Trident Case–A Review

To say my family is tough on phones is a gross understatement.  I have often said that phone case manufacturer’s should test their products on my family because we are so rough with our phones.  I finally have had the opportunity to use a new phone case for purpose of review, and it has passed my family’s expectations.  I was given a Kraken A.M.S. Case for Apple IPhone 5/5S by Trident Case for purpose of review.  My family has a variety of phone types, a majority of them are Apple products.  I wanted to let my toughest ‘customer’ use this case to see if it would pass muster.
     I received a blue case.  The cases are available in 6 different colors.  Some of the features of the Kraken A.M.S. Case are:
1.  a hardened bio-enhanced polycarbonate shell
2.  3 layers of protection
3.  built-in screen protector
4.  device controls and ports protected
5. manufactured to military standards
6.  drop protection
7. dust filters
8.  rain / wind protection
9.  green protection (degradable, compostable, and recyclable
10. detachable media stand
My 23 year old son has been using this case for several weeks now.  He umpires baseball / softball games and always has his phone in his pocket. Not the smartest place for it with baseballs and softballs flying around.  He has broken more than his share of phones.  Recently, he thought that he had left his phone in his car overnight. In reality, it had fallen out of the car into the driveway.  It rained overnight.  The next day, his phone was discovered.  There was a little condensation inside the case because of cool temperatures and humidity overnight, but the phone is fine.  He drops his phone frequently and has had no issues with breakage of the phone or the case.  Overall, he loves this case.  The case retails for $49.95. I was shocked at this price.Of course, it is useable by anyone old enough to have a cell phone or tablet for which one of the Trident Cases is available.  Most cases we have purchased over the past few years have been much more expensive and much less effective.  I am really impressed with the Kraken A.M.S. case, too.  It really gives high performance at a reasonable cost. My other kids, as well as my husband, are already begging for a Kraken A.M.S. case.  I know what will be coming for birthday gifts!  Shhh, don’t tell them!
When exploring the Trident Case website, I discovered that the company offers cases for many different types of devices.  Cases are available for tablets as well as phones.  I love the design of these cases.  They are not nearly as bulky as some cases, yet they are extremely protective.  On the website, you can view videos of tough tests to their products. These are really interesting!  You can also read testimonials about how their different products work. Trident Cases are manufactured in the United States.  One interesting thing I noticed was that Trident Cases offer Officially Licensed Military Edition phone and tablet cases.  Wouldn’t that be an amazing gift for someone in the military or a family member of someone in the military? Also, “proceeds generated from the sale of merchandise bearing these logos and marks is used to support the trademark licensing program and enhance Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs for America's Armed Forces worldwide.” (Trident Case website)

Trident Case offers free standard shipping in the US and Canada.  Few companies are able to do that these days because of the skyrocketing costs of shipping.  I was pleased to find this little economic relief perk that Trident Case offers.
