If you’re the clumsy type who often manage to get your phone wet by either dumping it on a sink with running water (raise hand) or having a glass of water spill its contents on your phone (raise hand), then you might want to invest on phones that are made for such abuse.
There are not a lot of Android handsets available that caters to the rugged or active lifestyle but Sony has two that targets different price points. The Sony Xperia go is an entry-level phone while the Sony Xperia acro S is for those wanting more power and size from their phones. Both of these are water, dust, and scratch-resistant smartphones!
Sony Xperia go
