Even when we retreated inside, though, we still had to crank the volume to make out what our friends were saying. Ironically, we had a difficult time hearing our callers while chatting outdoors. Pressing those spots and hearing the lid make a satisfying click is one of the high points in the user experience, at least where tactility is concerned.Īlthough sound from the two front-facing speakers was loud, phone calls sounded weak on our end. To re-secure it, just press the seven dots printed on the battery cover and slide the lever back into the lock position. Removing the back cover, is also easy: just flip a lever to the unlock position and scrape the lid off. And though they stay put, these details, too, also make the phone feel deceptively less solid than it is. The port covers are easy to lift, particularly if you can wedge a fingernail under there. Taking a tour around the body, you'll find a covered 3.5mm headphone jack and a MicroUSB port, along with a volume rocker, programmable key, camera launcher, and power button.
As it turns out, without that extra pressure you'll have some irritating (and fairly frequent) moments where you flick the screen and nothing happens. After about a week of testing, we realized that we had subtly adapted our behavior, and learned to apply extra pressure while swiping and tapping objects. Next to our Motorola Droid's screen, the Commando's 480 x 800 screen is brighter and more vibrant, though at times the touchscreen - encased in 1-mm-thick Gorilla Glass - can be vexing to use. For a phone this imposing, the capacitive screen is surprisingly modest at 3.6 inches, and it's more cumbersome to hold than, say, Samsung's Infuse 4G, which boasts a whopping 4.5-inch display. Given its heft (5.1 x 2.6 x 0.6 inches), it's hard not to feel that Casio squandered some precious space. In part, though, it's the small screen that makes the Commando look like a less-than-serious phone. That's mostly because its sides are lined in plastic - a material that also makes this handset lighter than you'd expect. And yet, for such a tough device, there's something oddly toy-like about it.

With a name like "Commando," would it really surprise you to learn this is one macho handset? Particularly compared to the Motorola Defy, a phone compact enough that you could mistake it for a garden-variety Android device, the Commando has an aggressively industrial aesthetic that combines rubberized surfaces, red accents, and loads of exposed screws.
