Suggestions for a rugged Droid handset...

Afternoon Droidos,

can i ask for some help...?? I ahev a customer that is asking for Droid devices that they want to use in a heavy environment - as such they would like either a ruggedised device or a Droid that can take a knock and maybe stick it in a case. Price is important to them and the devices are being handed out to ordinary employees so will not need high-end/wizz-bang devices.

So can anyone give me a steer on a ruggedised Droid device or maybe a mid-level droid handset that can be used with ruggedised cover...??


Thanks

Your best bet would be a phone wrapped in a rugged case. The Otterbox Defender series is extremely rugged and is designed to protect the phone from very heavy abuse.

I don't think you're going to find any phone that is built rugged (like a Panasonic Toughbook, for example).

The only thing that comes to mind other than a phone with a Otterbox is the default. Don't know alot about it though.

Hi Joe,

the Defy is probably the only device I've found so far...just wondered if anyone knew any other, perhaos non-major brand devices that would fit the bill...

Thanks for the reply
