While the phone itself is great, connectivity via Bluetooth is poor. it also did not come with a second cable, nor did the Verizon store sell one, so be prepared to order online to make it functional.

I had one of the first versions of Casio’s hardened phones and it was great for almost 3 years. I was happy to switch to this phone because it seemed to have everything that previous phone had while also being thinner and more visually appealing. Unfortunately the voice quality is completely unacceptable. Every person I speak to complains of not being able to hear me. This is a complaint I did not get once in 3 years with the earlier model. Additionally the software has a bug which confuses the incoming or dialed calls with the previous call’s supporting data. I am refusing to pay Verizon a restocking fee on this phone. I’m sure that Casio will have to pull it from the market.

Really love everything but the vibrate function. Sound quality incoming and outgoing is fine, not sure why others have had a different experience.

I had an earlier Casio G phone. And liked it. So I got the “Rock”.
This phone has a lot of fun features. Very neat compass/ temperature/ moon phase/ high tides function, good rubberized feel. Good display, camera with flash/ flashlight… etc.
BUT… voice quality is poor (hollow, crackly).
The poor quality has been a concern for other “G” phones by past reviewers, and it looks like this one is really the same. Too bad. Had to exchange.

Way too many cry babies out there. For the guy that wants a solid outdoor phone,, GET IT.
