Thanks all and yes we've had all of two days of sunshine here in Olympia this month much the same amount of rain and clouds as Oregon. Charging isn't a problem just want decent battery life.

I probably should have been a little more specific as I’m interested in the flip phones that are sold as "rugged" or military grade or tested. Primary use to make and receive calls. Cases just don’t work for me as I want to pull it out of my pocket and use it.
