About the new Trident Aegis Case for Nexus 5. Owners comments? - Nexus 5 Accessories

It's been released. The answer to some Nexus 5 owners on what is the best case for it. Some of us are wanting to press the "buy" button on their site, but we are undecided. If you own a Trident Aegis Case, could you give us your opinion on whether 35 dollars was worth it? What is good, what is bad about it. Too slippery? What about the included screen protector. Give everything you have to say. Thank you for your time.

I would definitely like to know as well. I like the look of the case.

I know everyone will have their opinion on the case. Personally, I like it a lot. It looks good, fits good, and isn't slippery. I gave up on plastic screen protectors long ago, so I won't be using the included screen protector. It's comparable to the Otterbox Commuter, and I'd have to say the Trident seems better made than any Otterbox I've owned on any phone. I'd say it's worth the money. I don't think cases should really be that expensive, but given the competition, it's well worth it.

I posted a couple in this other thread. They turned out looking like the case was gray/black but I have the all-black one.

I would say refer here for all the information your wanting, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619821&page=4.
I will answer your question here though. Is it worth $35? Hard for me to say still, I mean the product is very durable and is working well right now. As for it being slippery, yes, very yes, due to the main back of the case being plastic. Like I said, hard for me to say still but I don't regret spending the $35 on it.

Will this fit with a tempered glass screen protector?

Its a huge case, happy with my spigen thanks

What does it mean good for 26 drops from 4 feet? Would it break on the 27th?

I ended up buying a spigen but the trident customer service was very helpful and confirmed that the aegis will fit with a tempered glass protector.

Yes, except there a little different. the designs are very similar though.
Armor Case is made by chinese manufacturers but they are available in alot more colors than what Otterbox offers.
the holster and design of the case are nearly identical to the Defender case
Here's all the cases (nearly all of them anyway) all on one site.

I personally love my black aegis case
I got a Body Glove off Amazon for $12. Very happy with it. Good compromise between bulk and protection. That, and a pack of 5 screen protectors for $6-7.
I used to have a trident case on my EVO smaller than otterbox and still very protective and also had pet screen, it was perfect, I read on another thread, their website just started making them for the thunderbolt. That's what I'm gonna order for my next case.

Looks just like an Otterbox! Wow...ordering now to test the build quality.
Seidio........ awesome cases..... 3 different options, Surface, Active, Convert
When I use a case, I just use the quick snap on Seidio case. Seems to do the trick.

I was thinking about doing the same thing. I looked around for reviews on these, but could not find any. Can you check back when you get it and let us know what you think?? Thanks
Yea, I'll post a pic review of the case. For only 13.57 + shipping for a essentially a Otterbox without the logo on the back is pretty good if you ask me.... Ill be getting it in in about 5 days.

Acase Superleggera Pro case review

So like many others who have been waiting for their GS3 to be delivered to their front door steps here in the USA, I've been buying cases so I'd be ready to go from the start. My plan is buy a variety of cheap cases and bumpers to see how they feel in my wee bitty hands. So here is my review of a case worth reviewing. I haven't seen anyone mention this case so I apologize if I'm duplicating something that's already been said.
I picked up this case on Amazon for a little over $12 after shipping costs. It appeared to be marked down from $30 without shipping so I figured It was a steal. So far, I was right. It's size is very slim for a duel layer case. While it does make the phone bigger, it's not too big for my girl hands. It actually makes the phone feel a little better and comfortable in the hand.
The texture of both layers have a nice grip and feel. The matte black hard shell has a soft feel that blends well with the feel of the silicone core.
So far the hardshell has been smudge resistant and I have a good feeling scratch resistant but only time and use will tell on that part. The silicone core appear to be lint resistant, if that's even possible, compared to my Seidio Active case on my Rezound (great case by the way) that collected light to moderate pocket lint.
The case also provides a nice lip around the screen to protect it. The best part of the lip is that it doesn't get in the way of using the phone. It occupies just the right amount of real estate.
Buttons work like the real buttons. No issues with them working properly or having to apply extra pressure.
Summary: I love this case. It's solid, feels great, and was purchased at a great price.

It's actually a $40 case that I got for $12 (price went up already on the black to $12 + s/h) .......I can handle the tiny logo, and if not, I'll get out a black marker.
They have some other colors that are cheaper than the black now. Thinking about picking up a blue one.

Anyone else using this case?
I want to know other users opinion about this case compared to the following cases:
1. Otterbox commuter
2. Incipio Silicrylic
3. Casemate Tough case
Ha! The thread lives! I can't believe more people aren't using this case or at least interested in the case. It's great and almost tripled in price since I first got it. Still cheap enough to equal a valuable purchase.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
I checked this on Amazon. All the ratings are either 4 star or 5 star. And there are 44 of them.
Does this means it is the best case for S3 or are they asking the buyers to give good ratings(I have heard some companies do so) ?

Few questions?
How is the back of the hard shell? is it very smooth so that it may slip away from your hand or table?
Also do you know whether it is of the same size and weight of Case mate Tough case?
I had one for my 3d, very nice case. The only reason I got rid of it was the need for a belt holster, but other than that it protected the phone very well and the rubber material did not stretch out or get flimsy.

It's smooth but I wouldn't say slippery. I've been very comfortable holding it without fear of dropping it.
I'm not familiar with the Casemate Tough but I do like it better than my Casemate Pop. The Pop! Case is very slick other than the grips on the side and it feels wider then the Acase.

Do you use a screen protector with your case? A lot of screen protectors that go all the way to the edge of the screen are having problems with a lot of cases. I am using a Zagg HD, and I wanted to know if this case would cause it to bubble up.
Just wanted to add my two cents. Got the case very fast from Amazon. Was worried it wouldn't come but then it was delivered even before my shipping confirmation.
Anyways on to the case. Very good feel too it, not as bulky as i was expecting but still feels secure. Been using it regularly since i got it. Fits well in the pocket and doesn't attract too much lint so far. For the price, highly recommend it

Hey I have the case and yeah you would have to use a screen protector that doesnt go to the edges I had a regular screen protector and the bottom would bubble up because of the case.
I bought this case when it was $6.05 on Amazon and I would pay the current price for it because it is worth it. This is a really good case. I just wish they had made it a holster case.
got my black one this morning and I have to say that it feels great in the hand and fits perfectly.
I previously had the trident aegis and Neo hybrid but hated both of them. this is so much better and half the price. I have the seidio active too which is great to watch things using the kickstand but as an everyday case this blitzes it!
thanks for answering my questions about this in another thread.

Speck candyshell vs. Urban armour gear

Debating between these two cases. anyone have/ had both and and prefer one over the other?
stock. sprint sgs3
Edit.. ive read the reviews and all the threads. Just looking for dirrect comparison off the two
I have the candy shell and oh man do i love this case. Makes it feel solid and really good in your hands. I highly recommend it but i have not tried the other case. Im not afraid to drop it and when i have it has help up great!
Thanks
stock. sprint sgs3
Never had candyshell but the new versions of the uag are nice! Im really liking the new tpu material they are using.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
I'm also looking at both of these too but I have to buy them over from the US seeing as no stores here stocking them
I owned the Candyshell and it was a good case overall. Solid, but more importantly for me was the awesome tactility the buttons had.
One problem was the black version of the Candyshell looked like crap after about a month, and that is no exaggeration. It scratched up REALLY easy...
Bugger and I wanted a black one too
I was waitting for Element to make a decent case out of those awesome materials they use but then they released a case out of TPU and I've waited far too long.
Looks like UAG it is
Did you consider the following alternative?
acase supperlegera pro dual layer case
Looks good, feel great and protects very nice. It's the one I have. Please read some reviews.
If it is between those two, I'd pick the puregear dualtek. It's 1 piece and very solid, and the white version doesn't get dirty like some white cases I've used.
i have both and the Speck crack on me for the 1st time taking it out the phone to switch to the UAG case, what a waste of money
Let me say this my uag has protected my phone from multiple drops from various heights and has handled my 270 pound friend trampling over it lol I recommend uag all day to people with gs3.

UAG is the best case I've ever owned in terms of durability to size. I've had cases that offer better protection but that extra protection came at the cost of greatly increased thickness.

Got rid of the Candyshell within 2 months, got the SGP bumper, it looks sexy but something about the buttons... after 2 months, i'm moving on to the UAG. If this doesn't satisfy my for awhile, i'll try out the Duratek.
Here is both of them, i would go with the UAG the Speck crack on me a hour later after i bought, while taking the phone out the case

As for the Speck, it was a known issue with the white ones. A couple of bad batches... if you would have contacted customer support, they would have replaced it for free.

Let me email then and see what type of reply i get but I can safely say the UAG case is the best case out so far the Galaxy S3, that case can take the beating while keeping the phone slim and
protected :good:
Its crazy that i just got my UAG case a week ago after reading reviews online but i never thought about looking here. To the OP....you make a good choice with the UAG. Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Like a couple of others above me, I have both the Candyshell and UAG cases (2 of the UAG, actually...black and slate blue). I loved the Candyshell and used it for about a month before it just started looking awful (I knew this would happen, though, since I'd had them on my iPhones in the past). Plus, I started getting cracks around the volume rocker and power buttons.
I decided to move to the UAG based on the glowing reviews here. I can say, without hesitation, that the UAG is the best case I've ever had on any phone, period. It will take a beating and still come out looking great and it strikes the perfect balance between protection, looks, and bulk (or lack thereof).
I can't recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed if you get one.
Love my slate blue UAG case.

I see where you're coming from, I'm mostly interested on buying a good tempered glass screen protector. That being said, the most I would pay is $40 US and a decent $10 case.
I like it!
I also like the looks of this case, but I have no experience with this brand. I'm a long time Otterbox user and have absolutely enjoyed peace of mind with a rugged or semi-rugged case on my smartphones in the past. I just ordered my N5 and I'm really looking forward to it as it will be my first Nexus devise but I knew that my accessory options would be limited for awhile. If a decent rugged case does hit the market I'll be all over it though. I tend to use my phones for three to four years so the investment of a high end case is well worth while in the long run. That being said...to each their own...some people are a lot more careful and don't need to worry about everyday drops and fumbles but I'm a frequent dropper.
If element does come out with a case I will probably buy the fake version for 25% of the price tbh haha.
I don't think you'll ever see a "high end" case like that for the nexus phones/tabets since there simply isn't enough demand for the phone/case. Meaning the manufacture(s) simply aren't interested.
For all the millions of accessories out there for the iphone/galaxy series, the nexus line only gets a few accessories in comparison. Couple of bumpers and a few cases of which a lot go by the same design. Nothing to "high profile" or anything.

Case is there to protect your phone. If you want to spend that much on a case just leave your phone unprotected. Buy a new one with the same money...
The Spigen Neo Hybrid Case and the Spigen Case Slim Armor are really high-end cases.
I've purchased them via Amazon together with the Spigen GLAStR Screen Protector and they look and feel much more high-grade than other cases like the Cruzerlite or the Ringke Fusion.
The Neo Hybrid fits extremely well and the screen protector is awesome.
It's much more smoother than the Gorilla Glass 3 and swiping and touching is just a dream.
Give them a shot if you search a high quality case.

Yep the hybrid case is great! It looks nice the power and volume buttons work flawlessly. My only gripe is the headphone hole. It won't work well for fat plugs like computer speaker plug for example. But since I don't use it that often it isn't too bad.

I've purchased "Pressy - The almighty button" and I think I can't use it with the Hybrid case.
I have the Neo and rate it as simply ok. It will keep the phone from getting scratched and doesn't look cheap and you have the feeling the phone may survive a drop. Or not. And yes, it is more slippery than the bare phone with a poor feel in hand. I also have the Seidio Dilex which is a little better looking and more likely to get your phone through a drop. That one has good feel in hand. There is still some hope that Casemate will come out with a tough case which I would buy in a heartbeat. Easily the best of any of the cases mentioned here all of which I've had in the past.
Spigen has the better looking cases out right now .I'm sure in time their will be more !!

UAG black - very good protection with just enough bulk/weight combo. Also, the case fits perfectly on the phone, very high quality production. With awesome design to boot. The screen cover it brings is also the best one i've ever seen, no cheapo 3 for 1€'s from ebay even compare.

Yes! This!!! I have the exact same case its amazing! Like nothing can destroy this phone with this case!
I used a SGP Neo Hybrid since more than one year but a few month ago the polycarbonat frame is broken so I buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Book-Wallet...-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-III-GT-i9300-/271210987593
And I'm total happy with this Case since 2 month!
After trying about 10 cases of varying materials , shapes and sizes I chose the fake Neo Hybrid case since the origional doesn't seem to be available anymore. Build quality is quite good for under 10 bucks and if it breaks itll be cheap to buy another.
UAG is the best!! Very good quality and build. Using it with a 0,4 mm glass screen protector. Beats the plastic ones by a 1000 miles.
+1 on the bodyglove shocksuit!! The shizz.
Spigen neo hybrid now, had an Otterbox commuter for the last year. Like them both but I prefer the Spigen
Got to agree body glove is the best. Good price and doesn't make the phone to big and bulky.

Oh my god yes. the UAG case is really nice. The one thing I do dislike is that the lettering on the back came off within the first week of having it. Still recommend for durability. Btw those who want the case, Slate is a lot closer to the natural GS3 blue than you think!

most of the fake UAG case sell cheap and have letters failling off or just painted on it not mentioning the quality is not the same at all.
im not saying you brought fake one but just sharing some experiences.
also my fav case is indeed a UAG one (Scout/black) i got it from Ebay for 24$ port inclusive from a Belgian seller, i did some investigation because even if its only 10 bucks less than the official store its still suspicious, i did sent some detailed pics of the case and box info/bar code and according to the customer service : it's a original one, nonetheless i spared 10$ on it but i didnt got custom taxes.

also my fav case is indeed a UAG one (Scout/black) i got it from Ebay for 24$ port inclusive from a Belgian seller, i did some investigation because even if its only 10 bucks less than the official store its still suspicious, i did sent some detailed pics of the case and box info/bar code and according to the customer service : it's a original one, nonetheless i spared 10$ on it but i didnt got custom taxes.

Wow, I didn't know they sold many knockoffs. Mine was direct from Amazon through UAG. I think I just have oily skin which made it easier to reduce the sticky solution for the lettering. Thanks for letting me know of that! I might get another just to have more color selection
Lifeproof Fre.
Otterbox Armour is a close second, but the lifeproof is more practical for everyday use, as it's more pocketable and wireless charging works through it.

exactly what make a UAG better than a Otterbox, Otter are nice but too bulky.
funny experience: i had 2 S3 dropped from my balcony (around 3meter)1 from a friend with a Otterbox defender and mine with the UAG without screen protector both hit the concrete on the lower edge (where the soft bumper is) result : mine nothing the other had a little (very small) crack on the bottom of the screen xD
sorry for the blurry quality xD

That life proof looks really solid but still just a bit too bulky for me. I might get something a bit thicker than my UAG, but first I need a proper full screen protector. I've gone through like 5 because they are dammed hard to apply.
