Video: Seidio Active vs. Trident Aegis vs. Case-Mate Tough

I made a quick video comparison of these cases since I know many of you are considering buying one but haven't made up your mind on which.
I need a tough case because I work outside in what can be a rough environment at times. Protection for my device is important so this is about cases which cater to those of us who need the extra protection that usually involves adding some bulk to our devices.
I've had the Seidio Active case the longest. It was pricey but it's the only one that includes a holster which is important to me.
Pros: attractive, well constructed, all corners protected, easy access to ports and buttons, easy to hold, easy to remove while still feeling secure, reasonably slim
Cons: expensive, no hard plastic on top front of device
The Trident is probably my least favorite even though it is not in any way a "bad" case.
Pros: attractive, ports have dust covers, thick silicone provides added protection
Cons: fit and finish (a little too loose), corners not protected with hard plastic, bulkier
The Case-Mate is the one I just received but it's already my favorite.
Pros: complete hard plastic protection over the silicone base, attractive, fit and finish, textured back, easy access to ports and buttons, solid feel while still reasonably thin, fits perfectly in Seidio Holster
Cons: smudging of back with skin oils more noticeable than the others
My choice will be to keep the Case-Mate and use it in conjunction with the Seidio Holster. Hit me up with any questions you may have and I'll try to answer promptly.
BTW, PM me if you want to take either the Trident or Seidio off my hands as I'll be selling those.

Makes me happy that I just got the casemate tough case. For those of you who are interested in the Tough Case, they are on EBay for $20.XX with free shipping from NYC so you won't have to shell out $34.99 on case-mate.com or $27.99 with a discount code.

Great video JL! I just popped your cherry with tthe thanks button lol! Ill be getting a case mate also after seeing your video. Ill keep my seidio combo as a spare! It was also nice to see that the casemate fit nicely with the active holster. Thanks!

Great review. Thinking I am going to get the cssemate case too. Got the seidio surface combo with the holster but this evening I noticed a crack on the case along the plastic part in front of the power button.
I'm a bit disappointed because I have only had the case for one month and it already broke. Not something I was expecting from seidio when the hard case sells for 29.95.

Thanks for the video! I just ordered the Seidio Active combo (mainly to get the holster, will try the case as well). Did you take a look at the Otterbox Commuter? I'm wondering how good that case is in comparison to your favorite, the Case Mate.
Also, I've read that the Case-Mate Pop! case for the Sensation is basically the exact same design as the tough case with a slightly nicer (imo) look.

The Otterbox Commuter looks good but I opted not to consider it because every other Commuter I've had has cracked within 3 - 4 months of use. If they offered the Defender version I would have jumped on it. As far as the Case-Mate Pop! Case, it is a little less protective than the Case-Mate Tough Case because it doesnt have a complete hard backing......it is more like the Seidio Active because the silicone is not completely covered by what I can tell from the pics I've seen.

Case Mate Pop is very cool and protective at the same time.

I couldn't decide on which case I wanted, so I got two! Picked up a Seidio Active blue case and a Incipio NGP black case. Whichever one I like less will go up for sale... lol.

Well, they arrived today. Shipping was incredibly fast! The Seidio Active case is pretty awesome. Haven't used the Incipio case much yet since I've really been loving the Seidio. I'll post a mini review later tonight once I get back to my laptop. I'll include some pics too since all of the reviews I've seen for this case don't mention some key things I wanted to know before purchasing it.

Just ordered a Case-mate Tough! Seems to be really nice and sturdy.

Great review!
I have the Seidio Active with the holster. I do agree that when putting into the holster the silicon can be a nuisance. After some use though you can do the one handed insertion, where you slide the bottom of the phone in the holster first and with the index finger push up on the holster tab then seat the rest of the phone into the holster.
I've dropped the phone a few times on hard concrete at my workplace and no issues with cracking or breaking of the case or the phone. It's quite sturdy. Over all a great case.

Reekdaddie, totally agree with you in inserting the phone with the index finger, I have the same setup.
Probably am going to give the surface another try. I don't like to think about putting the phone in the holster with the use of my index finger. I like with the surface that once you have the bottom in you just push in and hear the snap.

[Q] Best protective case for One S?

I'm going to probably buy the One S. Which case is best? I prefer one that protects the screen/front as well as everything else. Something like the Otterbox defender for the iPhone which encloses the entire phone in a protective plastic shell.
suggestions appreciated!

I just got a One S and picked up an otterbox case. It has a rubbery case that goes on the phone and then that can clip into a harder plastic case, so there's shock absorption combined with a hard plastic shell. its kind of thick, but honestly i found the phone to be too thin without it. it's at a nice usable weight and feel with the case.
The otterbox case also comes with a clear screen protector which is nice. It wasn't cheap ($40-ish, cant remember) but im really happy with it so far and am not worried that i'll wreck the phone in any way.
Hope that helps.

If you want something very protective but not extremely thick put an invisible shield screen protector on and get a d30 case. Works pretty well but no where near as bulky as an otterbox.

Where can one find Otterbox cases for the One S? They seem to be available by the hundreds for the iPhone on Amazon...

I am just bought an Aegis case, looks like more protection than the Cimo I am currently sporting. The diztronic I got lost out to the Cimo.
I don't want it to be too thick though so the otterbox, etc, are out of the picture for me. I'll post a new thread when I get it. I am hoping the Aegis is a good compromise.

I purchased the D30 case when I bought the phone and use with a thin screen protector. As a clumsy person I've dropped it a number of times - including down my brick stairs onto concrete - and not a scratch or any indication of shock damage! Definitely recommend the D30. (About $40 was worth it.)

D30 case is $25.00 at T-Mobile.
I bought and its a great case minus the buttons which are hard to press. Very irritating.
Now have a Cruzerlite TPU case which is AWESOME. It is the slimmest case I have seen. You feel the actual size of the phone rather than a bulky case. Great protection and buttons are easy to press.
Cruzerlite cases are only 9.95 and have Andy the android bot design on them and come in lots colors.

oh yes ive seen that version of incipio. i like cases with the hard outter shell and the softer rubberized inner shell. thats the reason i bought the slim armor! slimmer, sleeker looking, and still great protection!

When I had my iphone I always used SPG cases so pretty sure I will be getting them again for S4

im a fan of the cheap $3.50 soft rubber cases... i got one on my s3 since last sept. dropped my phone probably 3 times on bare cement from 2-4ft height and not a single scratch on the phone. not to mention no screen protector..

Received the Rearth ringke slim today. Nice materials, but took it off after 5 minutes and put diztronic back on. The s4 looks blacked out with it on and handles better than the Rearth.

I would highly recommend the Incipio DualPro case, or really any of their cases. I have the DualPro and I loved it the moment I pulled it out of the box. Very smooth feel to it, but very sturdy as it comes with a rubber like case that goes on first, and then a hardened case that goes on top of that. It's not bulky like most dual protection cases, it doesn't add a whole lot in weight, can't tell at all honestly. For $29.99, it's a great case for a great phone! If I had to get a case other than the DualPro from them, I would recommend the Frequency case, just a typical TPU case, but also a great product.
I'm obviously new at posting stuff on here, so I can't post a link to their site, just go to incipio.com and I'm sure you guys can figure it out from there

I prefer Trident for my main case. I have one on my S3. It really protects well & looks cool. I'm also giving spigen a shot.

Otterbox Black Defender
Got the case yesterday. Absolutely stunning quality. The S4 is easier to hold while using the phone and gaming. Case itself seem to have good fit and it has no potential gaps for dust or dirt sticking between the phone and the case. Also the screen protector is amongst the best there is, it just aligns perfectly and the feel of the screen is pretty much as without it.
The only con for someone would be the size, but for me in need of a case that really protects while on a motorcycle and in the garage, this is it!
I will order the Glacier (White / Gunmetal Gray) version when released also.

I think my choice is pretty obvious, although we sadly are not in your poll
I personally love SGP's screen protectors. However, I've bought their cases numerous times in the past only to be disappointed. They have a very talented CAD guy that makes all their products look specular, but the quality was just not there when I actually got the cases themselves. That said, I have not used their S4 cases yet.
I wonder why they go by SGP if their name is Spigen. Shouldn't it be SPG?

Trident Aegis Cases
I always get these cases as I think they are the best overall quality for protection and its not too bulky like the otterbox. Had on my S2, S3 and just ordered one off amazon for like 19 bucks. Cant beat that! my s2 and s3 are still in mint condition cause of that case!

Casemate Tough cases

The same here. I was not a case fan (making slim devices so bulk or useless protections actually) but after my GS3 took a light hit with shattered screen, I found only a hybrid (soft material with hardened shell) case should be the way to go. After a few hours on forums and YT review, I ordered a Tough.
Has a good grip, feels really tough (didn't tried a 200€ crash test though) even if the soft layer collects dust, it's not as bad as silicon shells and the phone don't get stuck to the pocket when you grab it.
Then, still owning my brave & tough S2 (not so easy to break one, what it endured!) and before stock went down, I bought one for it. Nice one.
Then I went for a GS4 and already had its Tough cover when I received it.
Because of the GS4 design, Case Mate had to lessen the lip/edge around the screen and to cut off the hard shell over both side buttons but all is nicely done and never clutter face buttons (as it sometimes happened with S3) nor affects the screen sides touch.
Because of the straight frame, more rectangular GS4 design, I feel it less bulky in the front jean pocket than GS3 one that had to come around the pebble bezel.

Urban Armor Gear w/ Fly Grip on S4 (still fits Smart Dock), rocked the Aegis on my Note 2 prev

I rock the trident kraken ams case. Awesome protection and good price. One of my favorite featured is being ablr to take the kickstand off and put on a windshield mount or the bike mount. They have like 8 diff accessories to attach to the case.

Let us know how you like it when it arrives.
I like the extra corner protection. The case system seems like something from Aliens.

I had this case on my S3 for a few days before returning it, only because I didn't like the way the belt clip attached to the outer case. It's too hard to get it clipped in when the belt piece is still on your belt and you're trying to put the phone back in it. Also, I wasn't crazy about the clip piece being close to the screen. If this had a holster like Otterbox or a Seidio case I had for the S3, that would be much better IMO. Aside from the belt clip, the case itself is a solid Otterbox competitor, assuming build quality is the same for the S4 as it was for the S3.

I like the Trident Aegis case instead- just got one for my S4 and it offers the same protection without the bulky corners. I've had the Trident Aegis cases on my S2, S3 and now S4 and I must say its probably one of my favorite lines of cases.

Using the clip became 2nd nature after 2-3 days. I liked it because you could tell if the phone was on board without doing anything. What I didn't like is the ear opening cut off half the speaker and they didn't care.

I bought one for $30.99 on ebay. I have one on my s3 as well. I love the 360 belt clip and removable kickstand. Ordered mine on 5th, will be here on today.
Now I just need the phone.

Got this yesterday. Looks like a cross between an Otterbox Defender and an Element Case design. I really like it; pretty sure I like it more than an Otterbox Defender.

Also, I discovered that the Kraken fits in the Arkon Galaxy Note 2 armband; I'm positive an Otterbox Defender case would fit also:

One of my previous Kraken cases use to drive me crazy when I wanted to put it on its back. Does the kickstand cause the case to rock when face up? Looks flush in the pics.

If you look on the back, the top corners protrude, so the upper 2/3 of the case are in contact with a flat surface when you lay it flat. If you push down on the bottom, it will tilt, however.

No. It is poly carbonate but has a small bit of texture and some louvers on the back (for heat maybe?). If you use the case without the back on it (Perseus) then it will have more of a silicone feel. Can't really compare this case to the Seidio Active because the Kraken is a Mil Spec case. Much more stout.

Lightest and slimmest case for great protection?

I wanna buy a case which will be really light weight, as slim as possible, but it must protect the device, especially the screen, it should have a big lid to protect the screen. Also I would like if it has a non-rough backside, as it will be hard to slip it to my jeans pocket and take it out. I have read a little and found three I like, Case Mate Tough, Cygnette Workmate and UAG cases (not sure which one though!).
Kindly let me know for which one I should go and if it has any drawbacks or not.
Thanks in advance.

I have the uag case, and its one of the best cases I've ever had. It does a good job of protecting the phone, though you will want to get a separate screen protector.

Uag or ballistic aspira. I have the aspira and love it. Sounds like exactly what you are looking for. If you like I actually have an extra I can sell to you for cheap. It is the blue White one. Ballistic sent me an extra one. http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=83370
I had uag for my s3 and loved it.
Cygnette is great too but those would be my two suggestions.

None of the three you listed has any lid to protect the screen.
I don't like something flopping around when the phone is in use (when full screen is required). Have you considered a case with holster?
I currently use the Puregear Dualtek. I have the Spiegen Neo Hybrid but hate the buttons; too many accidental push.

Spigen is nice. I had one, but doesn't really protect the phone from a fall imho.

Just to thank everybody who indicated the UAG. It looks good. Gonna order one.

Definitely can't recommend Otterbox right now. The commuter for the S4 with a Zagg Invisibleshield ran me about $35, but the Otterbox build quality has really gone down the tubes. The plastic is thin and pops off easily. The rubber seems solid enough at least.

I have more than 7 cases for s4. Including 2 cheap tpu and tpu/hard hybrid cases from eBay. They are light slim and good quality. And cost less than 2 dollars.

You really should check out the ballistic aspira. Doesn't add much bulk and gives awesome protection.

Check out amazon. Says it scratches really easy. If I remember correctly some people reported signal issues.
