Gotcha. I don't really have any suggestions for that sort of use. I use a Bluetooth headset for my calls, so my phone is safe in my pocket if I'm outside. So that may be one work around (cheaper to replace if damaged).
On the device front, maybe have him look into the Razer Phone 2, which is IP 67 rated and won't break the bank. I got it a few weeks ago and have overall been happy with it. The two biggest drawbacks are a poor camera app (can get a Gcam port for it), and a lot of people think the screen is calibrated too warm. But for the price, it definitely holds its own and is very snappy.
