Hydro Life is surprisingly attractive for a tough phone
Hydro Life is still svelte enough to take out for a night on the town thanks
This makes it really easy to hold and use

The black glass on the front is more prone than others to collect fingerprints
thickness makes it somewhat chubbier than other handsets
feel cheap in the slightest
