Casio G'zOne Boulder / User Reviews

I am really abuse my it is always getting scratched up and it says you can run it over with a small car and this was 100% true because I ran my phone over with a 3/4 ton Chevy that weighs around 6000 pounds and all it did was break the front screen that is under another piece that must protect it every... More

Please make this into a smart phone! When I got this phone over 2 1/2 years ago, I tried 2 kill it! I ran over it with my car, I dropped it in a glass of coke- called it, answered it, rinsed it off & it still worked. So I let my then teething son, chew on it, slobber on it & throw it around... More

All the you saying this phone sucks is CRAZY i have had it for over a year & half its stands up to everything i give it! mud rain, swimming, so far the sound is great on mine maybe mine is updated! but thae sad news this is no longer at verizon they came out with 2 more gz ones since i purchased... More

I got this phone when I got my contract renewed 2009. I was coming from an old LG VX8300 and it was REALLY banged up. It had even got a little wet once and still worked. So I definetely considered I needed something durable, and this is what I chose.

The phone is water proof. I never tested that capability... More

This phone absolutely fell apart in a year and a half. Many of the things that went wrong (such as the battery pack lock breaking) were known manufacturing defects, but since after a year it was no longer under warranty I was told that nothing could be done. It is at a year and nine months now and... More

after a year and a half mine broke down(stopped recieving calls). battery life isn't the greatest. speaker phone not as loud as type-v. very disappointing

phone was pretty great for a month until it died unexpectedly today. no warning, no abuse, just DEAD! it is now living up to it's name it is a rock!

Im on my 3rd Boulder. The phone is definitely waterproof, heat resistant and shock proof. However, on the last 3 i have had usually the first thing to go is the circular lock on the back that holds in the battery (a little electrical tape to hold the battery in and i can live with that). But, a little... More

This phone works great. I have had no problems hearing anyone on it. I am unhappy about the battery life it doesn't seem to last long. It has been droped and child tested and survived we love taking this phone with us on the raft and fishing and not needing to worrying about it getting wet.

I really had great hopes for this phone I simply needed a phone that can make and receive calls and be a little bit rugged - frills not required. I like the size, shape, and ruggedness (which it is). However, it continues to lose calls, lockup completely (having to pull the battery out wiat 30 seconds... More

I got tired of having the free phones you get with contract renewal break for one reason or another, so I got this one. Since I've owned it I've put it through all sorts of tortures that most other phones would be unable to endure. I even ran it over with my Jeep just to see if it would hold... More

I wanted, although did not NEED a rugged, waterproof cell phone, and the looks and durability of the Boulder sold me. After using it for less than one month, I upgraded to a another phone. Simply put, here's my opinion, pros and cons:

Pro:

-Survives a drop to a hard surface with no problem.

-Waterproof,... More

I wish I had read the reviews before buying this phone, The guy at the VW store talked me into it because it was "rugged" and my previous phone broke when I dropped it. Verizon had to replace the phone 3 times in the first 4 months; once because it broke apart when I dropped it! The other... More

I got this phone for my husband because he is very rough with phones, I was having to get him a new one every 4-6 months. I was skeptical at first because of the reviews but I am glad that I decided to get it for him, he has had it for over a year now and it still works GREAT!!! The sound quality isn't... More

Is it waterproof - yes. That is about all I can about this that is remotely positive. Actually, I dropped the phone and it broke the cover so mine isn't waterproof anymore - but I s'pose that is my fault. What's wrong with it:

1. The compass function is a bad joke. Use it to get lost... More

I've had my G'Zone for over a year now and it is definitely indestructible. I've thrown it, dropped it and even ran it over once on accident. The only real damage to the phone is some scuffing and a small chip just above the camera lens. I've always been pretty timid about water,... More

I became eligible for a phone upgrade ("new every 2") and was looking for something to replace my aged LG 8300. Like many out there, I spend a lot of time outdoors and was looking for a rugged phone that would take some abuse. Many of the popular touch-screen phones are just too delicate for... More

There are plenty of reviews detailing the phone's basic service and functions. The scope of this review will focus on the g'zOne's media capabilities and similar features.

First and foremost, the g'zOne Boulder does not include any computer connectivity. Upon research, I haven't... More

This has been covered by many of the other reviewers. But thought I'd add one more review for the potential buyer. The bottom line is that if waterproof and rugged is the top priority for you, then you should buy this phone. Otherwise don't buy it. I am a commercial fisherman and have gone... More

I bought this phone after I dropped mine outside of my house and didn't realize it. There was over two feet of snow. I didn't find it until over a month later when the snow began to melt some. So I was on the look for one that could handle abuse - this was the ticket.

A year after having... More
