Trident Kraken AMS Black Case For Samsung Galaxy S III AMS-I9300-BK Trident Kraken AMS Black Case For Samsung Galaxy S III AMS-I9300-BK

Pros: Presents a raised lip over the screen to protect the screen from being in direct contact with any flat surface. Comes with a media stand. Lots of accessories available.

I do like the buttons built in to the case, they are easy to press.

Cons: The front bezel is super thin at the corners. It's not a matter of "if" it will break but "when" will it break. A design flaw, that obviously Trident didn't review before getting this case to market. Mine lasted 11 days, and Trident would prefer to argue over shipping costs, instead of just sending a new front bezel.

I'd pass on this case, and will consider a design that has a thicker corner bezel.

Other Thoughts: While the case seems rugged, the front bezel is extremely flimsy, and anywhere that it doesn't attach to the back part of the case is weak. The top headphone jack only accepts straight jacks, and possible 90deg jacks where the actual connector is slim. I find myself taking the phone out of the case to connect it to my stereo for pandora.

The screen protector is smooth, but not fingerprint resistant. It does not fit over the entire front of the phone, and just barely makes it to the edge of the actual display screen. I would prefer to see the screen protector extend to just past where the front bezel meets up with the front face.
