Trident Kraken now out!

The kraken series for the TB is shipping now in red and pink!
http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-ThunderBolt/

I've never seen one of those cases, they look pretty sweet!!!!

Says in the description that it comes with a belt-clip/holster, guess I'll order the green when it comes in stock, if they don't add much bulk over the Seidio Active I'm using now..

I just received the Trident Aegis case, in black, for my TB and can tell you this is one very high quality case. I had an Otterbox Commuter for my DINC and it was kinda cheesy for the price. The Aegis is what I'd consider the equivalent of the OB Commuter, but much higher quality. If anyone is sitting on the fence deciding between the Otterbox Defender and this newly released Kraken, I'd lean towards the Kraken.

I'd like to get the Aegis case - anyone know of any coupon codes?

What an awesome looking case! Great find I like that it has the dust covers over the mic and cam. And here I was all set to buy an Otterbox Defender case tomorrow lol.
The Seidio Defense case they sell at Best Buy under the name PT is pretty solid as well, it has a rubber covering over the cam that you just flip around when you need to use it, but I had to pass on it since it has no built in screen protector. I enjoy having a completely wrapped phone.
After perusing the Aegis cases, I gotta say I love the color/pattern scheme of it, but I would prefer the protection the Kraken offers, though I'm not as big on the Kraken look. Such a tough choice!

Those of you with either case - how bad is it with lint? I heard these cases are terrible with lint.

I have an Aegis on my Nook Color, and it does attract lint on the rubber bits. Wouldn't be a huge deal for me as I don't put mine in my pocket normally (I use the belt clip on my phone pretty much all the time).
Anybody who ordered the Aegis for the TB, did it have a clip included, or is it just the case only?

Aegis series is just the case... I use it with the Seidio Active Holster I bought...

How do the Kraken series cases compare with the Otterbox Defender? Was holding out for the Otter, but now these have intrigued me.

So the Aegis fits the Seidio Active holster without any issues? I've got one of those already (and a Seidio/Patriot case/holster, and a Case-Mate-Barely there, and a... I see a pattern here, Case addiction is a bad thing, lol).

Check out the cyclops case

I just recieved my Aegis case. It's a good case. I'm coming from an HTC Eris with Otterbox dual layer case. This case isn't dual layer, but it's dual sided, and seems tougher around the corners where contact is most likely to be made. It looks good, feels good in the hand. It does add bulk and will set you back $20-30. The heft of this device with the case is closing on half a pound!

Can you post some pics

It does perfect! I use the Aegis case and Seidio Active Holster.

Good Mytouch 4G case

So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

OEM tmobile mytouch black rubber slip on case is what ive had since release in november. very happy with it

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

I agree! Best case I've used so far (and I've used silicone, tpu, trident cyclops, and the aegis). Thing rocks and really does protect

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!

I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.

I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.

Trident aegis case FTW

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

lol this seems like itll feel weird, especially in the pocket
the TPU Fusion case is the best ive seen..
the regular silicone cases are nice too but the rubber is so grip-y that its hard to pull the phone out of the pocket lol

The trident case looks great I'm going to order it.

my sister has the TPU case and i think im going to pick one up they look great and feel good in the hands.

I bought this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K575E0/ref=oh_o02_s00_i01_details
It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,

Belt Holster

Does anyone recommend a good belt case holster? I prefer a vertical one, and one big enough to fit in with a tpu case... any suggestions?
I am considering these...

I've heard the holster for the Seidio Surface case will hold a TPU case as well if it's slim enough. Very good holster BTW.

EDIT: Saw the link for the Seidio holster in your OP. I wouldn't go with that one because it is made for a phone with no case on it.

Well I personally have one but the only case I can try with it is the Surface which is what it was made for lol Although if it's no different than most of the TPU cases on the market I'm sure it will fit fine.

Otterbox defender vs ttrident kraken ams

So now that both companies have released both specs of the ultra rugged cases, with Trident dishing out their product first, i want to find out you guys opinion on which is do you think is better? or which do you prefer?
I already ordered a green Trident Kraken AMS just waiting to get here so i can post my opinion and awaiting the release of the Otterbox Defender for the SGN to compare the two.

I like the Kraken AMS more because it has a kickstand and supports optional mounts and accessories. I think of it as a better version of Otterbox Defender for a price of Otterbox Commuter.

Kraken ams is very nice. Otterbox cost too much!
I bought this for me and happy with it.

even i m confused now
i have u used otterbox commuter series for n8 but wanna try defender
i think kraken ams is nice compare to otterbox

Where did you ordered the kraken? Trident website only have the aegis case for the note.

Defender is always worth it imo. But i lost my hd2with its stupid belt clip. Never will i trust a belt clip again.

Case with holster (sorry for another case thread)

Hey everyone,
I am looking for some feedback on this case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390492036942?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Or point me in a direction of someone who make a case with a holster. I really like the UAG case but I don't want a case and then buy an even bigger holster to put the phone on my side.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you

imo dont expect top notch quality with those china items.. the Ballistic SG series has holster, the OB defender (imo its ugly) lol..

http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case
I have been through about 6 cases.
I wanted full coverage with a holster. Sadly most cases that offer decent protection add a ton of bulk.
This Ballistic case adds very little bulk. Your phone still feels slim and comfortable. The Otterbox adds way too much bulk and the built-in screen protector is garbage. The Ballistic screen protector is a separate piece and can be left out. It is still not the clearest.
If you want options in a case then go with this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4ssgs3.htm
It has a hard shell for everyday. Then a silicon surround and plastic exo skeleton.

I wonder if the ballistic sg (NOT MAXX series) fits in the sg maxx holster? the sg is less bulky than the sg maxx

If you want a great case definitely go with any Seidio case, plus there holsters are top notch and very sturdy! I'm using this one http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-surface-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgs3-bk.htm and I got it off Amazon for $12 shipped for the case and holster. It barely feels like there is even a case on the phone. I've been using Seidio cases and clips since my old treo pro.

The GS3 otter box defender holster looks to have the same sort of phone-side clip as the incredible s does. It's incredibly fragile and will break off if you look at it funny. I went though 3 of the holsters in a matter of months (their warranty service is top notch at least) before giving up on it and using a commuter case with a pouch holster until I replaced that phone.
I just ordered a seidio extended battery and one of their active cases, so I'll give my opinion of it when it arrives. The clip is an entirely different design.

yeah i read about the fragile clip and about the rubber getting loose in few weeks. Thats the reason i asked for a refund from the seller on ebay. He gave me a full refund, and the next thing I know a week later i received the case in the mail lol.. so got it free basically. Lack of communication on their end i guess. But overall I dont like the case much. I would give the ballistic a try.

Does anyone know if the BALLISTIC SHELL GEL (SG) SERIES will fit in the Maxx holster for $70?

Ok well I am going to order the one from ebay and will take the $4 loss instead of spending $70 for a case and holder....if the ebay one is crap I am going to go with the UAG.
Thanks for the help I guess there is not that much demand for a case and holster together....
