Default Small rugged SW for long distance bike tour - Sony SW-100 or SW07

Having both of those (sw-07 sw-100) I wouldn't consider either one "rugged"

It wouldn't take much of a drop to rip the folding lid and wires right off
of them...


That's true if operating the SW100 open. But if moving about you can
operate it closed, and it comes with a little pseudo-leather
semi-pouch which closes over the lid snap, which both cushions falls
and stops the lid opening in a fall. The volume control and an earphone
jack are accessible with the pouch thing closed. Pretty robust!
