I bought this phone a few months ago as my other one that I had for two years broke when it fell 6 feet. I promptly called AT&T and spoke with a representative who recommended the Sumsung Rugby as one of the most "rugged" phones they have. I gladly purchased the phone for about $50.00 as I was looking forward to having a phone that was able to take some "wear and tear".
For a couple of months this phone worked fine ... and yes, took some minor abuse in stride. And then, the other day I reached into my pocket for my car keys, and the phone fell out. The case broke apart where the phone flips on the right side ... and now some of the electronics are exposed. It fell about three feet onto the asphalt. I was told that it could take "punishment" up to a 30 foot fall.
It makes me wonder a bit about the military specifications mentioned in the paperwork and various sites I've seen.
If you buy this phone, I sincerely hope that you have better luck than I did!

I am a contractor. I went through three phones in the first six months of 2010, including a Motorola flip, a LS Shine and a Samsung flip. I have now had this phone for three months without a problem. I carry it in a tool belt or in a leather pouch on my belt. It has taken more abuse than any of my other phones and continues to work great. I am sure I could break it if I wanted to, but it is by far the most durable phone I have had. Not a lot of features I don't need, and reliable performance. What more could I ask for?
