Glad your phone is safe and working good so you can thread crap with it.
Thanks OP, I've been waiting for this case for a while. I have the ballistic now and the cyclops...I may end up with this Kraken now...hmmmmm

Wow, that's a really ugly case... I like it!

It is pretty ridiculously shaped, but does look like it would protect well.
The red one has a nice scheme to it.

It really does.

that thinking is huge!
i guess if I was going into some rough area.. battle.. mosh pit...
that is the case to get.
other wise.. i would not want for daily use.

You can use this case to smash lesser phones with. If i didn't already own a ballistic and seidio rugged i'd give this one a whirl

Picked mine up from here:
http://www.handhelditems.com/trident-cases-kraken-series-p-158099.html

Total cost was $26.80 including shipping. Not a bad deal!

I bought one waiting for it to arrive

Does anybody know if I can fit an extended battery, either a 2600 or 3500 seidio in this case some way.

My girlfriend wanted to wait for a pink ballistic but dosent seem like its gona happen anytime soon. How is this case compared to ballistic she likes the pink one

I got my kraken today switched from the defender..seems thinner as a whole, but the sides are a little thicker instead of rounded.

Love the case switching from a sedio active case that took some damage after a fall lol. This is a little bigger but much more stylish and offers more protection. Cyanogen mod + blue case + cyanbread theme = matching phone and case. Sick

I dont like silicone outer cases. Id rather have the inner silicone outer hard plastic. Slips nicer into the pocket that way

The problem is in the event of a drop those hard exterior cases chip or crack. The kraken does have a mix of hard spots and silicon and pocketing my phone hasn't been an issue.

IMAK Raindrop case review *video* *pictures*

Great looking case, does little for actually protecting the phone though! Link

looks crazy as if there's actual water on it.
I'd get this case if it was in a solid color I'm looking for a really slim profile case like this one that's not too expensive.

The water droplets look very realistic and that's really cool. How's the grip? Does it feel slippery and erm.. plastic-like? lol
I'm thinking of getting the blue or the red one.

The grip is good, the bumps help a lot with it! It's not as grippy as a tpu case though. It's not slippy, but you can tell it's plastic!

I've had mixed experiences with obostore, sometimes it comes in a week or two, sometimes over a month, I'd just sit tight and if it hasn't come within two months send them an email asking what's up!

Cruzerlite TPU Androidified REVIEW

Hey guys,
So Im fully migrated and with lots of cases to review. Im gonna start the serie with the Cruzerlite androidified. This case is one of my favorite ones (next to the diztronic) Its a perfect match between budget and looks. ITs thin, has the android in the back and gives good protection.
Here it is guys!
http://youtu.be/1RxYErG50A0

i also love this case... fits very snug

i just got mine today, anyone else have the holes slightly off?

Thanks for the video review. The sides look a little flimsy though. I still will probably buy one just because it has Andy the Android on it

No. You just need to fiddle with the case until everything lines up. There's a certain way to put on right.

This.
When i first got mine i thought it didnt quite line up right, but then i figured out how to put it on right.
Dont start with a corner, start at the top or bottom and line up the mic hole. The other end will line itself up.
The fit really is perfect.

exactly, Its all about moving the case, Remember it is a tpu case therefore u can manipulate it a little bit. Dont get me wrong I thought the same thing, however after playing with it a little, it is just user error until placed correctly

Both the Cruzerlite and Amazon say that the cases are for the international version i9100. Can someone confirm if they fit the Tmobile T999? Thanks.

All Galaxy SIII are exactly the same physically. All cases and accessories ate interchangeable.

Btw - if you can't stand to look at the splotchy parts on the back of the translucent cruzerlites where it sticks to the phone, I followed another's recommendation by smearing a tiny bit of baby talcum powder inside the case, and it seems to work.
Maybe this is something cruzerlite could do at the factory? Talcum powder is a 1 on the mohs scale of hardness, so it's not an abrasive.

Damn, that's a good idea. I just tossed the cruzerlite to the side and got a speck case. I am going to have to try that. I like switching up cases every couple of weeks.

Pretty nice!
I just got mine today from Amazon.
Initials impressions is that it is quite nice. It fits pretty snug and looks nice on the phone. Especially if you like Andy the android. It is way easier to hold my phone now, especially with the side grips. I much prefer this soft TPU feel than to the hard plastic. There is a nice quality feel to the material.
My only complaint is the same as the users above me mentioned, the splotchy wet look on the back. Easily overcome with the talcum powder suggestion. Thanks zmore! Good looking out :highfive:
Phone is still quite thin after it is on. All in all, good buy, I highly recommend!
Now, back to flashing!

do you have any pictures

I had the same problem with the cutouts, but you can move it enough to line them up more or less. The cutouts are so big, they do not feel precision cut at all.
I imagine the talc trick would also make the case easier to move on the phone.
Not great with invisible shields as the case can pull up the edges due to the tight fit.
Overall, great for 10 bucks though.

Actually, Amazon has some decent pictures up on their site.
Sorry, I can't post a link since I have so few posts. But if my attachments come through, there are a couple pictures.

Let there be bumpers

Anyone know if there is a chance of getting bumpers made for the One? This phone looks too good to cover up but it would be nice to have minimal protection.

I would expect to see the Poetic Borderline from Poetic. They had it for the N4.

Wow those are new to me, very slick.

The poetic borderline and atmosphere cases are under $10 on Amazon

surely those will look stupid with the phone's curved back?? :s

The borderline case looks a bit "stupid," especially on the top and bottom. The atmosphere in the other hand, actually looks really good. So good, I already ordered one.

hmm thats certainly a much more attractive option.
is the back just clear plastic though? why is the upper right one larger, there's a microphone there isnt there?
the only things that put me off getting a case is that a) the device gets bigger and b) it no longer fits into docks etc.

Case is completely clear except for the sides. And great the hole on the top right is bigger because if the Mic. As far as adding bulk, the case not as thick as you might think. I've seen these cases on the iPhone and it looks really good. I like the fact that its clear and the look of the phone is retained. Personally I just use a case when I'm not home or at work.

If you were to accidentally drop the phone while it had one of those Poetic Borderline cases on it, and it landed flat on its back, would the first thing to hit the floor be part of the bumper or part of the phone?

Of course bumper, check the design you'll see it clearly.
Bumper cases are nice but HTC's own flip case will look classy.

dont be so sure about the flip case
first impressions from those who have them are bad - shame really as I am getting one for free and the stand aspect is really nice.
ill be going with my usual very low profile case w/ screen protector combo and then after maybe 6 months take the case off!

The flip case will serve a purpose but I wouldn't have it for everyday use, its basically thick card with microfibre lining.

I've posted a few pics of the HTC Flip case

It's anything but clear in the photos that I've seen. On most phones bumpers certainly will protect the phone if it's dropped on its back, but most phones don't have anywhere near as much curvature on the back of the case as the One has - a bumper would have to stick out a long way at the edge in order to protect the middle.

Nilkin Cases Love these look awesome

I have these on my Nexus 4 and they rock feel and look awesome. Just order them for my HTC one. will report back. Usually about 1 or 2 weeks shipping.

I've got one and it is great. Nice fit and finish, offer side and back protection which is all I car about. Feels good in hand too.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!

is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?

Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.
