Do a search for "Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case For Dell Streak 5." Amazon USA has them for $15.00 (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...icone+Skin+Jelly+Case+For+Dell+Streak+5&ajr=0). A website from India carries all 10 colors (http://time2shop.in/en/dell/99-amzer-silicone-skin-jelly-case-for-dell-streak-5-mini.html), but Amazon only carries 4 colors. This case puts the rest of those silicon cases to shame. Appears to not add too much to the mighty Streak's slim profile. Buying the green one. eBay only has the ones for Streak 7.
This vendor is the only one I could find on eBay with the Amzer cases for the 5 inch Streak. I have never dealt with that seller.
Oops, looks like someone had started a thread about this case last year; sorry for the duplicate.

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

Finally got mine in the mail today in blue. It's awesome!! I screwed up putting the screen protector in though and got a bunch of lint under it so ended up having too throw it away. I don't need a screen protector anyways. Case looks and fits awesome.

Does anyone know if the U.S. carriers, or specifically ATT / T-Mobile, sell the White Nexus 6 ? I saw the Blue Nexus, and it looks ok on the front and back, but not digging the purplish looking trim sides, which much prefer those to be aluminum color like on the White.
Or can skins like from DBrand or Slick Wraps cover those up ?
I know it doesn't really help you too much, but I work in a Corporately owned Sprint store and we do not carry the white Nexus 6.
Skins such as Slick wraps on the side can cover it up. Only U.S. Cellular sells White Nexus 6. Everybody else is Midnight Blue unless you get it from Motorola / Play Store (or eBay/Craigslist/Swappa as well)
US Celluar is the only carrier with the CW model. I don't know if you can buy it from them W/O service but you could always try to.
Also a skin can cover up the blue back, but you still have the blue frame as opposed to the silver one. SW makes frame skins to cover up most of it.
Anyone got any case recommendations? has to be UK because that's were I live. Preferably with colour red in it but doesn't have to be.
Check out amazon. Cases under a tenner with free delivery. Go for a hard case. They have hundreds of red cases and mixed colour. I have a black and a blue version of the MobilePro Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation (G3) Case Black Heavy Duty Shockproof Defender Cover.
You could sling it through a window and it'll be fine lol
I wanted to review 3 cases by Artech 21. It will be 1 review since all 3 pretty much the same. I will add a few notes about any differences though.
Some back history:
I have been a big fan of Poetic cases for quite awhile, using them on different phones and the case quality always stayed the same. I also have a gold s7 edge. I used each case for about 12-20 hours to ensure each was tested properly.
I was approached to review Artech 21 and figured, sure, it couldn't hurt and I would broaden my case knowledge. I received 3 cases, I am not sure of the naming, so I will do by description:
Case 1: Black and steel silver
Case 2: Clear and champaign gold
Case 3: Navy and champaign gold
Case 1 & 3 were same style, and 3 was a little different.
I have always aimed for clear cases, going back to HTC Evo where I made clear battery doors to showcase the insides. The first case I went with after stripping the poetic off, was case 2. The entire case is clear except for the trim. The first thing I felt was no feeling... or the lack of feeling. I felt that the lack of any texture would mean I would be shot putting my phone when I went for a run. When I went to take the case off, I notices that it was actually 2 pieces. I am not sure if that was by design or not but more of that later.
Next case I put on was case 3. Ok, so we have texture now. But the texture runs horizonal instead of vertical. It still was textured and fit quite nice.
Finally I went with case 1. YES! we have vertical texture that feels like a gritty piece of sandpaper. This bad boy won't come out of my hand even if I ran like the Flash! Hmmmm but I now have silver, black, and gold... its like a collage of metal.
Back to case 1, if you remember, I realized the 2 pieces. So I did some surgery, I put the gold trim on the black case. It looks very nice and I have some grit to hang on to.
Drop test..... yes, I had an unplanned drop test I went to put my phone into my shorts and it clipped my pocket and went to the sidewalk about 5 feet from me. It hit square on the top right corner and all ok!! The case now has a very cool battle scar.
Overall impressions:
I am no longer using my poetic case. I am with my black/gold mod case. After the drop test, I know 100% this case can handle what I would throw (no pun intended) at it. I did notice that the edge of the case seemed to be a smidge higher than the poetic. The poetic is "slimmer" than this case. If you want super slim, I would go with the poetic but I think this gives me a nice mix of slim and protection.

I am adding images that I took next to the poetic. Amazon has much better images of each case than I could take.
They reached out to me as well, said they would offer me a coupon code, but then never did..
There is some dispute between artech 21 and xda, not sure if it has been resolved but I also received cases and reviewed them here and my thread was pulled by a mod. I suspect this one will be too.
Thread closed.
Artech 21 can reach out to XDA to advertise the right way. In the meantime, these threads are not permitted.
