I ordered mine 2 days ago.

One thing I like better than the Otterbox(In theory, I haven't got my hands on this yet) is the soft rubber is on the inside. It is the one thing I didn't like about the Defender on my Captivate. Although the SGSIII Defender is using much stiffer rubber. But I think it's worth a try, with the coupon, it was $30 with free shipping. If I dont like it, I can just return it

Let us know what you think after you've got it on and are using it

For the peeps that would like to see it in action, I found a youtube video showing it off.

I got a shipping notice from www.mobile-stop.com that they shipped my red/black Kraken case today. Glad to hear the screen protector is not built in, have never seen one that looked good. I don't need my phone waterproof, just in a tough case with a belt clip, for when I am at work. I anticipate using my diztronic case when not working, and putting the Kraken on, when I get to work.

That video made me want this case even more lol. I gotta get the phone first. The case looks extremely solid.

Did you get a shipping notification?

I ordered a couple things from there a couple weeks ago and received them without a shipping confirmation. There was a tracking number on the package but for some reason they never sent it.

yep, notification sent 7/31 and arrived on my doorstep in ohio yesterday

soooooooooooooooooooo disappointing that it doesn't have a built in screen protector, completely loses appeal to me, I honestly think you can get a slightly less bulky case and get more than adequate protection (even on the toughest drops) but its the screen that is most (and stays most vulnerable)

I've honestly never seen a phone die from being dropped (other than screen shatter) or if it did, it was a flip style and the flip broke

(and this is from years of selling cell phones and working in service and repair locations)

guess the hunt is on for a screen protector.


Too bad I can't take the one off my case mate phantom and stick it on and then put it in this case haha

Sorry to say but a screen protector will not stop a screen from shattering/cracking not even a built in screen protector. They are mainly to keep your screen free of scratches.

I have never had a screen protector on my Samsung Epic 4G and the screen still looks like new. If you get a nice case that absorbs impacts (Trident Kraken, Ballistic SG Maxx, Otterbox, ect....) your screen SHOULD not crack/shatter w/o a screen protector. Without trying to crack/shatter it.

But w/o a screen protector it may get a scratch here and there. Keep in mind the gorilla glass is already made to be scratch resistant.

Take a phone in a case with a built in screen protector and bang it into the corner of a square hard wood table and see what happens. Chances are the screen protector will either be right on the screen or flex enough to hit the screen and crack it.
But from a fall straight on the screen if the case is designed well, it'll have enough lip around the screen to take the impact.

Hence no need for a screen protector. Or a removeable one for people who don't want one.

The only benefit to a built in screen protector is the water resistant it would offer.

I'm actually really happy its not built in. Built in screen protectors usually look horrible and can't be replaced. Like was said, the only benefit to it being built in is water resistance.
