GearMania: Super Phone

Let's face it; These days, anybody can get a cellphone that lets lets you text, watch video and search the web. What they don't have is a cellphone that actually stands up to the abuse most guys dish out. Like in urinals. Many, many guys lose cellphones in the bathroom. We press the cell to our ear with one shoulder, talking while doing our business, and a single flinch sends the phone tumbling into the toilet bowl.

The Sonim XP Endro changes all that. This ruggedized, rubberized beast can get run over by a car, rained on, snowed on, frozen heated up and fall off a two-story building without giving up the ghost. According to one reviewer, you can even text in the bathtub. Sure, no one would actually want to text in the bathtub, but isn't it nice to know you could?
