tough phone

[newboater]

hi can anyone recommend me a tough phone ?:

I work in a fairly industrial environment - good at killing phones!

I used to have a JCB phone which was great - but very basic (not in the least smart!).

Since then, I've had a series of iPhones and protected them in Otter-Boxes which are available from light weight impact protection right up to submersible cases (http://www.otterbox.asia/armor-series.aspx) you can drive over (how do I know this?) without the phone being damaged! They are a bit chunky though.

I currently use one of these:

Which doesn't increase the size too much but provides good protection from dropping & dust ingress.

That might be a better option in the long term.

I had one of these made by Samsung. It's not the trendiest but it works and is very robust...

saw in paper today that DeWalt have released a phone designed for tough use. As usual with DeWalt expensive at about £380

Though, compared to the price of most Smart Phones - that's not bad (if it's any good!)

I use a Griffin Survivor case. YouTube videos of it. There are people dropping their devices off buildings and the device doesn't get damaged.

Amazing case. I've dropped my device countless times without a problem. Even given the phone to my kids and also nieces and nephews without problems.

Believe me if those kids can't break the phone it's pretty much indestructible.

I wish there were a tough Windows phone! I know we are a bit of a minority - but I don't think I could go back to Android or iOS now!
