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.

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

Since there is no barely there case can anyone tell me what is a good thin case?
Incipio Feather for the regular Nexus S is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for. It will fit the 4g, but the power button cutout is a little off center. Doesn't really bother me at all, though--I really like the case.
Off center is fine as long as it fits
No white? Blue it is
Thanks

I have a feather too. Great case, doesnt completely cover the top n bottom of the phone but it doesnt bother me.
I jus ordered a feather. Hopefully it will be here soon. Thinness I can find
Update. Feather came today. Looks very nice. Volume is off center and I had to ever-so-slightly trim it. Very nice. Thin, feels better in my hand. $16 on eBay for the black one.
a picture is like 1000 words ...
Taken w my wife's epic 4g. Hard to snap great pics and hold it lol. Very happy w the case after the slight trim where the volume is.
Still sexy thin?

Pretty nice .. Thank you for the pictures.
i bought a red feather case black was sold out at the time and thought red would be a nice change. Turns out i didn't like the red, i used RIT dye and dyed it black using a trick i remembered from my diamond years ago, came out very well. Got bored and started to use sandpaper to give it some texture, after about an hour i have a silver case with black Incipio engraving.. pretty nice. Finished off with smooth straight strokes with sandpaper. Ended up with a fairly good looking stainless steelish case.

I wrote a short review and posted it to my site (site has affiliate and non-affiliate link) along with 11 pictures. Here is a copy of the review.
Here is the case, the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case, I just purchased for my Nexus S 4G from Amazon. As you can see by the pictures, the case definitely lives up to its name, it is very thin and also very light. I’ve only owned it for an hour so I will not be able to report on its durability, nor will I drop my phone to test it.
The case is easy to put on and has a snug fit. The holes for the volume buttons, camera, flash and speaker line up perfectly. However, this case was designed for the Nexus S so the hole for the power button doesn’t match perfectly but doesn’t interfere with its operation. I’m able to wake and power the phone on/off easily. The case is open at the bottom and shouldn’t obstruct the use with the mini-usb and headphone jack with a dock.
It feels a little slick but not as slick as the back without a cover. I can’t feel a discernible difference in the weight and size of the phone with the case on. I can imagine this will prevent a lot of the small dings and scratches but wouldn’t offer much protection if you drop your phone. I usually buy cases for my phone but end up taking them off because of the added bulk. For me, this one is a keeper.

I think Ringke is the best case for 4g. Nice texture, good protection, looks good and fits phone perfectly. This case surpassed all my expectations.
Here's a quick & dirty pics review for the Mercury brand TPU case.
I bought this TPU case from eBay at a whopping $7.77 US total once shipped. Definitely not a bank breaker.
I have bought it from supermom28. You can get one here. I ordered it on January 4th and received on January 16th, the seller even included a cheap plastic screen cover. Sadly it seems the white color is currently out of stock, so if you are looking for one you might want to look elsewhere!
Plastic quality is very good. The first thing I noticed when unpacking it was how rigid the TPU felt. My other TPU case feels much more rubbery than this one, albeit not as much as a silicone case. This can be a pro or a con, depending on your preference.
One con I can see is that since it's less rubbery, it's also less grippy. The Nexus S in my opinion is plagued by the fact it's a slippery phone, so you have to make sure you have a strong grip when taking it out of a pocket or your purse, if you're a lady. This case does not solve this problem.
Two pros I can see however is that it will not attract dust and particles as much as more rubbery cases and it is much shinier. The case is very light reflective, definitely looks good.
The cutouts are good. They're not absolutely perfect in their location, but they're not atrocious either. One example would be the headphones jack. The edges are smooth and well finished.
It fits snugly on a i9020a model. Snugly might not even be the right word, it can even be quoted as being nearly too tight. Fitting it on the phone can be a bit difficult, mostly due to the material rigidity so it's important to fit certain edges first or your might end up with slightly misaligned power and volume buttons.
The color is vibrant. Although in the pictures it seems the white is cream, this is due to the low quality point and shoot camera I'm using with little to no possible adjustment to white balance. It is definitely white and I imagine the other colors would be as vibrant. One very nice touch is the inclusion of what resembles automotive paint flakes in the plastic, giving nice looking silvery reflective shards.
Some users have noted the obvious engrish on the case logo. If you dislike it, it can easily be "sanded" off using a cube of sugar and a bit of rubbing. Another curious inclusion however is the engrish inside the case. Just look for yourself...
Thanks for the warning Mercury, I'm sure removing this sticker could yield lethal results.
All in all, I could say I'm pretty satisfied with this TPU case. It's cheap and looks good. My only gripe would be the slippery feeling of this case. My other TPU case added grip to the phone, this one does not. Otherwise, a very solid buy.
Thanks for the review - I was having trouble deciding on which colour case to get for my new Nexus S but think I'm definitely going to go for the white one now - it looks great!
I contacted the eBay seller 'supermom28' a couple of days ago and they did reply saying they will be getting the white case back in stock, but no ETA on that so I may have to look elsewhere.
The only thing I'm not digging is the openings for the buttons, but other than that, it looks like a nice case.

This is something I'm not too sure about. On my other TPU case the buttons are covered. I like the unified look it gives. However, I kinda enjoy the feeling of pressing directly on the buttons rather than squishy rubbery plastic. They're obviously a bit recessed too so that's something else to consider.
I have two of these and I love them. Too bad the white one went up in price so high.

i got the black one, the writing on the outside comes off with your nails and i removed the sticker from the inside and it was covering a spot that's not painted!
I just got mine in the mail yesterday. I forgot to specify the color in the paypal notes and ended up getting a white one. I am not the best at putting on screen protectors so i didn't do a great job with that. But funny enough, I dropped my phone for the first time on the way to work to pick up the case. It made me realize that I really want one. Luckily, the back cover just ended up with a scratch. My phone is defiantly protected, a bit weightier, a bit thicker, but still fits in my pocket.
I've got a read one and my wife thinks it looks like a ladies phone case. I may end up getting another color

This going to be my first official review. t no one has one of these up for cruzerlite yet:surprised: , so here we go!
Case ordered late night sept.30th(basically at midnight)
Delivery received on Oct.3rd(had picked standard 5-7day delivery so that was nice and quick)
Packaging isn't over the top nor too little. Perfect amount of protection for case during delivery while at the same time making it not a hassle to open quickly and get the case on your device.
First impressions of case:
Very sleek.
Clean design
Nice color (smoke gray. The way this color looks leads me to believe the rest that they offer all look just as nice if not better. I will be buying the blue very soon and will put up pictures of it also)
Installation of the case is a Breeze. Slide bottom of device into bottom corners, then lightly press on top two corners and it slides right in. The edges of the case come just slightly up over edge of screen(see pictures) to keep the screen raised up for those face down drops or accidentally setting it screen down whilst in a drunken stupor.
it is literally completely perfect fit all around the device. The case does not peel away from edges as some silicon cases do on My Gnex. Easy access to every port(including the pins on bottom left).
Overall satisfaction: 9/10
Design is great. The android bot design across the back with low profile cruzerlite logo above speaker is very nice to look at and gives nice textured feel when holding the device. on the back i would describe it as a "soft brushed" feeling. While the edges are smooth and grippy. Makes the device much easier to hold.
There is only one very minor thing i would have liked to see, or at least am option for it. And that would be covered volume/power buttons. I work in a kitchen where toast crumbs and grease are everywhere. Being able to have those buttons covered so that none of that sneaks down between the buttons would have been a a huge plus for me. (also, folding covers/plugs for the bottom Ports would have been amazing. Tho i think i can design my own little plugs to fit nicely there very easily.)
in the end, I'm very pleased with this case. And if you are a fan of TPU cases (and if you aren't this one could probably change your mind on that) then this is the one to get for sure. Nice feel, Nice fit, great look, good choice for color options.
Head here for more details: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/asus/nexus7/cruzerlite-androidified-clone-army-for-asus-nexus-7
(i am actually planning to try and use this as a type of base, and modify it into a type of tpu folio smartcase since i cannot find one of those for purchase any where i might as well try to make one for myself. more details to come on that when i get the time!)

Alright. I just got home and the Trident Aegis package was waiting at my door. First impressions? Not too happy Its not like the typical Aegis cases that I have seen. Normally, they are two separate pieces with a soft silicone layer and a separate, hard polycarbonate shell. This one is a single piece with the two layers combined into one (hybrid style?). But, on top of that, the inner layer is not very soft at all. The whole case is fairly thin with a fairly hard feel to it. It makes me question its ability to absorb shock in a fall.

I will try in a bit. I just walked in the door so have a few things to do first. I like the feel of the case in the hand so far. Maybe the initial shock of it being totally different than I expected will wear off. haha
Seems to be like slapping a bumper sticker on a Mercedes... am I missing something? Id like to see some good pics..
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note II /w wireless charging.
Here are some picks. I like the form factor of the case. It feels pretty solid in the hand and has some decent grip. I'm still not over it being so different than I had expected. That is probably biasing my opinion right at the moment. For people that like a slimmer design and a one piece case, I can see it being a pretty good pick. I was expected a two-piece case with a substantial silicone layer to absorb shock. This doesn't have much of a cushioning factor.
The dust covers on the headphone jack and charging port are more like plugs than a complete covering. They are also quite stiff. This might make them less likely to get floppy, but I'm not so sure that's true if they are held open all night when charging or when listening to headphones. It's possible they'd lose some of their spring.
Getting it in and out of the case isn't too bad. It's a little stiff just because of the nature of a hybrid case, but nothing that makes me feel like I'm going to hurt the phone.There's a decent lip around the screen so placing it face down is not an issue.
The polycarbonate backing is fairly slick. People may have varying opinions about how much grip they get on the case. The sides are a softer feel which gives the edges more of a sticky feeling. Tridents logo on the back is recessed enough that it doesn't add any grip there. When you set the case on a flat service, the logo in the silicone layer doesn't even touch. This is good in that it doesn't make the phone wobbly, but it makes the phone more slippery so that it may slide of your dash for instance if you had it up there when driving.
So far my overall opinion is that its a nice case if you want a slimmer fit, one piece case that is fairly stylish looking. Personally I was looking for something a little beefier and I might keep looking since this doesn't quite fit the bill for me. But, it certainly might grow on me once I recover from the initial wtf factor. I had a really slim case on my original note (sgp ultra capsule) and that has worked out just fine. This one is certainly more protective than the ultra capsule or a standard tpu. But, it's so solid feeling that I fear it's only a slight improvement.
Feel free to ask any questions or request a specific picture. I'm taking the pictures with my note 1 and I'm not the best at setting up shots, but I'll try my best.
I have one coming in a day or so, and I have to say I am disappointed off the at that it is not dual layer. Every one so far has, so I think its pretty misleading that this one isnt. Cant wait for the Casemate Tough Case now....

I think its very misleading. The videos that Trident has on the same page as the Note 2 Aegis case are of models that are dual layer. No where do they say its single layer or "hybrid" style casing in the product description.
I will be contacting Trident to let them know of my disappointment in that area.
That's really misleading. I just ordered one thinking it would be two separate layers. I have to admit though I've been dying for an urban Armor gear which is a one piece just like this one is. So I'm pretty glad it's not two piece!

I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.

Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

How's the grip on it? I want something with some decent grip so that behemoth doesn't slip out of my hands lol.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

Yes, Diztronic is not as loose on the edges compared to Bodyglove.

Its a tight fit even after I took it off and on about 6 times.

I just with Diztronic would make their cases in more colors.
They've got a clear white frosted one as well. Just ordered one.. for my Titanium note. Seems counter (color) intuitive, but should be interesting

Please upload some pictures of that combination when you receive it, as I have been wondering about that look as well.
On diztronics website they say they only recommend the frosted clear case with the white model.
