Trident Case Aegis

Presenting to you: Trident's Aegis Case for the Google Nexus 7
Let's Review...
Trident offers tough cases that are proudly made in the USA. I've had several Trident cases in the past (HTC EVO 4G, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the Nexus 7) I would describe Trident as an Otterbox alternative with a pop of color.
What's In The Box?
Silicone cover
Polycarbonate shell
Screen protector (glossy finish)
Cleaning cloth and applicator card
Aesthetics
I'm a fan of bright colors that stand out, so I like that Trident has chosen to provide color options for their Aegis case. The case comes in Green, Red, Pink, Blue or Black. I opted for the "Trident Green" and am impressed with how bright the case is. The case is just as vibrant as it looked on Trident's website. Trident went with more simplified branding on this case with having only the Trident shield logo in the center of the case and only having the actual "Trident" words logo on the inside of the silicone case. The polycarbonate shell is mostly textured with a few smooth areas.
Protection
This case offers what I'd consider mid-level protection. It has a thick silicone cover to protect from drops along with port covers for the microUSB port and headphone jack. The silicone is very grippy and makes it much less likely for the tablet to slip from your hands. The Polycarbonate shell adds a bit more protection and helps make the case feel much more solid. The only protection you get for the screen is the included screen protector. I'm not a big fan of the glossy screen protector, so I kept my matte one on.
Price
The Trident Aegis case runs $44.95 (+ free shipping on U.S. orders) on Trident's website (www.TridentCase.com) which I feel is a bit steep.
Final Thoughts:
I've only had this case for a day so far, but I don't see myself taking this off anytime soon. My "official" N7 folio case seemed to make my N7 slip from my hands way too easily and the flap would get in the way. I feel much more confident in letting my kids (3 &4) play on my tablet now without the need to hover over them. If you're looking for a case that stands out and offers a bit more grip and protection, I'd definitely recommend you try this case out.
Note: The pics attached were taken from my GNex with flash, so they're a bit washed out.

That's weird. I've never had any issues with their customer service. I had the Cyclops case for my old Evo 4g and had an issue with the proximity sensor (it was a yellow case) and they replaced it quickly. I also had a problem with a screen protector not fitting right and they sent me a new one quickly too.

Well I got the cases today. I really like them. I put the red and blue on my kid's tablets. Not even a few hours after I put them on, my daughter (she's 3 1/2), was chewing on the silicon part of the case and cracked the screen. It's sadly funny. They've had their tablets for about 2-3 months and have done great with them. They had Samsung Captivates before they had these. I totally didn't think about the "candy" color and the "gummy" part of the case. And did I have the accident protection for her tablet? No, of course not, DOH! After I get her tablet fixed or repaired, sadly, even though I love the Trident case, I'll be getting a full Otterbox for hers. Nothing chewy on that, lol.

Wow! That sucks. Otterbox might be a good way to go for the little one. I let the kids take over my original iPad when I got the N7, lol. Hope you don't have much trouble getting it repaired.

I'm so pumped!! I just used the promo code and got me a baby blue case. I was going to get pink, but hopefully they will sell just the soft parts of the case separate later on and I'll get it then.

So today I noticed that my green silicone case is starting to stain in all the exposed areas. I've contacted Trident customer service to return it. Has anyone else had issues with other colors staining so easily? I haven't had this problem with my green aegis case for my gnex. I'm really disappointed.

Can anyone tell me how thick this case is and how much it weighs? I was thinking about getting this case but am concerned about the size because I keep it in my pocket during the day. Thanks!

From their site:
Length:8.00 in
Width:5.00 in
Height:0.63 in
Weight:0.32 lb
I'd say its too thick to be pocketed from my hands on experience. Also, the silicone is very grippy, so it would probably be hard to put in or take out of your pocket (it was difficult in a pair of fubu sweatpants). I'm gonna switch to Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 case. Not as much protection, but it better suits my needs.

In assume you meant pocket. I keep it in my leg pocket on my flight suit. It is much larger then a normal pocket on your jeans. However that would be funny to watch someone try to cram in in a pair of jeans. I guess it would not be much worse than a galaxy note II

Help with Protection..

OK, anyone willing to help, please do, others please ignore.
I'm looking for a good case for the Note 4 I am waiting for to arrive.
As of now I have a Note 2 using the UAG hard case.. What are some suggestions y'all have for a case for the Note 4?? I prefer a "slimmer" design, but one with good protection. OtterBox is just too big and bulky for my taste.. I would also like to know what y'all think about screen protection.. We all know the DIY screen protection film, but what's everyone's opinion and experience with the "adhered" glass protectors, a stand alone or included with a case... Hope this makes sense.. Also hope this is in the right section, I tried "Accessories" but the forum was blank and gave me a error.

Tech21 Note4 Case
Here is a case that I highly recommend. Great protection, solid build, slim profile
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q6...&dpID=316nnF1aMrL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Hey Birdman. I've tried a few cases for my N4. I LOVE my current case. It's the Spigen Neo-Hybrid Metal. It's slim, while providing adequate protection and yet... looks slick as hell.
Here's the amazon link...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MA...&dpID=517hJeLjbsL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
as far a screen protection? I've got the Zagg Mirror Glass. It'd a Best Buy exclusive. So far... it's slick. I'm not a fan of the standard films.
Hope this helps ... and enjoy your N4!

I have the speck candyshell on mine and love it. Tech 21 are also great cases as far as being very slim but great protection. Also highly recommend a tempered glass screen protector. I got mine on Amazon for like $15 and has a lifetime warranty.

I spent a whole 7.55 each off 2 cases with swivel belt clips off ebay. Anyone who pays more than $20 for a case just isnt very bright. I dont need slim or flashy, i need protection and durability. Did the same with my nexus 5, never cracked a screen. I dont use a protector. If i drop my phone, it bounces. This case is gantastic. Its a generic 3 piece hybrid with belt clip. Purchased in 2 colors for 16.05 delivered, free shippi g, 2 cases

Yeah, I ended up buying a Caseology and the tempered glass screen protector.. The tempered glass should do me great, working on cars day in and day out really takes a toll on the flimsy screen protectors. With everyday use it gets pretty dull quickly since I can't always wash and sanitize my hands before responding to a text, etc.. My past 2 phones I've used the UAG cases and they're great, but I'm ready for a change in look. Thought about getting one if the cases (forgot which one exactly) that the guy Flossy on YouTube reviews. It was all aluminum, gold finish, bezel and back for the phone, looked so damn nice. Where he lost me though was when he said he lost a bar or 2 of reception. Still might buy one also anyway cuz it was pimpin LOL.

Flossy is great!! I always check his reviews before I buy. Thats how I got turned onto the Spigen cases.

are Xtremeguard any good?

Hey guys, Rhino shield are releasing their bumper soon and I was wondering if I should buy it, the problem is
that they do not provide a back protector because of the curved back nature of the note 5.
They said I should get another back protector but I haven't found any exept xtremeguard which are quite
cheap but have very few reviews about.
What is your opinion about them for the note 5? do you know other companies which make back protectors for the note?
Thanks!

Reread the Rhino site. The back protector is provided. Also, XtremeGuard is awful. Never had a good experience in about 10 orders. I gave up on them last year, finally.

It looks like the protectors aren't glass, but flexible plastic. If you watch the S6 videos, the protectors peel right off.

I agree that XtremeGuard is garbage. I've gotten a few orders from them over the years when they run their 91% off sale, which is often lol. And they aren't even worth it even with the huge discount.
They come loose in a normal envelope and the quality is extremely poor. The cutouts look like they were done by elementary school students with scissors. And the overall quality of the material isn't good.
That's just my experience, but I wouldn't recommend them.

Thanks for the replies guys, do you know by any chance a good back protector for the note 5?

They are terrible...

Xtremeguard is only good if you have kids; I order their screen protectors for the kids tablets, when they at %91 off sale, which allowed me to order a couple extra per tablet for the price of 1 on Amazon or from other Manufacturers. I ordered 6 screen protectors total ( 3 were the correct ones, 2 were for ipad when I ordered for kindle fires, 1 was damaged.)
I've ordered from them in the past, they often send the wrong screen protector, so I learned on the most recent order (for the kids tablets) to order extra so at least I get 1 that is correct.
And I took a chance on the Note 5 screen protector (ordered with the other 6 for tablets) but it was garbage, made of a rubber textured plastic... which would not allow the Note 5 S-pen to slide across the screen.
Its been cumbersome finding a screen protector for the Note 5 that actual covers the display (NO I am not including the bezel as part of the display, I mean the part that actual produces imagery) I've ordered from 4 different manufactures, ranging from Glass to (normal) Standard screen protectors, and they are all short of covering the display by 2-3mm (On a white Note 5 this is noticeable.)

After trying the Zagg HD and the xtremeguard I was very frustrated that neither stuck completely to the edges of the screen.
I tried the Spigen based on a forum recommendation and I'm finally happy:

Are you guys protecting the backs?

I have a full skin set coming from XtremeGuard which I know is pretty crappy, but I thought I could use the back at least and put a better one on the front screen. I'm just worried about dust and dirt getting between the case and the phone and scratching the glass, am I being too paranoid?

I go by what Flossy said in his case review for s7 edge: A clean phone back will bring the best resale profits.

Dbrand is pre-order? I don't see anywhere saying when it's going to ship.
Right now I still have the shipping plastic on the whole phone while it's in the case because none of my screen protectors have shown up yet.

I ordered a dbrand skin for the back. As DaryllH said, better for resale profit.

I have dbrand and SlickWraps enroute right now. I'll write up a review for each one when they arrive.

I had an Xtremeguard for my last glass backed phone (Nexus 4) and really liked it! It was clear, thin, and added a LOT of grip to the device - exactly what I'm looking for with my S7 Edge. I'd already checked them out but they didn't have a backing listed - now they do, thanks for the heads up! They also have 88% off with a coupon code of GREAT88 which makes this a no brainer for me, even if it doesn't live up to what I remember from my Nexus 4.

Are you pre-ordering your Note 8 Accessories?

I'm thinking of getting these for the note 8 if it ends up looking like the mock up images (which I think is fairly likely). Any other suggestions? Is anyone else preordering?

Oh yes. I always have screen protector and case in hand before I order any phone.
I just get cheapies to tide me over until what I really want comes out. So far the "MoKo Flexible TPU Bumper" case and the "G-Color (wet application)" screen protector (2-pack).
I assume that Whitestone will release a glass protector in the near future and I like the Samsung Clear View cases. I might be able to order the Clear View case when I pre-order the phone, but you never know, so I spent the $8 on the MoKo case.

Yes I will order good case and screen protector.

Since we have about 2 weeks before the note 8 shows up, I will keep creeping the xda forums for ideas and most likely order thru Amazon a few days before the phone shows up. I am lucky now to not work outside all day so my phones are at less risk.

Don't order your case from Samsung with the same order as the phone otherwise the phone may get delayed if the case is not available.

I'm buying those cheap deals before launch so that it's not nude when I get it. Then I'll take my time to pick up the better stuff.

I want the Alcantara case

i did...
pre ordered the alcantara case plus the VR headset. will pick up the 360 camera for free through promo.

Just went back and ordered the Alcantara case, really sounds cool, plus I live that material, have seen it in cars before and it's great.

I don't know if it's a gimmick and it does seems a little strange to me. This is my first curved edge phone (had the note 7 for only a short amount of time) that I plan to put a screen protector on. I want to get tempered glass because I want it to be super smooth for S-Pen. I heard that with other protectors they only have adhesive on the edge which can cause a loss in touch sensitivity. I don't know how true it is but I decided to try this one because it has adhesive over the whole thing. I found this video https://youtu.be/-fbZ9HtcYOA to be the deciding factor for me.

The edge screens have made a mess of the screen protector market. Thanks for the link.

I preordered the Grey Alacantra case. I seen that with those cases most of the screen protectors offered will not work
together. I want the Whitestone protector but dont want to waste money if they dont work together.... Any thoughts
on these predicaments?

I'm eyeballing the Whitestone screen protector, but I'll probably get something less spendy to start with, until I determine which case I'm going to get and can confirm that the Whitestone will work with it. I'll likely get a cheapish case (practical, but not fancy) until I see what's available.
