What has your Commando been through?

Just wondering who else has had their phone go through some serious abuse?

Mine took its first fall yesterday....
I'm not very impressed with it's "shock resistance" anymore, to say the least. :rolleyes:

I was using it on the road, then set it inside the outside flap of my camera case,
on my seat next to me when done. (I forgot to zip up the flap)
When I got out of my vehicle I grabbed my case and started to head in.
It only fell maybe 2-3 feet onto my concrete driveway.
Big ol gouge out of the grey plastic as well a the rubber on the bottom left corner.
Yeah, it still works...but the casing isnt anywhere near as durable as I had thought it was.
Not to happy with that. :(
 
But it still works! Ain't gotta look good doing it, as long as its just cosmetic damage.

Mines been kayaking(similar to the other story, mesh bag in front of me), used in heavy rain, dropped from my tool belt while working the trusses of a 2 story house, dropped, dropped, and dropped again, left in the glove box of my tractor in a dusty field when it was 100+ degrees out, regularly cleaned in the sink (I've grown bacteria cultures from whats on some peoples phones), still nothing as crazy as dropping it in a septic tank or oil rig but its at least survived everything most would need it to handle.
 
so glad I bought this phone,I just useualy watch netflix in the shower with it but glad to know it can hold up to so much more
 
Twice in the washing machine in the past week. First time I got it before the spin cycle - 2nd time the phone (and my wallet) when all the through the wash, rinse and spin.

Still works - I'm glad I waited for the Commando to buy my first smart phone.
