Can your iPhone 6 do that?

It’s OK to admit the answer you are looking for is, UM, NO? Admit it, you probably just winced a bit when I dropped it. It’s the stuff tech lovers nightmares are made of. We pay more money for the Otterboxes to protect our precious phones than the phone itself it seems like these days. But, Kyocera and Bear Grylls would like to put to an end to the daily terror of the dreaded “phone drop”. They have accomplished that goal with this tough little phone my guys are fighting over, the Kyocera Brigadier Verizon sent us to test out. Oh, and by the way….the phone came up with a tiny chip in the plastic casing of the phone, about the size of a pin head in the above video. The phone itself was unscathed.

While the main feature of this phone is pretty obvious: IT’S TOUGHER THAN A HONEY BADGER….There are a few other things that make this a favorite in this house:

• Street noise is cancelled out. This has been really useful for my husband making calls while downtown.
• It’s got a heavy, sturdy feel and you’re not afraid if it takes a tumble.
• Built in flashlight means not having to use a third party app.
• The altitude detector has been great while hiking around Denver.

Who is the phone good for? I would think it would make a great phone for tweens/teens that seem to drop everything. Business men who tend to drop their phones at the beginning of every trip *cough*. Busy moms and really, anyone who lives in Colorado! It’s an active phone that isn’t afraid to live life with you!

*Disclosure: I was sent the Kyocera Brigadier as part of my participation in the #VZWBuzz Verizon Social Media Team
