Looking to buy a good flip phone but haven't found much. Help?

I've decided to downgrade from my current Android smartphone to a flip phone. I'd like to unplug a bit, and also get the battery life/durability advantage with a flip phone.

However, I can't find any good ones - the nicest ones are made in Asia and don't sell to US. Any reccomendations? Suggestions?

If you're on AT&T or T-Mobile, I'd definitely recommend a Kyocera DuraXE. It's rugged, has good battery life, and even has LTE and WiFi. If that's fancier/more expensive than you want, or if you're on Verizon or Sprint, I'd go with a different Kyocera flip phone as they tend to be rugged and well-made.

Blackberry had some nice flip phones awhile back. Maybe you could find a refurbished one. Best bet would be the verizon model.
