Just how durable IS the Apache?
You might be surprised at how durable this chunk of plastic really is. I mean I used to throw Startacs at the wall back in the day, but yesterday my Apache impressed me.

First off, I am about as abusive as it gets on cell phones. If it drops a call it isn't uncommon to see a phone flying through the air shortly thereafter. I put a brand new Samsung A900 through the washing machine (on accident). I played baseball with a few Nokias. Ran over my Nokia 6185 TWICE at the airport (it still works to this day, omg). The list never ends.

So I was on the phone with my bank last night. Thank god Chase could buy out WaMu and bend me over and fail to use lube. But that isn't the point. The point is they had me so p*ssed that I threw my Apache through my winshield. Literally. And low and behold, the bugger still works! I have NEVER seen a cell take that kind of impact and live (short of my 6185).

Note: Didn't even f*** up the LCD.

Yeah, I know. I work with tech equipment all day everyday so sometimes it's not anger but pure boredom. BTW, I can top throwing my monitor. How about a 50" Sony bigscreen off my deck. The horizontal sync finally gave out, so me and my roommate gave it a "Viking funeral".

Re: Just how durable IS the Apache?
Must have been a S****y windshield....Dropped mine once in a Seidio case and was happy that it still worked. Pulled it off my desk by snagging the USB cable and it landed on my pedalboard and shattered the screen. I replaced the screen and it is still going strong. Tough for a phone, especially a PDA.

If you're talking about a Guitar effects pedal board then yes! Keep your device away from those. I dropped old phone on a stomp box and part of the front and the screen.
