Nokia is super tough, case is redundant!
Making a joke? I thought you had the issue of your screen / cam getting scratched.

Anyhow, I've had all sorts before. None of them were any good when it came to robustness, not Nokia, Sony, Samsung, or Motorola. The only one which gave me proper longevity is a very old Siemens ME45 (not a smart phone, though it can do emails, java apps and web pages through its minuscule monochrome screen) - it survived multiple drops onto concrete floors from several storeys up and even lasted through water submersions (I was using it on construction sites). It's still my backup phone even after 13 years, battery life also still 7 days without recharge.

My previous Motorola Milestone lasted reasonably but got scratched like crazy, and even started getting dead spots on its screen in later life. With the Samsung I've opted for a book-sleeve instead (after trying out the plastic sheet) - thus far (1.5 years) it's not got any damage, keeping fingers crossed. I was looking for the newer Moto Razr's (water / dust / shock / scratch resistant - at least if you can believe the reviews), but in my country they're next to impossible to get hold of.
