Not quite as robust as advertised

As a winter outdoor enthusiast, I ordered the Xcover because I need a sturdy phone that can fall down sometimes, can get dirty or wet but still also is technically viable.
After I got off the phone now 4 weeks in operation ..

Robustness

Dust resistance: though the Xcover to be dustproof, I realized when opening that had settled behind the battery cover sand.

Crashes: fall several times was the Xcover harm.

Waterproof: I wash the Xcover regularly to rid it of dirt. no problem.

Scratch resistance: I've made no experience with the scratch resistance of the screens of other smart phones. Is described as incredibly scratch resistant as the Xcover is terrible. There are distinguished already several partially deeper scratches on the display. will ensure that advertised the scratch resistance I'm a bit disappointed.

Technology

Camera: I think the quality of the photos for occasional recordings or snapshots sufficient. If you want to make super great photos but you should take land right camera itself. Shooting in low light conditions are not particularly.

Software: the crashes described in test reports are just beginning occurred to me every now and then. Now I have keien more problems.

Reception: now and then I understand I will receive even though I still submit may neither receive messages / calls.

I am on the whole very satisfied with the Xcover and would recommend it if you want to have an outdoor phone still needed but a smartphone. Cutting back on technical features or the camera I find ok at the quite reasonable price.
