If you don't want a smartphone sonim phones are pretty tough. That's what we were given at work and seem to work good.
Maybe you need to stand a little farther away from the crusher.:tong
Keep the comments coming but I appreciate all the responses. I will probably stay with the Samsung and move up to an S4 as so far I've been relatively satisfied with it. My wife and I tried the chinese knockoff smartphones prior to our S3's and weren't very happy with them. I've had mine in a cheap rubber case with a plastic face shield from ebay but see I should move up to the Otterbox or similar case.
I'm still waiting for the Detroit Diesel phone....has 10x the volume...
And can operate encased in oil/grease...
I know the cost goes up quite a bit, but you should try and get the galaxy S5, it is much better than the S4 was fyi. Otterbox cases are definitely worth their cost.
I believe the S5 is the best phone that Samsung has made. Dust/waterproof, replaceable battery, and micro-SD card. A good case like and Otter will protect from most abuse.
Same here, I've went through 3 LifeProof cases on the iPhone I have now. The cases may be "life proof" but they're not CM proof...
BTW - Detroits don't leak, they mark their territory.:cool2
Interesting thread guys. I have a oldie Samsung Rugby Pro. Never put a case on it for the three+ years I've had it and its still holding up. With that being said, it was "obsolete" three years ago so I would like to upgrade to an equally rugged phone.
