Otterbox Commuter vs. Trident Aegis (pics)

I thought I'd start a new thread so the photos wouldn't get lost in one of the other case threads. I received the Aegis today. My wife and I both have the Charge and I bought Commuters for both, so I was able to install the Aegis on my phone and take comparison photos for those of you wondering about the differences.
I have to thank moondrius again, since I believe he was the first to post information about the Aegis, which lead me to purchase it instead of waiting for the Kraken 2.
Aegis:
Dislikes: More difficult to put on the phone than the Commuter. If you plan on swapping batteries often I wouldn't recommend this case. Lack of protection for the hard buttons. Silicon port covers are a bit harder to open than on the Commuter.
Likes: The grip coating on the hard case. The hard case support on the top of the phone. Extra protection on corners of phone. Cover over speaker.
Notes: While the grip coating makes it slightly more difficult to slide in and out of a pocket, the flares at the top of the phone make it easy to grab when you need to remove it from a pocket. A nice little design feature. The Aegis DOES have a cover for the HDMI port. I'm not sure what the holes are for on the back of the Aegis. Heat dissipation perhaps?
Commuter:
Dislikes: Silicon easily separates from the top of the phone when phone is grabbed from the top. Hard case is slippery, so it slides off of sloped surfaces and can slip from your hand.
Likes: Hard button coverage, although dust and dirt could still migrate under the protected area. Silicon port covers are easier to open than on the Aegis. It's a bit easier to slide in and out of a pocket. Case is relatively easy to install on the phone.
Notes: The Commuter is a more svelte case than the Aegis. The Commuter DOES NOT have a cover over the HDMI port.
On to the photos (the green case is the Trident Aegis). Sorry that they're a bit out of focus, my eyes were tired right after work. I also apologize for the hair and dust, but with six furry beasts running around, keeping the phones hair free is impossible.

Commuter silicon can separate from top of phone.

Great side by side comparison! I'll be getting one of these within the next week after I make a decision. Thanks for taking the time to make the write-up.

Nice post. This pretty much sums it up.

Could you comment on the ease of button presses? I have the Commuter and while I like the case a lot it makes the power and volume buttons very hard to press, I have to use the edge of my thumb and give it a good jab.

Its very easy to hit buttons with the Aegis.

Thanks for this. This confirms that I won't be buying the otterbox for sure, since I hate hard plastic. I like my current Incipio, case but the trident case looks like a good alternative.

I have a quick question about the Commuter case. It looks like there is no way for the baclights for the buttons to shine through the case, is that correct? I really like the looks of the Commuter case but I am trying to figure out if covering the backlights is worth it.

You are correct. The hard buttons are completely covered, so no back-lighting will come through.

That is what I was afraid of. I really like the Commuter and it would probably be the perfect case for me if the backlights were visible. I am not sure if I am sold on the Aegis. It looks a little too big and with the plugs being harder to open it might get annoying.
I like the Incipio Silicrylic case as well, but that one has no HDMI cutout which is kinda strange. Not sure what to do at this point, but great review!

My Otterbox commuter came in the mail yesterday. Here are my thoughts:
1) The Otterbox was super easy to install and looks nice. I like how the Samsung logo is covered because of the continutity of black.
2) Wow, this is a a chunky case! It is much thicker than I thought it would be. I definately wouldn't want a thicker case.
3) On the other hand, this looks extremely sturdy (One guy dropped his on off his bike going 75mph and the phone was fine). I'm not surprised.
4) The bottom physical buttons are covered but still have a really good feel to them (possibly better than having them not covered). However, at night I will have to get used to the positions. I was surprised how I instinctively knew where the buttons go without looking anyways.
5) Plugs and other buttons are easy to access. On button is actually easier to press now.
6) Slides in an out of my pocket with ease.
7) Decent grip in my hand
Overall I'm pretty happy. It was chunkier than I thought from looking at the pictures, but it also looks a lot more solid. It has a much better hand feel without feeling bulky in my pocket.

I almost went with the Aegis, but after looking at a video review of it, I decided against it because the case looks HUGE, plus in the video they said that it almost doubles the weight of the phone. I think I have only dropped a phone like 3 times in my life so I don't need some huge case to protect my phone.
I like everything about the Commuter other than the cover over the buttons. I like to be able to feel the buttons and have the backlight (especially once we get BLN support in future ROMs). So I decided against the Commuter as well.
I ended up going with the Incipio Silicrylic case. The Incipio would probably be the PERFECT case if it had the cutout for the HDMI port, but since I don't have any plans to use the HDMI port in the near future I don't think it will bother me at all. I should have my case in a few days so hopefully I like it.

I am guessing that none of these cases are easy to remove? I seem to be swapping batteries a lot lately and would need to remove the case on occasion.

The Kraken II looks easy to remove. Mine should be here any day now so I will let you know. The Otterbox commuter is not too hard to remove. The Aegis is a little odd to put on but after doing it a few times its not a problem at all.

Poetic Affinity case review

I was sent the Poetic Affinity case to review, so here it is. Hopefully this will help you decide on a case to help protect your shiny new 6P.
This case currently sells for $9.95 on Amazon
The Poetic Affinity is a clear polycarbonate case that protects your device from bumps and scratches while still retaining a low-profile. It is offered in two colors, clear with a black TPU lining (the color option I received) and clear with a clear TPU lining. As I mentioned previously, the inside is lined with a nice TPU material to help absorb shock. The corners protrude slightly from the rest of the case to protect against drops. It is very easy to install and remove and does not scratch your 6P while doing so. The outside edges are lined with a nice texture to provide grip and there are also TPU ridges along the back, so holding the device should not be a problem.

All the cutouts are perfectly centered and as they should be. The camera cutout does not cover the autofocus sensor and is surrounded by a raised TPU ring for protection. The ring around the fingerprint sensor is not too big and has a slight angle, making it very easy to find. I had no issues with any of the USB-C cables or headphones I tried. I have an intelliARMOR tempered glass screen protector installed and it does not interfere with it in any way and leaves plenty of room.
The volume buttons are separated and easy to distinguish from the rest of the case. I noticed I would occasionally press the power button or one of the volume buttons by mistake. It does not take much force for a button press, but I think that is because of the softness of the buttons on the 6P and has nothing to do with the case. I had no troubles taking a screenshot, a problem I had with the official Adopted case.
The only issue I found is the placement of one of the logos on the back of the case, it covers the “s” of the Nexus logo. That is purely cosmetic however, and does not affect the fit and function in any way. It would be nice if that logo was a little smaller and moved up an inch or so though.
Bottom line: If you are looking for a case that adds very little bulk and is well made for a good price and don’t mind the minor cosmetic issue (see above), I would definitely recommend the Poetic Affinity.

I've reviewed the same case on posted a video on youtube "techbswift".
The case overall is very nice, all the ports are big enough to accommodate any USB cable or headphone jack. The case is super slim which I love and, it provides decent bumper protection. I love the silicone markings that run up and down on the back of the case. It makes you feel like the case won't slip out your hands. All the buttons work properly and the see through back of the case is beautiful. The only thing I don't like about the case is the companies logo that's placed right where the Nexus branding shows through the case. If you're going to put a branding on a case, don't cover up the logo of the phone.

I agree with most, the branding is ill placed but it's probably just carryovers from the case's original template. Screenshotting for me is hit or miss but usually miss. Lol I never really do so not big deal for me. It is very ez to press the buttons which is one of my major complaints. Also the button area isn't rigid like the rest of the case which is another thing I dislike. I understand why it's that way but I'm sure they could've added more PC to keep it rigid and still have responsive buttons. The main reason I got this case was to show off the dbrand skins I have coming. Otherwise I would never go for any clear cases.

If I may humbly offer an opposing opinion, I find the plastic it is made of to be of lower quality than the Ringke Fusion or Spigen Hybrid. The branding is also off-putting, especially the P covering the Nexus in the phone itself. Not a bad case overall, but Poetic has done better in the past. There's something to be said about subtlety, and this one misses that mark.

I agree, I would rather be blunt about it than sugar coat the review and have people buy it. That would hurt my credibility and I don't see a point in offer anything anything but an 100% accurate review to the best of your ability. The plastic on mine came scratched which speaks for its quality.

Mine has scratches all over it already but I knew that coming into it. This would apply to all PC cases regardless of color. Can't compare to other similar cases as I don't have them.

Mine has a scratch on it as well, but my Spigen rugged armor has more scratches with less use. To be honest the only PC/TPU case that I've had that didn't scratch much, for over a year, was my Diztronic.

I've used Diztronic stuff in the past and generally like them but they make the same horrible mistake as Poetic and that's playing their brand aggressively on their cases.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Bumper Cases

EvolutiveLabs is currently experimenting with a design for a RhinoShield case (presumably a backless bumper case).
A RhinoShield case will be made for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7. We are experimenting on a new design for this device. If you are interested in knowing more, please do subscribe to this list and we will keep you updated once we have more information.
The current release date is September. Pre-Order will start later this August.
Anyone that's interested in being notified on the latest news/pre-order/etc.. can sign-up here:
http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/galaxy-note-7-case

Looks like a decent case. I'll be looking forward to it.

Do any other backless bumper cases exist? I never found one for the Note 5 and would like to for the 7. The back on a bumper case is pointless and just adds thickness.

I ordered an Aluminum Backless Bumper from eBay a couple days ago. There's a few color options, but, I selected the black, should look nice with the Black Onyx model:

Looks sweet. Though, I'd like at least like a thin back with the honeycomb pattern they advertise for some minor protection, since it's all glass on the back, too.

Im afraid of this cause what if it lands flat on jts back? No protection at all.

I thought the whole point of a bumper was to be raised on the front and back so it can land on flat surfaces on either side and not damage the front or back. That's what makes it a bumper and not a regular case.

Thinking about taking a razor blade to the back of one of these Ringke cases I got for $1 to see if I can make my own bumper case. If no one will make a real bumper, maybe we can at least find the fake bumper case that can be easily converted into a real bumper case.

I'll probably do likewise,the Poetic Affinity case comes to mind.
The EvoLutive Labs/RhinoShield bumper for the HTC 10 adds too much width in the grip.
Some complained about the stiffness of the buttons as well.
I have no problem w/the latter,but,I did find the added width was too much & mine ended up in the land of misfit phone accessories after 1-2 days of use,which was a bummer @ $30..............

This was my favorite case for the note 5, can't wait to try this out especially since they didn't make one for the SD Edge

Good news! The Ringke Fusion, Fusion Mirror, and Frame are all two different types of plastic glued together, so with some bending and a razor blade to start the cut, you can separate them and throw away the back pretty cleanly. I don't have my Note 7 yet to see if it still keeps the camera off the table, and I'm not sure how much I stretched it pulling them apart, but it looks to be exactly what I wanted. Picture attached. These were $1 or $2 with coupon on Amazon a week or two ago. The fourth one I have from Ringke, the Air, is all TPU with no clear line to cut through, so I'm not even going to attempt making that one backless.

Well the question now will be...how well it will hold the phone..since it's just tpu..
I would imagine taking it out of your pockets will dislodge it from your make-shift bumper case

You are correct. The Fusion and Fusion Mirror were too flimsy on their own. The Frame case, however, with its plastic reinforcement wrapping around the TPU, is pretty decent. If you're going to modify a case to turn it into a backless bumper, I recommend only the Ringke Frame of those.

Have you tried it with the frame or just guessing? I'm very curious if this will work because I don't like cases, I prefer bumpers.

I'm with you. It looks good for sure. But because of the lack of back support, I'll have to pass.
Although looking forward to seeing the pics.

The Frame does work and is sturdy. I'll take a photo soon. Not sure what the advantage of back support is. We don't have front support. We have the lip sticking out on both sides to protect both equally.

Cases that feel like actual phone

Everyone is stating the phone feels great without a case. What do we do buy cases day 1 and eliminate that feel. I feel I take off my spigen crystal case just to feel the phone daily. At this point just about every case for the note 7 has been purchased.
If your phone with case has a similar feel to to holding your actual phone please post pics and where you bought it from links are welcome.
Remember the phone has to feel like it was naked that's the goal of this thread.

Yes, transparent cases are perfect for our smartphone, more than Note 7!

Im also looking for a case for my Note. I honestly dont even care about drop protection, I just want the absolute thinnest possible, nice looking case to protect it from scratches, thats it.
Bonus points if it has port / hole covers as well as full button coverage.

Bear motion, black. Looks great and as thin as they come with some awesome texture.

Seriously not sure why people don't mention them more, the texture is amazing and if you are into slim cases they fit great.

The Ringke slim case is super thin like the bear motion, but it gives some protection. It covers up to the display and barely makes the phone any bigger at all.

If you guys have the cases please post pics and if you know where to find please post links.

Hmm. I have a spigen crystal and they look almost identical when you get it take some pics if possible. The problem with my spigen case is it has rigid edges and the grip factor is gone with this case.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

sure. I find spigen aren't quite as thin as they imply in reality. I used a ringke on my note 5 and it was just a tad smoother and thinner than spigen.

I have an olixar gel case that really has that barely there feel imo. You need to like/not mind gel material though, it feels good when you hold it (grippy) but I can imagine people thinking it looks to cheap on their fancy phone.
Perhaps this is a bit more look than feel but I think the Obliq Slim Meta cases do a good job. It helps that they copy the color of the phone I suppose

I have always used them too. But their current Note7 case provides ZERO screen protection. If you lay the phone down on its face, it will rest on the glass, not the edges of the case. They are aware of the issue and are considering a re-design. They didn't have much of a choice since the edges of the screen curve down giving them less room to protect the device.

This was the first case I bought for my Note 7 had one for my S6 Edge + and it was my daily driver, It went on my Note 7 smooth aside from it feeling like it was going to scratch the hell out of my bezel, but loved the fit and it felt great. Didn't like how it mashed and scraped against the buttons because the case has button cutout, and lastly first time i took it off (not easy!) I was sick to my stomach because I thought for sure my bezel was going to be gnarled up (luckily it wasn't, but I feel like over time it would be with this case) and I easily broke the tiny bit of plastic between the volume button cut-out and where the screen begins. So I give this case (unfortunately) a thumbs down. :crying:

CaliCase will be exactly what you're looking for. It will hands down be the thinnest case available when it releases. They're working on it and it's what I'm waiting for. Nothing else comes close.

That stinks you've had problems with the Ringke case. So far I have had zero problems. Nothing has broken, the case hasn't caused any scratches on the back or bezel and I have even dropped the phone twice on concrete with not issues. That being said, this case does not take the shock of the fall like a TPU case so it definitely doesn't protect from falls as well. And while it does have a small lip raised above the screen on the top and bottom, the sides do not have a raised lip, the just come right up to where the bottom of the curved edges on the side are. But yes I can lay the phone face down and the screen does not touch. Maybe we have a slightly different case? Here is the one I am using:

I just received my N7 two hours ago and am now looking for the slimmest case possible. I don't like cases that covers the buttons, I like using the actual phone buttons.
I have this case for my S6E and really wish there was a similar one for the N7, it's the best thing ever since it only snaps to the corners and keeps the phone's edges free:

The Best G5s Plus Case?

I'm having a hard time finding a quality case with a belt clip for this phone. I have bought and sent back 2 from Amazon so far. What is the best case?

No belt clip, but I just ordered this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192142439659

Quite like the Spigens rugged armour case for moto g5s plus.

As much as I'd like to have a slim case, I want something that feels like it's going to do a excellent job. I tried the Tudia Merge case, and it's a very nice case, but there's so very little lip protecting the screen if the phone is dropped. If the phone was to land face down on gravel or an uneven, rough surface, I wasn't confident that the case would do the job.
I settled on this. It's not the most attractive case, it's a little bulky, but the inner cover is silicone and seems like it would do an excellent job protecting the phone if it were dropped. If you go with this one, just a suggestion, once you snap on the outer polycarbonate shell, be sure to pull outward on the flexible silicone layer, to make sure it gets fitted properly. I had problems with the volume up button sticking, until I discovered that pulling on each corner of the silicone made the problem disappear.
Asmart Moto G5s Plus Case, Moto G5S+ Case from Amazon

I have this case. While it offers pretty good protection, I'm not loving it. The TPU on the bottom and top of the case does not have any hard case to support it. So, if you grab the top or bottom of the phone, the TPU stretches quite a bit and feels quite loose. And the TPU on the bottom of the phone (no hard shell) interferes with sliding it in and out of my shirt or pants pocket since the TPU is "grabby". I'm still using it though until I find a more suitable case.

I settled on this. It's not the most attractive case, it's a little bulky, but the inner cover is silicone and seems like it would do an excellent job protecting the phone if it were dropped. If you go with this one, just a suggestion, once you snap on the outer polycarbonate shell, be sure to pull outward on the flexible silicone layer, to make sure it gets fitted properly. I had problems with the volume up button sticking, until I discovered that pulling on each corner of the silicone made the problem disappear.

Go for SPIGEN CASES

Bit costly but worth it
It's super snug fit

I have this case. While it offers pretty good protection, I'm not loving it. The TPU on the bottom and top of the case does not have any hard case to support it. So, if you grab the top or bottom of the phone, the TPU stretches quite a bit and feels quite loose. And the TPU on the bottom of the phone (no hard shell) interferes with sliding it in and out of my shirt or pants pocket since the TPU is "grabby". I'm still using it though until I find a more suitable case.

Yeah, the grippiness is annoying. I use a Turtleback holster most of the time, which makes it a lot easier to slip in and out. I've tried a few other cases, but none offered satisfactory protection for the screen, with only a millimeter or two of raised protection.
I'm hoping that UAG or Supcase comes out with an offering for the G5S Plus. They already have one for the G5 Plus, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I got this had a Tudia on my 6P and enjoy it

Spigen. It is great. Not only does it look pretty and holds well in his hand. The disadvantage is the price - 25 Euros.

So far, this is one of my favorite cases for any phone...Has that "Sandstone" feel to it, which is really grippy. Very thin also:

GOLDEN SAND

Quite similar to Spigen but has extra grip in the form of silk texture.

I'm using Golden Sand too. Excellent fit, and good grip too.

Here's mine fresh from Amazon.

I've ordered Spigen and then cancelled it and ordered this one instead. I've been looking for a case for some time, and not seen it before. It must be new. I'll let you know how I like it.

Hey. I've got this one and im very satisfied with it. I had spigen on my nexus 5, but I think this oxygen case for g5s plus is even better.

Thanks just bought a gold one of the one you link to and it's excellent. I've taken the Spigen off for now as this is so good.

In Vietnam the phone comes with a free transparent case. So here's what I did with it:
