[Q] Casemate Tough size vs Trident Aegis

---

Hey guys, I've been searching around and I can't find a definite answer. How much thicker is the Aegis compare to the Tough? I know the CM Tough doesn't cover the ports while the Aegis does. I have the TPU S, Casemate Pop, as well as the Bodyglove kickstand case currently.

Ive been running trident aegis for 5 months now. Its flat out amazing! It has flip open covers for usb and 3.5mm head phone jack. the phone is 150% protected. I have 4 batteries and 2 wall chargers so i remove the case daily for 5 months now and its still 99.9% new. Worth the money plus its tough and looks amazing

I actually just switched from the Aegis and went with the Casemate Tough Case. The Aegis, although a great case, was bugging me with it's thickness, super rubbery grip (hard to put into and pull from pockets), and the port covers irritated me too.

The Casemate has awesome grip without being sticky like the Aegis, it's definitely thinner and it feels SOOO much better in my hands. I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with the Casemate for a long time.

maybe Ill sell the Aegis

Im using the aegis and the rubber isnt sticky. I like it but it does make the phone a bit thicker

I've used both the casemate and aegis extensively, and I'd have to say the casemate feels nicer and more premium overall. It offers the same protection with a slimmer profile.

However, the reason I got the aegis in the first place was because I got bored of the lack of color on the casemate.

At the moment, I'm using my basic TPU matte back black because it seems to be enough protection for work and I slip the casemate on when I head for the outdoors.

If you are into winter sports like snowboarding, I would get the aegis, because I lost my phone on the slope once and looking for a black case was challenging to say the least. The bright blue/red of the aegis would stand out easily against the snow.

I just ordered a casemate tough to replace my aegis so I will get pics up later thsi week if you are still deciding. I love the Trident case but lately it has been turning the phone off in my pocket. Apparently the power button works too good so a bit of pressure from normal activities is holding it down and turning off the phone.

Also, the Casemate Tough Case is $35 on their site. On Amazon brand new it's $18. BUT, I bought mine "open box" with a "like New" rating for $8 on Amazon! Those cheapy flexible TPU cases are more expensive than that.

It got shipped to me in it's original packaging and in brand new, flawless condition.

That would be great, thank you!

Cool casemate should be in tomorrow, I have tpu cases as well so I will take a few shots of all 3 together.

Case just came in and here are some side by side pics

The casemate is basically right between the size of both cases. The main differences between it and trident is that the ports are not covered. Also the corners are hard plastic on casemate and soft rubber on Trident.
