Rugged smart phones??

[yardmanlee]

Im in the market for a smart phone, currently I have a samsung rugby flip phone, this is one tough phone and has lived up to the normal everyday wear and tear, dropped a million times run over by the velke, been wet too many times and the amount of dust that goes along w/ our type of work, I've looked at the casio g'zone commando, and talk to the cell people about the droid and iphone w/ the otterbox, they seem to think it would last?? what do you have?? what doesnt work?


Thanks!!

I have this phone. It takes a beating. Dropped it a million times dust, water etc. Gets good reviews. Short battery life is all I can say negatively.

i'm hoping that g-shock comes out soon. I'm in a test group with Cassio & Verizon and get the g-zones 6-12+ months before the release. I currently have the CommandoII which last I heard should be released in early spring now, it was supposed to be released this summer but Cassio put it off for what ever reason. I love the Commandos, I have gone to water parks and left it in my bathing suit pocket all day with no problem. A couple weeks ago I was at the beach and had it in my pocket while I was p***ing in the ocean. That was the first time I drowned it in salt-water. All of this without a thick case covering it.

The best thing about the commando is I score free drinks all the time at bars. Get people to buy me a drink if I will drop my phone into the beer mug

I had the otter box and didn't like it. I now have the life proof case for my iphone and love it. You can actually take it swimming. Down side is it costs $80

Samsung has a Rugby smart phone when this Atrix craters that's what I'm getting. I have a Rugby flip phone and it's held up well. Wife has it now.

Same here broke 2 otterboxes. Really like my Lifeproof case.

Actually, my Evo has held up very well. Just about as good as any other phone I've had. Dropped, sat in water twice, snow.

Too bad the service from Sprint isn't as good as the phone.

The Otterbox is overrated, it makes the phone huge and makes it sound like you're talking in a tin can.
