Update on the Trident case situation. (good news and bad news) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Bad news.
we have been put off untill "mid-december/right in time for christmas" some of you already knew this.
GOOOOD NEWS!
Originally we were only supposed to get the ageis case, BUT according to tridents facebook page we will also be getting their....... KRAKEN A.M.S!
this info was just released on their fb page Wednesday.
Trident Case:
"Originally, the Kraken AMS for the T989 was designed for Japan/Europe and AT&T devices only but we revamped it to fit the T-mobile version as well. The release dates are targeted more than likely to be accurate. Although, some products do hit a slight delay depending if the production went smoothly or not. As far as we know, mid December is the target date and we'll inform you once it arrives."
Wednesday at 7:58pm ยท Like
Also trident is running a 25% coupon from now until January 9th using the code "holiday2011"

I don't see it on there fb page.

Great News!!!!!!!

Great news. I'm still waiting for a good kickstand case. Case mate has been taking forever to finish their tmo version.

I am not entirely sure about this so don't quote me on it... however it looks like the kraken ams case for our phone wont have a built in screen protector. Which is fine by me, I'm jot to fond of them.
I am saying this based on the other non-iphone kraken ams cases I have seen so far, they don't have them either

Even greater news for me. Because I prefer not having a built in screen protector...I'd rather use a brand I've grown accustomed to or feels better to my touch.

Why can't we use the sprint version of the case? What is different about it?

Damn, I want a built in protector. Guess I have no options now.

Bad news.... we will not be getting the Kraken A.M.S. Case posted by trident on thief Facebook page

Lame! Casemate is still taking forever to release our cases too. I've never used a smartphone for so long without a decent case.

This is supposed to be a flagship phone and yet it has no support.
I'll probably sell mine and get an iphone.

Hi everyone. Looks like the cases are available. Maybe this is already known.
Check out the "tridenteer" site.
And the "holiday2011" promo code is still working, my total was $22.xx. Free shipping as well.

Bummer, only the Aegis case. No Kraken as I guess we already knew. We really need a kickstand case, so the Aegis is no good to us.

[VIDEO]ET4G White Casemate with kickstand review

Hey everyone picked this case up at Sprint store today for my ET4G and made a video with the good old Nexus S 4g. Here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOYXD8OTSA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I really like that! Nice case! Wonder of they have it online yet.
Sweet im getting one tomorrow.
its a pop case i love them not as much protection as the tough cases but nice non of my store have them and there not on the site
My store just got them we only ordered 2 we didnt know what they looked like but it is nice the kickstand is a little flimsy but all in all best I have seen there are not many out yet.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
well i thank you for posting atleast we know they are coming now i want protection for my 600 phone lol im sure they will come out with a case mate tough since there is a pop case i work ut and run with my phone so the protection is needed
That looks pretty bulky.. how does it feel in your hand
?
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
I can't say say from this phone but the pop cases don't add much its like a speck candy shell but thinner to me its thinner then some of the thicker silicone and tpu cases but then again I like the casemate touch cases so thickness is nothing to me
It feels nice the grip is nice to have on the sides and the lip on the front is nice incase you want to lay it on its face it will not scratch the screen.

Every white case I ever bought turned colors the more I use it...have you noticed this yet at all...I'm going to have to check back in a few weeks with you to see.
I had a Case-Mate Pop case for my Nexus S 4G, and while it looks really nice, I would still prefer a case that can be removed more easily.
It was a pain to take off the case and then put the phone back into it. Since I have a spare battery for the GS II, I can see this being a problem. At least for me.
But it is a good case =\
Kick stand is nice, but the kick stand on this one looks cheap and to me it looks like it would break easy. What are your thoughts on this OP?
the lady in sprint had ZERO idea when i asled her about the casemate products lol

Ok guys update so far so good took it camping fri and sat used it all weekend.....no visible discoloration on white shell....the kickstand to me is flimsy a bit does what it is supposed to do...I think the it will last just as long as you don't put pressure on top of the case itself.

**pics included** Black Cruzer Case on Amazon fits GSM perfect

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.
Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone
I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.
the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me
the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:
Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.
Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).
dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.
Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.
Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.
Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

Try the otterbox commuter case with mime ghost glass. I love the combo, not very bulky and superior protection :good:
Does the defender (since we are talking about bulky cases) have the same issue with the silicon coming loose over time like on the sgs3

Had on on a S3 now have one for the One using the MIME glass instead of the included plastic screen protector. Works great and no problem with pockets.
