Galaxy S5 and Droid turbo are both worth looking at (next month the S6 comes out). I have the Motorola Droid Maxx (latest Version) and I love it, best phone I've ever had! pictures and video are 10x better than my Apple 5s work phone and the battery just keeps on going!
I second the Droid Maxx. This is one tough phone.

I third the Droid Maxx. I go 3-4 days without having to charge it.

<---- loves the HTC phones.  It's reminds me of a cross between the Galaxy phones and the Droids.  Ive had both and prefer the HTC One the best.

I'm afraid I can't help ya as I still rock an iPhone4.  It's going on 5 years now and has been rock solid.

Me too. Well, I'm rocking a 4s. It's been bombproof. In the 4 years I've had it, it's been dropped a few dozen times. Once into the toilet, left it in the front yard for 2 days in December, takes a licking, keeps on ticking.
 :dunno:

Phew. I have the 4s too and like it overall. My only complaint is that when it gets cold the stupid thing just shuts off. Other than that I like it and its not too big. I don't want to carry around a tablet in my dang pocket.  :yike:

Went from apple products to a Note 4. Had otter box cases on all the apples never broke a screen not to many complaints other then the crap camera and extremely slow operation.

Currently have a otter box outer case with a guaranteed glass (or whatever its called) screen protector on the note 4, dropped it several times from various distances on to concrete and tile floors no issues. After getting used to the Android operating system I doubt I'll ever go back to Apple.

I used to think the same thing about a the "Phablet" To BIG!!! But after having one I'll never switch back, every time someone tries to show me something on there smaller phone I think to myself how did I stand that!!! Couple points to keep in mind about me though is I essentially work a desk job during the week but on the weekends I work on everything from Road graders to cars during that time I usually keep it off of my person because it is large. I'm also a large guy 6'3" and a weight I don't want to mention  :chuckle: so the note 4 does fit in my pants pockets and hand just fine but its not for everyone.

just my  :twocents:

I like my 6+ but it fits me 6.4 300+  also like onyx maps on it. I pretty much run my business from my phone.

Wow, I'm surprised how many have dropped their phones in the toilet!  I've been concerned about that but is far I haven't been so unfortunate. Especially concerned that I would drop it in there after having used the toilet.  :yike:

As for the durability of my iPhone 4, it's not been so good. It fell out of my shirt pocket while I was kneeling down pulling weeds. Couldn't have been a drop of more than 18 inches. The front screen shattered. Got it fixed for about $80. Couple weeks later it got dropped on a driveway as I was getting out of a car. Cracked the screen but not as bad as the first time. Not long thereafter I traded my broken phone for my wife's phone when she upgraded. This one seems to be more durable than the first one for some reason. I have dropped it many times, and it's only got a small crack on the front, and a small crack on the rear, neither of which affects the usability of the phone.

The worst thing about this phone is the battery life. It won't go half a day without needing to be plugged in.

I have the Kyocera DURA-Force, it's a military spec smart phone. It is shock and drop protected has the Gorilla glass screen, and is water resistant up to 30 minuets in up to six feet of water. Has its' own built in case and runs on the Android platform.

Let's just say that there was no Busch Lites to blame for it. That's not to say there wasn't beer to blame for it...it's just to say that there would never, ever be any Busch Lite to blame for anything in my life.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I love my note 3. No major drops yet but it does everything I need it to do and more. I am glad I got it. I have a case on and a tempered glass screen protector.  The case is bothering me more then the phone.
