Toughest mobile phone?

[harvey b davison]

Ive got a £10 nokia. You can text and ring on it, thats all its supposed to do, it is a phone after all. Battery lasts over a week and if i did somehow break it, i'd just buy another and put sim card back in.

I used to go through phones every few months, had this a year now. Regularly covered in wet saw dust, mud, rain etc. The amount of times it's had a bad enough drop would have cost 3 iPhone screens.

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?

How much! £500?

Little too expensive for a work phone for me mate.

Had mine for nearly 2 years. Been through a tattie harvester without any damage and still going strong.

Why do you need a phone when you're climbing or dragging timber?

If someone wants to talk to you they will probably try again when you're not climbing or dragging timber!

 

I'll be proved wrong on this one! Again!!

Had iPhones for a few years now in cases. Currently using a Tech 21- Impactology case (10-15 quid) which I originally bought thinking I'd take the phone out of when I wasn't at work.

 

Never bothered though because it isn't a bulky case. Dropped it out of the odd tree, car roof etc with no problems and when I was on the tools my phone lived in the thigh pocket all day, all weathers, everyday.

Like some others on here I just get a heavy duty case for my phone. Most modern smart phones are dust and water proof as standard and are built stronger then what they used to be.

 

Ive currently got an i-blason case on my Galaxy s7 and I've had no issues with it so far. It's been dropped screen down on a tile floor, dropped numerous times in general day to day use and even dropped it in a muddy puddle the other day whilst out mountain biking with no Marks on the phone or the case!

I use these and leave the phone in a safe place nearby, normally top pocket of boiler suit. Buy VerveRider+ By Motorola Wearable Wireless Waterproof Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones | John Lewis

 

I'd say it more in the case you buy for the phone rather than the phone it's self.

I always use cases made by UAG. They cost abut 20 quid but they protect my Samsung note 4 well. Dropped it a few times and not scratch or break.
