Casio G'zOne Commando Overview

The Casio G'zOne Commando is a rugged Android Phone that is far from fragile and perfect for field workers ranging from construction and transportation to business and healthcare. Not only can it take a beating -- it actually meets military standards for 10G for immersion, rain, shock dust resistance, vibration, salt fog, humidity, solar radiation, altitude, low and high temperature storage.

The Commando mixes Android's modern smartphone power with the simplicity and utility that many people still prefer. For example, not only does it run Android 2.2 and have a 5MP camera, Wi-Fi and 3G Mobile Hotspot connectivity, but it comes in a compact frame and even offers T9 text entering that many still know and love.

For those who still prefer a rugged and compact handset but yearn for some of the smartphone essentials, the Casio G'zOne Commando could be right up your alley.

Casio G'zOne Commando Reviews

Phandroid
Th Casio g’zOne Commando is the first Android entry into Casio and Verizon’s lineup of rugged, world-proof handsets. The g’zOne (that’s pronounced geeze-One) lineup is known for being built tough and resistant to water, dust, shock, and general abuse.
CNET
The Casio G'zOne Commando is a durable and rugged handset that is also an Android smartphone. It has a great suite of applications for outdoor enthusiasts.
Engadget
As expensive as a flagship handset, the Commando offers military-grade resilience against drops, water, extreme cold, and other elements. But is it capable enough for everything else?
Phone Dog
The Casio G'zOne Commando is not just another rugged phone. It's an Android smartphone with a decent 800 MHz processor, a 5 MP autofocus camera, and 3G Hot Spot capabilities. Casio has a good reputation for making very durable rugged phones and the Commando is no different.
PCMag
Most rugged cell phones aren't smart, but the Casio G'zOne Commando is. It's Verizon's first Android smartphone we've seen that can take a beating, and it sports relatively high-end specs to boot.
Android Central
I kind of want to throw the Casio G'zOne Commando. Or at least just drop it. Maybe kick it down the street a little. Can't decide if that's because it's rugged to the point where it's trying to pick a fight, or if it's because of the ridiculous name.
Android Police
The Casio G'zOne Commando is a phone that knows what it is and what it isn't. It is not, for example, Casio's answer to the Galaxy S II or the EVO 3D - it simply doesn't have that much power under its rough, tough hood.
Mashable
Attention adventurers: Your smartphone has arrived. The hardened Casio G’zOne Commando is so tough, the company says it can withstand 30 minutes under three feet of water. Oh really? Let’s put it to the test.
Phone Arena
Over the years, Casio has been known for producing rugged Push-to-Talk phones for Verizon Wireless, from the Type-V and Type-S to the Boulder, Rock, Brigade, and Ravine. But this time around Casio brings to the table something different, the G’zOne Commando - a rugged Android smartphone.
Gotta Be Mobile
Smartphones are traditionally devices which we hold close and keep a watchful eye on when we could drop them, especially around water. But what about adventurers and contractors that need a rough and tumble phone that can handle the elements including the occasional drop into a puddle or flowing stream?

There are many demonstrations online, but the best one may very well be straight from the Casio team. These guys run over it, crash it, smash it, sledge hammer it and even blow a torch on it.
