Phones[1] and tablets[2] have become an irreplaceable part of our workday, allowing us to remotely edit spreadsheets, monitor inventory, communicate with each other, or manage fleets. But most phones and tablets aren't made to withstand tough environments like construction sites -- or just frequent drops. 

There are, however, a subset of tablets that are built to withstand the most abuse (because let's face it, nothing is indestructible). They're often a pricey investment, but thanks to their tough exteriors, they'll prevent you from spending more money getting devices repaired or replaced. 

The tablets below are built to power through whatever wear and tear you can throw at them.
