MicroUSB and 3.5mm ports Cover Rubber Flaps

[E.L_Rey]

Hello All,
I am new to this forum. I would like to throw a some questions to all who own the Casio Commando. I recently purchased the Commando. I love this phone. Anyway, my question to all of you is the following:

-How durable do you think the microUSB and the 3.5 mm port cover plastic and rubber flaps are?

My concern is if the microUSB and 3.5 mm port cover flaps break off one day, they might be difficult to replace. I purchased the cradle desktop charger, so that I may not have to bother with opening and closing the flaps. I'm assuming the flaps may wear after repeated opening and closing. I'm interested in purchasing a hard cover for this phone in order to give it more protection from scratches. But the hard cover will not work with the desktop cradle charger. I know this phone is designed handle a 4-foot drop, I just like the added insurance that this phone can take a beating. I would appreciate any opinions to the above question or personal comments.

Thanks in advance,

E.L. Rey.

I have a cradle also and like using it. I agree the flaps could break off eventually. I dislike cases tho so do not use one and feel the Casio is tough enough to not need the extra for my usage. YMMV of course. To have to remove it from the case every time to charge seems to defeat the purpose of the easy charge cradle imo.
