Huh, interesting choice. I think a normal non-rugged phone with a case is still a better option. Power banks > swappable batteries in my opinion. I always put a powerbank in my pocket and whenever I'm not using it, I just connect it to my powerbank and leave both in my pocket, so I never have low battery on my phone and I have zero downtime. Speaking of downtime, make sure you disable automatic updates on your phone, I read a news story about someone needing to make an emergency call and found out their phone was automatically updating. Best time to update is when you are certain that there wouldn't be an emergency for the duration of the update. Preferrably when you are near family members so you can use their phone if there's an emergency.
Anyways, isn't the Xcover for corporation only? How did you manage to buy it for personal use?
