Am likely going to have to go to a different phone. 10 yr old plus LG Envy 3 is slowly dying, buttons don't work etc. screen/ camera scratched up.

This phone opens and has keyboard. Has been in a protective plastic case with plastic screen protector built into case  but it has openings for camera microphone etc. Fine pocket dust has gotten between case and screen scratching screen and camera lens to where it almost unusable. Worst is when fixing or installing tile where lots of climbing in and out of trench is involved. Also mowing grass and baling leads to lots of pocket debris as well.

Lot of people have smart phones but they seem fairly delicate and look awfully prone to breaking ?

Sort of looking at Galaxy S7 but cases that are out there seem ? for the protection I am trying to provide.

Otterbox is supposedly rugged but has openings that will let dust in between case and phone. Gorilla glass and alpha glass seem like good protection but may not always be compatible with all their cases.

Lifeproof  case is supposed to be sealed to keep all dust out ? but may also not be able to use hardened glass screen protection ?

What is out there that is dust tight and offers maximum protection possibly even covering camera lens with protection?

Not looking for discussion on brands of phones already decided I do not want a fruit phone.

Looking for ironclad protection in a phone case for a Galaxy S7 that allows use of gorilla/ alpha glass on phone then a fully sealed dustproof case then perhaps a soft leather or nylon holster that a belt threads through. Do not want chinchy plastic belt clips as I  know they will break or get raked off. I'm most concerned about crushing phone when working around and on machinery hooking, unhooking etc.  Don't wear shirts with pockets and I don't think it will carry well in pants pocket either.

Is there such a thing as a shoulder type holster for cell phones ?

Web links to cases, screen protectors, and holsters would be appreciated.


I have a Galaxy S7 that I use with Verizon.  I bought mine used off of Amazon and have had no problems.  I bought a Otterbox Commuter and put another companies glass screen protector on it.  It does not have any type clip but offered good protection except for dust.  I would have to use my Air Duster can every once and awhile to gently blow on it.  I would just keep in my pocket and it was nice to slide in and out due to Otterbox Commuter design.  I bought my daughter the same used phone and she has the more heavy duty Otterbox with the belt clip.  I do not like it , clip too fragile.  I used the defender case before on other phones and did not like it.Last week I was looking at the clearance rack at Walmart and saw a few cases.  I bought a lifeproof case for my phone.  $4.50  It looks like it seals up phone well.  I did not take glass off screen so there are issues but I am impressed how sealed up it is.  
Not sure if I will keep using the lifeproof case but for the money I will try it out for awhile.
I use the around the neck bluetooth headsets for telephone conversations.  Sometimes I listen to music but for me it is very handy to just put earbud in my ear when phone rings and tap button on neck device. Cell phone sits in Ram mount while in tractor, sprayer, etc and I have both hands free.  Same thing while in shop, I set on wireless charging station and can roam in shop.  Yes, I have driven off without the phone and I get the vibrating neck unit telling me I am out of range and have to go back and get my phone.
Never used a holster, I would like to find a belt clip made of leather that has lasted as many years as the holster for my original Leatherman tool.
