You can get a Moto G for about £129 (3rd gen is the waterproof one) and an otterbox is about £20. That RugGear one looks very impressive, but I bet it's not as quick as the current generation of popular smartphones and therefore not as versatile. Plus with the Moto G (other similar ones are available), being so much cheaper, if you lose it it doesn't matter as much.
LOL funny you should mention this, trust me the RugGear is the best i have every come across and i would buy the higher price units but i just can't afford them, so for the last few years i have been running the LG G3 with a OtterBox Defender and it has been bomb proof, but i was painfully aware that if i need to get out of here in a hurry then lugging the laptop was not the best idea, so done some digging and bought the Moto G 3rd Gen with another OtterBox Defender and some tempered glass from Ultimate Shield and a 128GB SD card and away you go all in your back pocket and ready to go, as i say would have liked the ruggear but ££ ruled my decision.

Please bear in mind i am prepping for the River Thames to flood and how i can get to safe ground, I'm not worried about the end of the world..... I'll die with the other Minions.
I can't trust Govt or local Council to help me so i have to help myself.
