Trident Kraken pictorial - Galaxy S III Accessories

ok, so im no photographer, but hopefully these pics will give you guys some idea of how this case fits and look on our phone. this is not professional review, so judge for yourself and decide if you think this case suits your needs. just for reference, i have a nano optics screen protector on right now

i personally prefer the otterbox. the built in screen protector, solid build and clean look won me over. for me the kraken looks too "industrial", has no built in screen protector and the silicone insert felt flimsy and didnt cover as much of the bezel as i wouldve liked. the kickstand and speaker covers are a nice touch, but not enough for this case to be my every day case. just my .02 :good:

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
Sorry just had to and mine is on the way. I'll post pics of the green when I get it.

Funny, everytime I see the this case I think of that darn film too... an elemental beast.
Thanks mrmako777 for the pics. I was on the fence about this and the Otterbox but for some reason chose this. I prefer the phone sans protection but I have a feeling I'm going to be sorry if I don't find a good case.

Thanks for the pics. My green Kraken should be here any day now. Waiting for the camo otterbox defender to come out, then I'll compare em and see what I like better.

Thanks for the pics. They are much appreciated. Keep them pics rolling.

Thanks for the pics and review

I am probably going to order the Kraken anyway...I am not too happy with the Otterbox Defender...I just expected more, maybe too much hype?

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.

Opinion on cases?Silicone,TPU,hard,something else?

Hey there guys...i just ordered my s3 and i saw a few videos where the s3 screen breaks very easily!
I also read the silicone cases or the TPU ones provide excellent shock resistance so i'm thinking of buying one!
What do you think?Which case will provide more protection to my phones screen? (i'm only intrested on not breaking the screen,the scratches etc are lower priority...)
I also ordered an InvisibleShield not that it'll make much difference but i'm just sayin'...
For me.. Both!
There are some cases that has both soft (mostly tpu) and hard frames stacked together for better protection. I'm thinking getting SGP Neo Hybrid when it's released. I believe someone post this video somewhere. But, I couldn't find any image of it. I used it for my galaxy s2, and it was bomb.

Since I haven't met my 10 post count yet I can't link
I'm using one of the Rocks Sand series cases that I picked up locally for ~10 USD. Big fan of the texture, very easy to grip and it doesn't look bad at all with my pebble blue S3.
One of the biggest bonuses I think is that the headphone jack up top isn't obstructed as it was with some of the previous rubber cases I used with my S2. Headphones with right angle plugs had problems being inserted firmly.
I bought 3 ebay tpu cases for my galaxy s3 and they all have horrible fitment =(...stay away from them
Just got my first case. $5 and it feels like it. Very. Thin, has what appears to be decent grip on the side but hard to tell without the phone. I bought it for the kickstand but it feels pretty cheesy to say the least. It won't even hold itself straight up on its own. If it works well with the actual phone I'll take the time to update my feelings about it.

Next to the case i'm keeping UAG, in fact i'll be ordering the matte black as well. More Pic's of UAG case
Which case do you like better. I've eliminated all cases but these two. The Maxx has the edge though because of the holster.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This case felt good in my hand, the only negative thing I can say about this one, is that the silicone was a little big. If you take a look at the last two pictures, you can see that the phone has room to move. The first pic is w/ the phone pushed all the way up, and the following pic is w/ it pushed down... That's the only defect I saw.
Between the heftiest 3... Ballistic SG Maxx, Otterbox Defender, and Trident Kraken, I would recommend them in that order.
But not the UAG? Interesting...

The UAG is not a dual layer case like the sg maxx,otterbox,kraken. It's still a great case but it's one piece.

It's not a heavy duty case, IMO. It's the one I have chosen.

Is there a gap in between the screen and the lip when you removed the screen cover? Would a self-adheseive film make up the gap? How are the port covers, do they open by them selves like some otterbox cases in the past?

Clear back & grippy case

I have a custom skin on the back of my phone and am looking for a case that has a completely clear back but perhaps tpu sides or bumper to have some grip. Anyone have ideas? I can't find any

Even yesterday i did a massive search on ebay for S3 cases. Went over 50 pages with 200 hits each. I can't tell you specifically where but i can tell you there're definitly cases like the ones you want there. Seen plenty of clear ones hard and soft sillicone, maybe there's one you'd like.
Hmm...I was hoping for a clear solid back to protect it as well. Most of them have a frosted back ;___;
i hate to have a thicker device, but the bumper has already protected my device 3 times from getting serously damaged.

Look at Tech21, they have a bumper/clear back that sounds like what you are looking for.
for a quickie five below stores have S3 cases including a tpu case with a rigid mostly transparent back which would "show off" custom backs quite nicely. REALLY good fit and quality for $5 review coming soon.

I'll pass on the alumnium since I hear aluminum reduces radio strength. Thanks though!

trying to find the ultimate case.

am trying to get the best protection . for my GS3 . i had the obex great protection but made my phone sound like ****. looking at the griffin, box ballistic HC which i had on my EVO. or maybr wait for the lifebox?
I'm a huge fan of the casemate phantom.
Ive heard u can take off the "membrane" covering the speaker on the obex case
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
cases
Try out the otterbox or Kayscase. Otterbox has more protection, larger and more expensive while kayscase makes ones that are slimmer and cheaper.
The Griffin Survivor suffers from some sounds issues. I took the membrane out over the speaker, problem solved.
Other then that it's a great case, I gladly demo the drop protection by throwing and dropping for the heck of it.

if you're looking for a protective case with delicate design, a good try on DSstyles. The cases from them work well for my S3 so far.

Otterbox Defender
I really like my otterbox defender. Very sturdy skeleton includes a durable screen protector similar to like gumdrop cases and shock absorber for the back. the rubber outside is nice to grip and its not the silicone stuff that attracts dust and hair like some do. a little pricey but worth it if you're clumsy like me. also comes in dozens of colors.
SPIGEN have a nice case for S3, little pricey tho
