I've had this phone for a week. It's extremely sturdy, and I look forward to having a phone that doesn't require white-glove treatment while I'm biking, hiking, or out in the rain. The interface is Verizon's basic cheesy design they force onto all their phones--functional but nothing exciting. The reception is pretty good--roughly as good as the Motorola E815 it replaced. It has other features you'd expect from Casio--a stopwatch, countdown timer, and flashlight. If you want to watch TV on your phone, or want a phone that takes photos as good as a real camera, it's a bad choice. But if you want better than a typical fragile phone that breaks if you drop it or take it skiing or kayaking, this is the perfect choice.

Style-wise, it's an exciting phone. It lives somewhere between steampunk and the latter-day Star Wars designs. It's chunky, sure, but in the way that some of those badass watches are. It's certainly durable, too. I took it kayaking and left it in my pocket. For the record, I never submerged, but I was not afraid of getting splashed. If you keep the ports for charger, battery case and headphone closed, the phone can withstand heavy rain, unbearable humidity, drops from 1.5 meters and dust.

Though it is has rather basic offerings, the Verizon Wireless G'zOne Type-S is a rugged and sturdy phone perfect for extreme sports enthusiasts, industrial workers, and those who just want a reliable and durable phone.

If you're going to be making calls while firing an M4 assault rifle, for instance, this is probably a good choice (though you'll probably want to keep both hands on the carbine). And, in that case, you won't mind the inability to download the latest Rihanna track. For every point this phone lost in capabilities, it made up for in improved style, and the addition of Bluetooth. It hits all the right notes for calling, with speaker-independent voice dialing, easy conferencing and a good speakerphone. So who cares if it doesn't make the best sounding calls. You're outside, live a little.

Verizon's second waterproof phone can do aquatic acrobatics just as well as its predecessor, but doesn't quite measure up in terms of voice quality and features.
