Rugged phones, any good??.....

[SteveA]

Hi all, I need a new phone and somebody suggested I look at cat phones.... I think he must be pulling my leg.

 

 

Do you use a rugged phone?

I'd like one that has a battery that doesn't need recharging for a week, sends & receives texts & maybe something with a GPS Sat Nav thing built in (although not essential because I can orientate not too bad via the position of the sun).

 

I don't need the phone for emails or searching the internet.

Definitely dont want to spend any more than a £100... (preferably no more than £20).

 

Any suggestions?

cheers, steve

There's one coming up in Aldi tomorrow by chance, don't know if it's any good, but I will probably be getting one!

I have this phone for work, I swear it's bombproof!! Can't tell you the model though! It's nothing fancy but for calls and texts it's perfect. I had a tantrum a few weeks back and bounced it around the workshop... I picked the pieces up, put it together and it still works!! Big respect!

I've got this one. It's ok but the battery life isn't as good as my old Samsung Solid.

Just get a smaller cheapish smartphone, put Gorilla glass on the front and one of those rugged cases - like this

I did this on mine and it has survived a few drops etc

Not rugged but my iPhone case is a tech21 impactology case. Slim and shockproof. Drop

It daily and the phones fine after two years.

Why not just get a good protective case for your current phone? Plenty of good solid cases made now, check out Spigen.
