Trident Cyclops or otterbox defender

I've had a Seido Innocase II and I loved until it broke and paint started to chip. Now im looking for a heavy duty case, I looked at the ballistic HC case but heard bad things. I don't want to have to buy multiple cases just want one last purchase

I have both, the Cyclops is a FAR better case. The Defender is one of the crappiest cases that I have ever used for any phone. The Cyclops on the other hand, is awesome. Trident also has that Kraken case that looks pretty cool, I thinking about ordering it.

Well the 2 arent in the same category really. The Cyclops is comparable to the Otterbox Commuter, and the Kraken is comparable to the Defender. I've owned all 4. For me, the Cyclops wins hands down. I love the $10 holster they sell for it, and its pretty cool to be able to change the outside silicone to any one of 10 colors. I'm rocking a black/grey/ballistic green combo. looks awesome!
edit: I've also owned the Ballistic. Great case but its a TANK. Unless you work on utility poles for a living, the Cyclops is fine.
edit2: you might want to consider the Seidio Rugged (aka Platinum) since this retailer has it for $7.95!!! http://www.emtcompany.com/platinum-series-case-for-htc-evo-mobile-phones/1003917.html its $50 a best buy.

Otterbox has UNBELIEVABLE customer service though... never used the other cases but nice thing about otterbox is if anything does go wrong with the case they replace it fast no bs, 5 minute phone call and a new case is in the mail. ive always been impressed with how easy they make it and that they even guarantee a cell phone case.

I like the case from ballistic. I've gone from the seidio active, to the otterbox defender and finally the ballistic. It looks great and iso definitely a tank. I'm in construction and it's definitely taken it's share of lumps but is still going strong and scratch free.

I love my otterbox defender, only thing I dont like about it is the silicone picks up pocket lint like crazy. But it is a very durable case.

just bought the Trident Kraken for my EVO...right now I have the Otterbox defender, which I do like but it is a bit bulky, so we will see how it works out.

Trident Kraken now out!

The kraken series for the TB is shipping now in red and pink!

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

Tired a few, but the best (that I like anyways) are the TPU fusion cases

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,

PureGear PX260 Case

How is this case If I compare it with Commuter, Aegis and Ballistic SG protection wise ??
http://www.pure-gear.com/px260-protection-system-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-collection.html
Video:

That's a pretty nice looking case.
With the added bulk though, you would think they might have been able to fit a kickstand in there.

cool case... nice price.

Yea it looks nice ! But the lip over the screen is less compared to other cases I mentioned here... So in case of fall would this protect the screen ??
I'm having hard time deciding between these cases, and they aint cheap here at ~ 60$ ...

I wouldn't recommend this case, can't speak for the other two.

Okay, thanks...

I was looking at this case and I didn't know what to think at first but after that video it's a sure buy for me. I found one with free shipping on eBay for $30!
ebay(DOT)com/itm/320960236399
That's a nice deal to me.

Thinnest case!

Whats the thinnest case for gnex besides the ringk rearth case.. $25 beans is to much for a case thats not gonna protect the phone much...

was just about to start a thread on this!
I bought the Ringke for $25.99, let's see how it goes.
I googled for thin cases and came up with this 0.4mm case (there was another eBay link but seems like the seller's closed his store):
http://www.cell-phone-home.com/tran...ng-galaxy-nexus-i9250-p-876.html#.UFrBufFODJU
$10.99 with free international shipping
Will update on how it fits compared to the Ringke, when it arrives.

SGP Ultra Hybrid. thinnest case.

I've dropped my phone with the ringke on and my phone is completely fine. If you're the extra clumsy type than I don't think you should be looking for the "thinnest case". The ringke protects in all the right areas.
