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.
Hey guys,
I am looking into buying a case now, and after looking through some threads here, I think I will pick one of these three:
Diztronic TPU case: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Protector-International-Packaging/dp/B0089F49P0/ref=?ie=UTF8&m=A2HOCXU5SC35JO
Ringke Slim Lite: http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_slim_lite_kit
Incipio Silicrylic: http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-SA-302-Silicrylic-Silicone-Samsung/dp/B0085VAP38/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1342098764&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+incipio
The most important thing for a case to me is drop protection, followed by thinness.
I have heard good things about all these cases, so I feel that I can't go wrong, but I'm having a hard time choosing.
Also, if you know of any other cases that you really like and offer good drop protection.. let me know
Edit: Looks like I'll go with the Incipio.. Thanks for the replies

If drop protection is top on you list then take the Rearth off the list. TPU is quite hard when compared to silicone, in a drop test the Silicrylic case will not doubt be much better.

+1 I currently use the Ringke but only because it's thin and provides enough protection to prevent scratches while still preserving the beauty of the device. I also have the Diztronic tpu and it should provide enough protection for low drops.

My silicrylic and my gs3 both showed up yesterday.
The case is very nice and definitely offers drop protection. The silicone doesn't seem to attract dust and lint like I thought it would.
I used to have a seidio active on my evo 3d which is the same type of case, so I thought I knew what to expect. I have to say though the incipio case is much nicer than the seidio case was. It is very sleek for what it is and the silicone isn't at all tacky like the seidio case was. It is very smooth and slides in and out of a pocket very nicely.
The all black looks nice on my blue gs3 too which is great.
I basically bought this case for times I may want a little extra protection, but I am so happy with it I think I will use it as my primary case. Fyi I ordered from Amazon and it only cost me $17 shipped.
I'm liking that incipio
I have this casemate one because it was all I could find the second day I had the phone. They come in all black now
Definitely buy the Incipio Silicrylic.
I have actually bought all 3 types of cases for my S3 that you listed in your OP, so my opinion matters more than these other guys! j/k -- 1) TPU (Cruzerlite ($10); similar to Diztronic and $1 versions on ebay); 2) Hard polycarb shell (Rock Quicksand ($10); similar to rinke); 3) Hybrid (Incipio ($18)).
After trying all the cases on, I can only recommend the Incipio if you care anything at all about protecting your phone, while looking good, and without adding as much bulk as an otterbox. The Incipio's Silicone sides and the hard case itself is also grippier than the others, and doesn't attract lint at all like my $0.99 silicone lint magnet on my old Captivate.
(Throw the screen protector that comes with the Incipio away, though. Crap quality)
I have the incipio and like it a lot...tried a letterbox commuter but took it back because I liked the incipio that much better...

Another vote for incipio :good:
I dunno, if thinness is number 2 you should stay far away from the incipio. It is definitely a fatty.
I say just suck it up and get the ringke or diztronic and just be more careful.
Look no further!!!
Seriously... you should +1 this ish.

The Incipio is an excellent choice. I bought all three and find the Incipio to be far superior, mostly due to protection capabilities.

I love my Incipio Silicrylic White/Gray case, but I just ordered an Otterbox Defender for the times when I feel I need a little added protection.
The only thing I don't like about the Incipio Silicrylic is that it doesn't have quite as much grip on the hard shell as I expected it to. Otherwise, it looks great, seems to protect well (though I haven't dropped it yet, and don't plan to), and doesn't gather lint.
If I wasn't so afraid of the phone slipping out of my pocket, like my iPod does all the time, I wouldn't even use a case.
But, a good case is a lot cheaper than total protection insurance. It costs more over the course of 2 years with deductible than I originally paid for the phone with contract. An an Otterbox Defender only costs $30-$50.
My vote is for the incipio
If you don't mind the extra bulk and want the peace of mind stick with the defender. The bulk is not bad, and it makes the phone feel like it's made of more premium material, I own it and it's great!

Get the Incipio. The Otterbox and Trident cases can withstand more torture but let's be honest here. Going with one of them turns a beautiful phone into one ugly ass crack whore.

Hi guys,
I bought the galaxy nexus.
since i'm in the millitary I want to protect the phone perfectly and I though about the otterbox defender.
BUT I've seen on youtube a video that shows how the case scratchs the top of the device,the bottom and around the front camera.
I wanted to know if there is someone here has the case and could recommend me buying this or not.
thanks
Because the defender's inner frame is hard plastic, debris like sand and dust can become lodged between the frame and the device, causing scratches.
The otter box commuter has a silicon inner layer, and won't have this issue.
If you want a case LIKE the defender, maybe the trident krakken case will work? Its very similar to the defender.

but the commuter doesnt protect the screen..:/
I bought a OtterBox Defender based on my good experiences with OtterBoxes for iPhone.2 weeks into owning the case,I decided to remove it and found that a lot of dust got accumulated in the the case and the phone was scratched at the top.Not only that,I found out that the plastic frame of the screenguard had broken on one side.I'd advise you to not buy the Defender,instead something like the Trident Kraken.

That ballistic shell case looks pretty good.The Seidio Active is another great case( http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-active-case-black-p/csk3ssgnlk-bk.htm).I haven't used it though.
Thanks for this thread. I was going to buy one as I do for all of my phones. Bet I've owned six defender cases.
After reading this and the reviews on otterbox.com I think I'll buy a trident case.
I had a ballistic on the infuse I had. Was a nice case.

I used the ballistic sg case on my gs2, and my Galaxy Nexus. I was happy with the case. I decided to slim down, so I went with a tpu case.

Balistic cases dont have the port covers, which is a must for me.
The Defender was my first case, I was told in the VZW store that it might scratch the phone due to trapped dust, but it was better than nothing on day 1. I liked it alright but after a few months the clips started breaking, I bought the Kraken as a replacement.
The Kraken is an alright case, a little bulkier than the defender. I liked that it offered the same protection as the Defender, I disliked how the front LED was half covered. In the end - it was too bulky for me to keep it on forever, I would still use it if I wanted some super extra duty protection.
So I got the Commuter, I have had Commuters for my Captivate and Atrix so I am familiar with their design and function. The gnex Commuter is the same as past Commuters, if you've had one before you know how it works. (This is not true for the Defender) I've had the Commuter on for the past 6-8 months and will not be switching again. It DOES protect the screen to an extent, I have dropped my phone allot and there are no blemishes on the phone or screen or Commuter. I do have a Zagg applied, not the protector that comes with the OB. If I had it to do over I would have bought the commuter first and it would have been the only case I needed. It offers plenty of protection with minimal bulk.
Anyone know of any good cases that are similar to this?
I have the Trident Aegis and Casemate Tough. Both great cases but I use the Casemate more often.
Thanks! Looked at the Casemate and seem to be expensive for my wallet. I went ahead and bought this http://www.cyclopscase.com/kraken-a...-s-ii-epic-4g-touch-sph-d710-ballistic-green/
The Trident Kraken is a nice case more similar to the Otterbox Defender than the Commuter due to its bulk. Its a good case but a bit large for my taste.
I just found out I'm getting a free Otterbox thru work later this week, not sure what case they got me though. You can never have too many cases
I used to be an otterbox fan, just ordered an aegis case for pretty cheap off eBay. Screen protector included I've used them they're pretty good. Any other recommendations besides otterbox and that other cheap 5 buck brand lol.

UAG case directly from the site. I have the aero and I love it, it's mildly protective but not as protective as otterbox. This is for everyday wear and tear with the occasional 7 foot drop. At the same time, it maintains a heck load of style.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
