If we have moved onto recommending "just phones" that you can't break, try a FRRUGGED128. Bright yellow, can't lose it, black rubber shock pads. Bought the wife one, so far its survived falls, throws, liquids, epoxy, molten bronze, paints and so on...hasn't been through the washing machine yet but it's only a matter of time. You can browse the internet, so they do say, but it's not that sort of phone, tiny screen.
Wife hates it.
