Possibly the World’s Toughest Civilian-Grade Smartphone

Gentlemen, this is the Casio G-Shock Phone, possibly the toughest civilian-grade smartphone in the world. Yes, it may look like a mutha but this concept Android smartphone that’s reportedly very close to production is as tough as nails with bags and bags of ruggedness. Just look at it, the Motorola Defy II and Sony Ericsson Xperia active look like Hello Kitty phones in comparison.

Inspired by the Casio G-Shock line of rugged watches, the G-Shock Phone features a metal case back and a plastic/resin construction to give it toughness that are unheard of for consumer phones. It’s:

Shock resistant from drops up of 10 feet
Water resistant up to a depth of 10m
Pressure resistant up to 1.0 bar
Can apparently hold up 1 tonne

The G-Shock Phone made its debut at CES a couple of weeks ago. Detailed specs are not available at the moment but expect the device to have a full gamut of outdoorsy sensors as well like an altimeter and barometer.

The G-Shock Phone may not win any design awards but that testosterone-laden look is an attraction all of its own.

A couple more pictures of the Casio G-Shock Phone after the jump.
