Trident Aegis for Droid Charge review

Out of the four cases I have tried for the Charge I think I finally found my favorite. The Trident Aegis has some problems as did all the cases I tried but it is the best. It comes in 5 colors and they look great. I got the blue one and it looks as good in person as it does on the site.
The materials used are very nice and the surface has a great anti-skid finish that provides great in hand grip. The hard plastic outer shell covers all 4 sides of the phone for a tight fit. It is thicker then the Otterbox Commuter at the phones curve at the bottom but I actually like that. It gives the phone a great feel when using it in landscape mode. Even though it is a bit bulky it does fit in pockets easily. The corners of the case are heavily padded for drop protection.
All of the ports are covered to prevent dust, moisture or any other unwanted substance getting into them. I found that the usb port was hard to open at times (I have no finger nails) and that the hdmi cover opens a little to easily. The power button and volume rocker are covered as well and easily accessible. One of the things I really like is the dust filter on the speaker opening. The speaker is loud and clear and will not be getting dust in it. The lip that goes around the screen is not as big as the Otterbox but provides just as good of protection.
The protection this case offers is great. Its not as heavy duty as the Otterbox Defender or the Trident Kracken II but it is good enough for every day use. It comes with a screen protector that I did not use. I would recommend this case without a doubt. While its not perfect its does correct the things that I did not like about the Otterbox Commuter and provides just as good of protection. If I can get access to a camera at some point I will post some pictures to go along with the review.

Thanks for all of the info. both here and via PM.
I want to hold out for the Kraken 2, but my Otterbox is driving me nuts so I might just grab an Aegis.

The Kraken 2 looks pretty beast to be sure but I'm not sure if it's not just too think... Hows the thickness of it compared to the otterbox defender?

What aren't you liking about the Otterbox? I asking because I'm thinking of picking one up for myself.

The top and the bottom edges of the Otterbox are not covered by the hard plastic so it is kind of loose. The buttons are also covered which I don't like and the hard plastic is kind of slippery.

I don't like how the top of the silicon portion isn't supported by the hard case, so it easily separates from the phone if you lift the phone by that area.
I also find that, while it's nice to slip in and out of your pocket, the hard case is too slippery for my tastes. It slides off of sloped surfaces and I've almost dropped the phone a few times now.
Personally, I like having the hard buttons covered, but the silicon that covers the buttons doesn't seem to fit tight against the screen, so debris can work its way underneath.
I never use the HDMI port, so not having it protected by silicon makes no sense to me.
Don't let my dislikes make it seem like it's a bad case, it's not, but I think the Aegis will fit me better. The Aegis should arrive tomorrow, so we shall see.
I'm thinking of making a short video to show the differences between the cases. I'll let you know when it's up.

Moondrius and Romemo,
Have either of you had the Incipio case before your trident case? I'm wondering how they compare. I'm surprised to see the trident case so slim since I always incorporate trident cases to be monsters.

I had the Incipio double cover and the Feather and both were sent back. The double cover was alright until I noticed it covered the hdmi port. It did seem thin and less bulky. The Aegis is the most bulky of the 3 but in a good way I would say. Its slightly thicker at the bottom. I would say I liked the Double Cover more then the Otterbox but I used it for like 5 minutes. The Feather was complete garbage. Its a shame because I really liked the Feather when I had my Atrix.

Thanks. I have the Incipio double cover. I really like it since I never use hdmi, not sure I can handle anything that would be bulkier.

For the Incipio case? It's here:
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Dr...CRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp

Does verizon sell the Incipio case for the Charge? If so, how much do they ask for it? I really like the looks of the Incipio case and I am just trying to figure out if a covered HDMI port is worth it. I get 25% off accessories at Verizon so if the price is reasonable I wouldn't mind picking one up to try it out.

So I get my Charge on Monday. I have the cyclops series trident case for the fassy. It felt good. Overall I liked it. So I purchased the aegis. I bought it from the same ebay seller I got the fassy from: cyclopscase.
A good price too 23.33 with free shipping.

My dust cover for the hdmi port ripped off yesterday. I went to go use it and while pulling the tab off of the phone it just ripped right off. That tab is really flimsy and I used very little force around it.

Yikes... Yeah, that's a definite weak spot. I was thinking that, if I go back to my Aegis, I would just remove that cover.

Is it easy to take in and out of the case? I bought the media dock and the car dock, which leaves no room for a case. So I've been using the zagg shield that covers the entire phone. Problem is with the car dock, the sides have been tearing off due to putting the phone in and out of the dock. It's pretty useless, so I want a real case, but I don't want to buy a new car or media dock for it.
Does the Aegis come off and on pretty easily?

IMHO no. The hard outer shell is designed to be a reeeeally tight fit around the soft inside cover. As a current owner I wouldn't want to constantly take it off and put it back on for a car dock. Plus I think it would eventually wear on the buttons and dust covers.

Damn, thanks for the response. I guess I'll be running the sides of my phone naked with the Zagg shield on the front and back

Silicone TPU cases

Im currently usingthe hp folio case which is great but the screen flap kinda gets in the way, does anyone know of a good tpu or silicone case that fits well???
Seen this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sikai-High-Quality-Protector-Silicone-case-HP-Touchpad-soft-case-Green-/190597747424?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c6082d2e0#ht_1553wt_840

item # 320775056961 may be a better choice IMHO, and it is also cheaper

Have that one myself, it's very good.
Tight fit, semi soft silicone, I had to cut slits along the long sides of the buttons to give them enough flexibility to work. Not a dust magnet like some silicone covers can be.

is this thicker than the oem hp one?

I have no idea, sorry. I do know that I can fit the TP with the cover on inside a leather case with a bit of a squeeze.

I am in the UK and I really want to buy the black version but I can only find links to the clear version in the UK. Any pointers for a black one please?

It was $59.99 They weren't going to sell them til tomorrow launch but I argued because the website said they were in stock today at my local sore. Which is why I drive out there.

Could you tell me, that the back cover of s-view is the same as the normal S4 back cover ? Or It's thicker ?

There is another thread open that shows the two back covers. The s-view cover is a hair thicker.

The S-View Cover Linked in the OP is not the Samsung S-View Cover. I believe all conversation about buying one from best buy and such is about the Official S-View Cover. Just a heads up for anyone who didn't click the link.

YAH the reason i bought the one from amazon is because it comes with a kickstand.

I received my tridea s view case from Amazon, and it fits the phone perfectly. However, I'm not thrilled with the case. Here's my take:
The good: the s view feature works great, better than anticipated, and the case does a nice job of standing the phone up horizontally. The case is thin, and doesn't add much bulk at all. I like the color (I got the blue case).
The bad: the case feels cheap, almost like cardboard. I suppose this might be partly to make it thin, but I don't like the feel of it. Also, there is no protection whatsoever for the corners of the phone. I had hoped that the part that holds the phone in would come around the corners, but it doesn't. What is a case for, other than to protect the phone from drops and scratches? This case provides poor protection. Also, the cover doesn't stay closed, it just flaps around.
I'll keep using this case until someone comes up with a better s view option. I'm sure there will be more knock-offs as time goes on.

I just received my tridea s view case from Amazon today and yah the only flaw in my opinion is the corners, i like i just thought it would have more protection for corners but its fits nicely and the black looks nice. Plus i love the kickstand thats a major plus for me.

You can get it for $40 on Amazon now.

Would you recommend this case? I like it from the pictures but is it really low quality? How about plastic cover? Is it soft plastic or could damage metal sides? Thanks...

I've got this cheaply made, poorly designed, clear tpu case from best buy.

I had the same case but returned it because of the way the back looked. I will probably return the speck candy she'll also because it doesn't sit flat on the table.

Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal

How do you like the neo hybrid. I ordered the same one. Is the rubber really soft or is it a firm rubber that won't really stick in your pocket?

God I was hoping iwouldbt see this. You do realize when you say "sexy" in reference to a phone case it immediatelymakes me think of glasses and a pocket protector right? How about cases are not sexy....ugh

This is the Black Otter Box Symmetry
Dont really like it. The power button is sort of hard to press, and the bottom ports are not covered.
However it does fit snug, and feels good in the hand. Edge screens are fully in view, and easy to access.

I'm waiting for the clear case to arrive next week. The only way to show off its attractive, premium design.

One of the BEST cases (maybe it is actually the best)
After shopping around almost all day yesterday and checking out a lot of cases I have
found that only one case meets my requirements.
I wanted good protection but did not want the case to look like it's made for a war zone!
The other cases were either flimsy, hardly any real protection and some of them were not precision enough
to allow the usb cable to plug into the phone easily without having to wiggle/jiggle the usb cable connector.
Also I did not want to get a two piece case which adds a lot of bulk without adding a lot of extra protection.
So finally I found this Otter Semmetery case which alleviated all my concerns. ($49.95)
This Otter case does not interfere with the phone's Edge panel at all, not even
slighty. (which was not the case when checking out a lot of the other cases.)
It's a one piece case but it is a lot sturdier than any of the two piece cases I checked out.
The material it's made out of is not the easily bendable TPU but it's no where near as stiff
as the hard plastic cases. It's somewhere around half as flexible when compared to the TPU.
Another plus is that the inside of the case feels like it has a soft rubber coating.
Here are some pictures of the case:
Have a great day!
