Indestructible mobile phone!!

Hi all - looking for some practical advice. DS is 19 (on Friday) has dyspraxia and has got through 5 lumia 650 mobile phones in the last 17 months- all damaged beyond repair due to dropping or falling outr of pockets etc etc. Never done on purpose. Have tried various cases/screen protectors, all to no avail

He needs a mobile, but by heavens, I, and my bank account, need an indestructible one! Any recommendations?

Needs to be a smart phone, with camera, and ability to text, Whats aApp, the usual requirements these days, and preferably android as we are not an apple family. Oh and it mustn't look too clunky or old fashioned etc etc! As its his birthday we are prepared to go up to £200.

Any help very gratefully received - Thanks

I'm like your DS it's a running joke how many phones I break. I now have a Motorola (can't remember the name-wlll find out) but it's indestructible. It's made that it can be dropped from a third floor window and dropped in water. I have dropped it loads! I really recommend it!

It's a Moto X force!

Get an otterbox case, I have the medium toughest but they make some crazy tough ones. I drop it daily on concrete and it's fine. iPhone but they do android ones.

My brother and husband have this case for their phones when they're at work, one is a builder and one is in the forces. The cases really are brill. Couldn't recommend them enough. Failing that, Nokia 3210?? 😂

Somin XP7 / Land Rover XP7

For me I've found otterbox cases and Peli cases to be pretty indestructible.

Cat phones are indestructible and I think they have smart phone versions now. Otherwise go for a really tough case.

Cat / Land Rover - all made by somin
