Trident Kraken A.M.S. or Otterbox Defender

Kraken or Otterbox? Which of the two is better? I really like both cases, and I've heard good and bad things about both. I would appreciate any input, especially of you own/have owned either cases.

I like the look of otterbox better, but tridant has the kick stand...so depends on what you think you'd use more. I had an otterbox on my phone for a while but realized the bulk was too much since I baby my phone. I'm sure same would be for the trident. If you drop ur phone a lot or do a lot of hiking with it, bulk it up....but otherwise it really takes away from the slim design.

I haven't seen an AMS until now, ordered mine. 34.95 on amazon.

I have the otterbox defender case. The back of my holster clip locks in so it can be a kickstand. Its very bulky but it works.

I have the trident aegis. With trident cases, the plastic is on top of the silicone when you put it on, with silicone sticking out on the corners. That way, the silicone doesn't easily stretch like it does on the otterbox. Especially if you take off your case on a regular basis. I have the defender for my ipod touch, and I've used it on other devices as well. In my opinion, the screen protector is horrible as well. The worst I've ever used(yes its worse than those cheap ones you can get off ebay in a 3 pack for 3 dollars). Trident cases also have dust covers over the mic and speaker grill, whereas the otterbox does not. So I say go with the Kraken. It would be worth it.

Thanks. I decided to but the Otter from BestBuy, and also order the Kraken online to try both out when the Kraken gets here. The first day with the Otter was terrible with the screen protector, but now it's a lot better, since I guess it either stuck to my screen better, or O got used to it. Does anyone know the quality of the built in protector for he Kraken? And also, one last thing, if I were to drop the Kraken, since the outside is; plastic, how durable is that plastic. Because the thing I like the most is he outside rubber for the Otter.

Just got my Kraken today, absolutely love it. As for the screen protector, I threw it away, didn't even bother with it. I've had ghost Armor on all of my phones as well as my wife's phone, I get a new one put on once a month and have never had a problem. The plastic around the Kraken is very durable and wouldn't be worried if I drop the phone. I'm coming from an Aegis, a lot better protection and I've owned otterboxes before, Kraken from here on out for me.

i just got this case a few days ago and i like it so far. im coming from an otterbox, which i started to not like that much after the rubber outer layer began to get weak. im sure i could probably contact otterbox about it and they would likely send another one. but i wanted to give the kraken a shot since i really like the aegis and my only contention with it was that there was no kickstand or belt clip. i have to get used to the texture, hard and a lil slippery is much different from the otterbox's soft grippy exterior...but not a downer by any means. also, i found the screen protector to be decent and actually a welcome edition. i was ready to go without it or use a Realook screen saver that i have, but the one that comes with the Kraken is nice and im not having an issue with it at all.
one issue i do have with the Kraken is that they didn't design it with a hole for the indicator light (top right). i actually use mine and when im doing in the field and my phone is on silent. so that would be a good thing to adjust if they can for future designs.

Be different, go trident... I see too many otterboxs.. Mostly on iphones though

Otterbox Commuter vs Seidio Active (with metal kickstand)

I'm contemplating getting one of these cases and was wondering if any of you guys had them and what you thought of them so I can get a good idea of which one to order. Thanks

I've had both (Although I had the Commuter for my old LG Optimus One) and I currently have the Seidio Active (Without the kickstand) and the Seidio Active is much much better. The silicone and plastic is much higher quality and it doesn't lose it's shape like most Otterboxes too. The only upside with buying the Otterbox is that is comes with a screen protector (A pretty crappy one anyway) and that's about it. The Seidio case is much better.

By the way does the case get a lot of lint on it and does it get stuck inside pockets and such that's my main concern lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The Seidio case picks up a little bit of lint, a LOT less than the Otterboxes do. Half the time for me it doesn't pick lint up but when it does it's barely noticeable and wipes off really easily. Can't same the same about the Otterbox though, I had a hell of a time with lint problems when I had one for my old phone.

Do yourself a favor and also check out the Trident Kraken(Excellent Video Review Here). It has an awesome kickstand, tons of accessories that can be bought(11 bucks for a windshield mount? DONE!) and you can take it out of the poly-carb box and use just the silicon sleeve when you don't need it. Plus from everything I read online, Trident offers far superior protection than SEIDO or Otterbox. And the rotatable belt clip is way better than a holster, to me anyway. Give it a look, love mine!
Also if you want slightly less protection(and thickness) consider the Trident Aegis.

Quit hatin' on the Commuter!

Of course the Trident Kraken offers superior protection when compared to the Seidio Active and Otterbox Commuter but it also adds a lot more bulk to your phone. (If you're ok with that, then go for the Kraken! It is the most protective case out of the three!).
And I wasn't hating on the Commuter, I was just stating what I had encountered when I had one with my old phone.

I decided to go with the Seidio Active case with the kickstand. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll update you guys on how it is.

Got the Seidio case in the mail today I love it but the only thing is that it doesn't have any opening for the 3 pin thing on the right side of the phone. I don't know if the Otterbox Commuter has an opening for it.

Yeah I don't plan to use them anyways but so far this case is very good but we'll see how it survives a fall which hopefully never happens
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Kraken does not have them either, nor does any high-protection case I have seen.

Would have to say the seidio active is my choice. After i tested it the hard way, due to me being sleep deprived. I was working inside my car engine bay and take off the phone due to getting in the way at times. I just so happened to forget it was in their and then started to drive away to get a drink. I finally realized what happen then went searching for it the case was scratch to heck, but the phone was safe

^ Mother of Buddha :-\
I have what I'm told is a Commuter for sale.. $20 shipped 405-259-2797

I like the little groove on my case from where the kickstand is too makes it feel nice when you hold the phone.

The case I am currently using for my T989 is the Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case. I'll be posting a review and pictures of it soon.

I got the Diztronic and it's awesome.

My favorite case by far, is this black TPU gel case. It's super slim too, and slides into my pocket. :good:

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:

I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.

The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.

I am currently using ballistic SG maxx and it doesn't protect from dust

lifeproof said the same thing via facebook that they won't offer a nexus 5 case

I own both the Trident Aegis case and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases. I prefer the Ballistic SG Maxx! The Trident case is a beauty for sure no doubt there but, I found it too slippery to use. It was slippery in the hand an caused me to almost drop it a few times. Unacceptable! Also the bottom edge (where the speakers are) is slippery so you cant rest the edge on a table and balance it on your hand. Unacceptable too! I've had Trident cases for other phones and they have always been great. The build quality is awesome and it looks very nice. The speakers have dust screens on the Trident case which is a feature I was looking for but, the cutouts are too small and the sound gets muffled. Both the Trident Aegis and the Ballistic SG Maxx cases have port covers/plugs The only thing that the Trident case has that the Ballistic SG Maxx doesn't, is the dust screen filters for the speakers. I haven't had a problem with dust using the Ballistic case because it any dust tends to be more attracted to the rubber than getting in the speaker ports. The Ballistic SG Maxx case is really nice and offers a lot more protection than the Trident Aegis case. I wish Trident would come out with a Cyclops or Kracken case I am sure I'd be happy with either of those (if they were not slippery). For now though I will continue to use the Ballistic SG Maxx case be cause of the unmatched protection it offers from drops (already survived a 5 foot drop) and it's not slippery. I'm quite happy with my Ballistic case and I can not say that about the Trident one. I highly recommend the Ballistic SG Maxx and in my opinion its the best case available for the Nexus 5.

Unfortunately, Otterbox has no interest in making more money or caring about their (ex) customers, so they don't make cases for Nexus devices.
I have the SG Maxx like you, and the only way to solve the dust under screen protector issue that I've found is to install a different screen protector. Just be careful so the sides of the Maxx don't push up off the screen the sides of the screen protector.

What about the Seidio CONVERT Combo?
