After a long time of abuse my Samsung Rugby is about ready to be replaced. It's doing the turning off randomly thing. Anyone else NS like waterproof phones and shit? I need some ideas about what I should replace mine with.

Anything but a dicey iPhone 4, luckily I insured mine. Good one Apple...oh yes it's helicopter/high speed train aluminosilicate glass wrapped in stainless steel....but it's brittle as fuck and needs a case...APPLE LOGIC.

I had the orange boulder by casio and did a dive check with it by accident, didn't even realize until 3 hours later. Anyways, thing lasted 3 hours in 20 feet deep and even got a few texts, loved to just throw it at things too.

I have always used an indestructible phone and most likely always will but mine turns off randomly just like yours but the solution for me is to take out the battery and clean out the dust.

I've had this phone since the beginning of highschool I think, I'm a sophomore in college now. It's been fallen on while skateboarding about 100000 times, dropped of every quarter pipe at my local park. It had half a bottle of water spilled on it, then I took it apart and let it dry then put it back together. It worked again. It's been sandblasted on the beach while I was surfing on windy days.

Shuts off randomly sometimes, or if you bend it slightly it shuts off but for the most part has never failed me. I should probably get another one before the disappear completely.

LG Chocolate!

thought i was the shit back in 6th grade when i had one of these hahaha

never truly broke mine, the back button just spontaneously stopped working like twice though. my friend had a habit of opening and closing his all the time when he was bored, like just over and over again when he was bored... and he got it to the point where it would shut off everytime he closed it haha

pretty dope phone though

I had the flip version of that. I beat the shit out of that phone. After a couple years of abuse, the screen finally fucked up after landing on my shoe. That fucker was indestructible though. I've got an LG Versa now which is a brick too. I toss this puppy down the hallway, off stairs, and just generally abuse it. Only the occasional freeze, which is pretty good considering how I treat it.

Point is, if you like to abuse phones get an LG.
