Toughest mobile phone?

[Moony]

Does anyone use a mobile they consider indestructible?

I am looking for a phone that will stand up to the daily abuse they can sometimes receive in our industry, especially when climbing or dragging timber?

Had a jcb site master phone very basic calls and texts only. Stood up to all the abuise, fell out of trees, went into fishpond and never let me down.

I have the Kyocera KCS-701. It's tough, relatively good from a functionality point of view and doesn't look like a Tonka toy. I'd recommend it.

Put any smart phone in an Otterbox Defender, and I believe it will survive ok if you drop it off a multistorey. I've got an iphone 5 in one, and you'd have to do something pretty stupid to to wreck the phone (run it over?)- just make your existing mobile more durable, don't worry about another

I had this on silent in the yard and forgot about it, it snowed and I had to wait for the thaw a few days later to find it. It still had charge ,tough as old boots.

HTC explorer in my pocket every day climbing as well and its small only extra protection is a rubber cover.

had a CAT S40 - was solid, water proof, worked with gloves, good noise cancelation. Some git nicked it out me pocket in the Peru so got a Samsung X cover - cracked the screen in a week but otherwise tough enough but not as good as the CAT phones.

+ 1 for Otterbox, mines got an iphone 4 in it, which gives you an idea of how well its lasted, and the phone hasnt got a scratch on it.

Another one for the otter box. I ran over an iPhone 5 in the car and the phone didn't have a scratch, the case took all the impact. Needed a new otter box but much cheaper than the phone. 👍

I have an Aldi Workzone phone. It's tough, waterproof, has days upon days of battery life and is ****.

cheers, steve
