Aside from that, I've got little to no experience. I have an iphone 4s and the camera is awesome but the battery life is horrible.

I have an otter box on mine. I had a few too many one night and was telling a story around the campfire while holding it...welllll...one minute its in my hand and the other in the firepit!!!
I was able to fish it out of there and the otter box was completely melted. I had just bought this phone the week before and was pleasantly surprised when I took the covers off and the phone still looked brad new. I got lucky on that one.

As said, toughness is mostly about a good case. Not mentioned yet, but trident makes a good case, as well. I have had one my Droid three since new and it has taken a pretty good beating.
Regarding Android, beware if need true Java support (as opposed to Androids rendition), you may be disappointed. Don't know if that is the same with Iphone.

I had the Casio Boulder flip phone for years absolutely loved it, put the extended battery on it and could get three days out of it. I upgraded to an I-Phone 5 in May and put it in a Lifeproof case and have had zero trouble. Take it on the boat had it in my pocket all of Deer and Elk season rained on, tons of sweat and dirt no trouble at all! Only draw back is I have to make sure and close all apps or the battery goes in a day, if all apps closed I can get almost two days on a charge still.
As everyone else has stated it is the case that makes it.

The funniest part was I was standing there looking at my hand thinking"Did that just happen" . At the same time, my buddies wife looked at and said"Dude did that just happen"..thats when I realized WTF I need to get that out..
I'm never going to hear the end of that one. Otter boxes rock!
