Mobile phone for a gardener?

I have to send text messages to clients when I have mucky fingers from gardening. The dirt dries and becomes abrasive to the extent it's scratched the screen after closing it (clam phone). Is there a phone out there that may be able to cope with these conditions? A slide phone would be useless as the slides would be clogged within a month.
Thought I should point out that the scratches on the screen means I cannot read texts without scrolling up/down to avoid them.

    This sort of thing?

    Or these?

    Various manufacturers make them (I've seen a JCB branded one). Try a google for 'tough mobile phone' or 'rugged mobile phone'.

    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
