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?

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.

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.

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. 👍
