In the habit of dropping your phone? Even down the stairs? That’s fine, it can take it. All that heavy testing also guarantees that it will be more than adequate to survive anything you could accidentally put it through in daily life. This isn’t to say, though, that the only people who could get use out of the Commando are climbing mountains, sailing through hurricanes, or exploring Antarctica. In summary, any environment which is capable of rendering the Commando non-functional is probably also capable of killing its user. This is, by the way, about the altitude at which the average human being requires oxygen to maintain brain function for more than 30 minutes–or in other words, the altitude at which your smartphone becomes smarter than you are. Low air pressure to the equivalent of 15,000 feet above sea level. 4-inches per hour of rain, combined with 40 mile per hour winds. Equivalent of direct noon-day sun, for 24 hours. Complete submersion in water for 30 minutes. Salt water spray continuously for 24 hours. Freezing to -13 degrees Fahrenheit… continuously for four days. Casio lists on their website a complete round-up of the ways that the handset has been successfully tested and survived. This is emphatically not the case with the Commando. And for those who depend heavily on their gadgets while out and about in rough conditions, this is kind of like saying that your parachute is designed to open, but we haven’t really checked to completely make sure. If that design doesn’t work as expected out in the real world… oops.
They’re simply designed to withstand such things. Many “rugged” devices, particularly those intended for the civilian market versus the actual military or industry, are not actually tested to confirm that they hold up to the specifications that they advertise. Surprisingly, there are no significant restrictions on a company advertising their products as being “mil spec” rugged, or “designed to military standards” “designed” being the operative word. So in this context, what does “rugged” actually mean in real world terms? Depends on who you buy from, actually - it could mean very little.

The Commando does have a smaller screen than a non-rugged device of its size would, due to the size of the casing –at 3.6 inches, it’s probably one of the smaller screens to still feature a full WVGA (800 x 480) resolution.
