    Daughter has managed to crack screen on Lumia for the second time now.

    Is there anything else that is more robust?

    Any chance one of the billion adverts on this site getting permanently changed to a moto g advert? would reduce these phone threads to almost a trickle over night. Perhaps an offical endorsement of some sort? 😆

    Moto g in an otter box works for me and my toddler phone destroyer.

    Moto G in an Otterbox or anything else in an Otterbox for that matter.

    About to try out 11 year old son v Nokia Asha 503 which is built for the Indian sub continent and has its own protective back and gorilla glass albeit a proprietary somewhat restricted OS rather than Android. Time will tell.

    Get her a Nokia 100 until she can learn to look after expensive toys.

    IPhone 4s in a case is pretty tough.

    Any smartphone in a robust case, with a screen protector ought to survive a fair bit of punishment; my almost new iPhone 5 survived being dropped and cartwheeling four or five times down a steep Tarmac country lane, although possibly more by luck, with just a $2 clear plastic case and screen protector. A Lifeproof or Otterbox should give all the protection needed, and still be cheaper than replacing a smashed screen several times.
    I’m amazed at how clumsy people seem to be, I’ve seen any number of phones being used with smashed glass, mostly Samsung, as it happens, although a girl at work managed to smash an iPhone 3G screen five times… 😯
    There’s this Body Glove case, seems to be available for several different Lumia phones:

    Doesn’t have a screen protector, but one of those would cost peanuts anyway.

    Moto G in a Trident case for me

    and as for the Quechua mountain phone – it smashed falling out my pocket onto flat concrete… (they did refund it to be fair)
