Does anyone have the retail version? If so how is the "clip thingy"? I'm kinda skeptical about the clip it looks like there isn't very much to it and it also looks as if it would cause the phone to wobble on your waist.

Sent from my Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
This was my main concern with it. I may or may not order one down the road, but a solid holster/clip is one of a couple primary points of interest for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eazie757:
I can agree about the clip being important, I hate to say it but I may just end up waiting on the defender for the note, at least there woukd be satisfaction with the quality and style of the build of the defender's holster.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E.J.Su:
There is no retail version yet. The clip doesn't wobble.

When is the Aegis gonna be available? I don't even see it @ tridents site yet..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E.J.Su:
Aegis has been available for a week. I will have to check with people who handles the website see what's going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Yep I've been waiting for the trident site to buy the aegis because I'm worried to buy it from an unknown site and it be some sort of knock off.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Deksloc:
The Aegis is available now. I can't post a link, but on the Trident.com page, click "Products", then Samsung, and then Samsung Galaxy Note. The description for the Aegis case says Apple iPhone 4, but when you click "Get Details" it shows it correctly.

I want the green one so badly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
See I had a defender case for my hd2 and even though it was thick I could have it in my pocket while at work, and in the holster while out and about, but with the note, I think the kraken is too thick for me to carry it all day at work in my pocket, so the Aegis is a definite for me, and I saw the aegis version for the galaxy nexus in YouTube and I really liked it, I think it will protect it well with not too much thickness added.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I'd like to see them both side by side, at least in video so that I can decide on how much protection I want. In the absence of said comparison, I'm leaning towards the Kraken AMS. I've always like convertible cases.

Please correct me if im wrong. I was just checking again on the kraken pictures that you uploaded, and it seems to me that the edges are not protected by any hardshell, but only by rubber silicone. am I right? can i buy the case at the store or they are only sold online?

When is the kraken AMS coming out?

Sent from my Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E.J.Su:
The front shell shares the same edge as the silicone, and the silicone on the corners are double thick.

I believe Sam's Club carries our products, but we have numbers of large distributors, I am not sure which stores they sell into exactly.

The shipment we got was the Kraken.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
Is there a significant difference in corner protection between the 2 cases?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keranjang:
Dont mean to be a thread crap, especially to E.J.Su (cause you know how much I couldnt wait for the Kraken, cause even my friends call me weirdo for keeping my phone in the box all the time everywhere.); but i personally think, no matter how thick the silicon rubber is(unless as thick as car's tire, probably:p), if it doesnt have frame to completely stop the impact force going towards the body of the phone, the phone will still receive the impact from the hit/drop/bump(whatever you wanna call it) to some extent.

what I would consider as a great protection would be, the phone's main body completely wrapped by a hard shell, but at the same time there should be tiny pillows in between the hard shell and the body of the phone, to absorb the impact before it reaches the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
Looks good, but I've bought two cases that were 2-pieces like that where the corners weren't hard plastic. With each of them, the rubber or silicone peels off the phone way too easily, IMO. I'm worried about that happening here too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ray_Banci:
Never really thought about it but now that you guys bring it up aren't the corners the most liable place to make the screen crack? Why in gods name would there be added protection on the back where the phone is less liable to fall?

Check out this video ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PoeRYt_aXo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I do believe that a shell that covers the phones entirety would distribute the impact while the soft cover would absorb the impact. As for the pillow idea...

While I'd prefer the hard case, I suspect that the lip would stop that from happening in my case.

The Ballistic SG which is in stock now seems like it has a similar lack of hard case on the edge. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592232

Cool video, thanks for posting.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Ok, I was on the fence, but that bottom lip folding over in the video is a deal breaker. I'll wait for the Kraken.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Does the picture of the Kraken look like it will have the same fold over problem as the Aegis?

Is it just me that wonders why you'd make a multi-layered case and not put multiple layers on the part most prone to damage. Unless the soft plastic gives the ultimate protection...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wrightc88:
I'm going to be torn between the Kraken and the Otterbox Commuter. Kraken is going to have a slight edge since you can get it any different colors.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
No way, Otter has given inferior products to the non-iPhone crowd too many times. I would strongly consider Ballistic though, especially in the size of case you are looking for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keranjang:
I'm actually kinda afraid to try ballistic.my wife use ballistic hc series and somehow when I opened it I saw that the top right edge of the phone scuffed.it was her infuse btw.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
When the part of the case closest to the phone is the hard plastic you run that risk. Sometimes they add something to reduce scratching, but I've had issues with that from Otter, Ballistic, Trident, Seidio... I guess the Trident Aegis having the soft layer on the inside would be a good option for you then.

That's why when I got my Note, I only took the clear plastic off of the screen. The rest of the clear plastic that it's packaged in is still on my phone to reduce scratches from these types of cases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
I have that ballistic, and was all set to love it. But the rubber just peels away from the phone too easily. I'm back with the Speck case and waiting for something else that stays on the phone well.

Just bought my Aegis today and I like it. It gives pretty good protection, but feels thicker than the Otterbox Commuter that's on my SII. That being said, I've thrown it across the store once or twice a day it did well. I even so, I'll still get a Commuter when we get those in stock and see which one I like better. The fit is good, nice and tight, just feels a bit thick in the hand.

LOL... looks like there's only available 1 of each color ... and I already bought the BLUE from his store !! ... so hurry if you want the Kraken !!

P.S ... I also currently have the GREEN AEGIS case, but bought this for when the situation call for heavy duty protection ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
bought the Kraaken blue from Trident direct, ordered Thursday, shipped today, hoping to have it by monday.

I have had 2 other Trident cases prior to this one, and I can tell you their quality and protection is fantastic.

Much better fit and quality than otter box, multi colors to choose from, at a lower price..

If you want a Kraaken for sure asap, you'll have to buy it directly from them; all the other sellers, who charge less, are out of stock or waiting.

Trident ships for free, within 24 hours, so if you want it now, for sure, thats probably the best option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
This would be great except the belt clip "holster " looks atrocious and not very user friendly. OtterBox hands down has the best and sturdiest holsters around. Hence why I'm waiting for them to release the Defender already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I don't use the belt clip/holster that much, so its not that important to me; I am more of a "dropper", so I need at least one case in my collection that can handle stupid drops and such..

The problem with otter box is it takes them so long to actually release stuff for android; iPhone crap is usually out as soon as the phone is released..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Or in the latest Apple offering, the "new iPad", BEFORE it was offered, they already had a case. I'm impatiently waiting for tbe OtterBox just because I like their products and have had tried and true use for the last 4 years. Otherwise, the Seidio Active would be my first choice, then Trident. Its all about the holsters baby.... ;-)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i read the AEGIS has the soft corners where you can pull/peel the rubber back easily

can soembody confirm its the same way on the Kraken case?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ray_Banci:
Guys I've had the kraken for like a bit now and I can totally confirm this case rocks. Only thing is that the kickstand is a ***** to open you need alot of force i feel like I'm going to break the damn case when I do it. Also the metal kickstands isn't perfectly level. Little pet peeve its like a microcentimeter off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Can we get some pics?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I returned mine today; the flap that covered the s-pen holder was just dangling loosely, and was very annoying to me; I wasn't sure if it was a defect or poor design, but I sent it back anyways..went with a seidio active with metal kickstand, which is a lot less protective, but a lot easier to pocket..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
Yea I feel the same and my only other complaint is that I wish the belt clip was a little more functional but it is nice though but that Otterbox communter is available now gonna have to check that out and see where it stands
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] live4nyy:
Got the Kraken yesterday. It's definitely a sweet case, fits real well.

Pros:

1. Accurate fit

2. Protection

3. Comes with a separate screen protector so the user gets to choose

4. The shell goes all the way around the front preventing the silicone from "lifting"

5. Covered ports

Cons:

1. S-pen cover just "hangs" there with no way to secure it closed

2. Bulky

3. Belt holster is

un

-intuitive

4. Difficult to put on and take off

5. Kickstand is a pain to open and seems too small for the size of the Note

This is just an "initial" impression, I might revisit some of these later on. I'll post some pics once I get a chance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keranjang:
Hi Ray,

you were with me with the edges not being protected by the hard case/shell. so now that you already have it on your hand, what do you think about it?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] live4nyy:
Here are some pics. See attachments.

I wanted to show the front bezel and how the frame wraps all the way around, securing the silicone lip from lifting. There are some pics showing the cutouts, the one for the S-pen shows how the cover is just "hanging" there. Then there are a some showing the "bulk" and angle of the kickstand.

Hope this helps anyone in their decision for a case. I really like the case but I will probably spring for the Otterbox Defender once it becomes available.

:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ray_Banci:
Ill have to say I realize now the primary reason for doing this to the corners was because of the spen. The plastic does cover the front part of the edges but only the silicon protects the very specific corners.

Now, I'm not expert on shock distribution, but even with the thickness of the corners I'm not sure if they can fully withstand a huge fast drop. I'd be nice if somebody who gets an otterbox defender could compare the two with pictures or something
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keranjang:
mind to share why would you spring for defender if you said you like it? im on the hunt to find the most protective case.

second that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] live4nyy:
At the end of day, I just feel the Otterbox is going to be a better fit for me personally. It always ends up being the

little things

and in this case, pun not intended, from my previous experiences the Otterbox

holster

is much easier to use and I prefer having the grip of silicone covering the entire back and sides.

I feel that the Kraken and Defender cases are pretty equal when it comes to protection. I noticed the concern for the corners but while the Defender has a plastic shell covering the corners the Kraken has much more silicone to absorb impact.

But, like I said, it's always the little things and it really comes down to personal preference. I feel safe with the Kraken but I

prefer

the Defender. Sorry I did not explain that, I can see how that would be confusing. :o

It appeared like a normal looking site but it didn't have the most up-to-date product information so I CAME HERE to ask what's up with it .... didn't I? Hahahaha

So what does this mean? This means I'm smarter than you and you don't know your place when talking to people. Simply put... you are not intelligent enough to act like an asshole to people.
