Buy an Android device.

Buy an iOS Device
To be honest, at the end of the day, [insert any other cliche phrase], it's down to personal preferences. All touch-screen devices are delicate and not THAT durable (vs my old Motorola non-touchscreen, which was pretty much indestructable) and it seems some people are lucky and find they survive a drop, whilst others are unlucky. On one hand I drop my iPod all of the time and my Samsug Tocco Lite (I'm a clumsy bastard), yet my Dad dropped his iPod once and it cracked - the surface it drops onto I think can make all the difference too. The OP is having a lot of trouble with his Android device, whereas others have had a great experience with them. If you know a brand you can trust, I'd argue to go with them.
There's nothing wrong with an Apple device, like ANY other company they'll have devices that aren't up to the expected standards and iOS is pretty damn good, as I've said it's incredibly intuitive and ergonomic - for me that's a major selling point (particuarly ergonomics), for somebody else customisation might be the major selling point for a device.
If you can, go to a store and test out the devices for yourself and see what you think is best. The major difference between an Apple and any other device is, if anything goes wrong with an Apple device people will make a massive deal out of it and sit there gloating telling you how crap Apple is.
