Default Otterbox vs Trident?

so i need a case my phone. ive been looking for a case that will make it near invincible and have narrowed my choices to to the Otterbox Defender and the Trident Elektra. the defender is thinner but the elektra offers the ginormous battery which i feel may be necessarily since i cant even go from 6:30 am to 3:00pm without juice defender on its highest settings :/ any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Trident, its a win win, the Electra is just a kraken modified for the super battery. If you want indestructible and long power trident is the best

Despite my dislike of Trident's bulky design, I will concede that they are stronger than all hell. I recently picked up an Otterbox and it is everything I hoped it would be; nice sleek, minimal design. There are a couple flaws but overall, I enjoy it.

I concur with this statement. I recently (accidently) left my phone on top of my car in it's Elektra case and it fell off going around 35-40 mph. All it had was a bit of a scuff on the outer skin, hardly even noticeable.

One thing I do wish they had though was more skins to choose from. I love the case but the skin on it is so damn sticky! When I first got it the damn thing could find and pull out lint in everything it seemed. As times gone on it's lost some of it, which is nice, but it still pulls out my pockets if I'm wearing skinny jeans. You won't ever forget if you have your phone in your pocket though

Skelente, I have been looking at the Electra case and ha e a few questions. With the case on the phone how thick is it overall, and I know there is two versions of the case. If I get one ill get the newer one that has the silicone inside the plastic shell. So far do you still have the case, if you do are there any more cons about the case? And just curious what's your battery life with the insane batter in the Electra? Thanks, I'm getting over 17 hours with over 40% left in the standard battery, the Electra is a plus over the otterbox because of the extended battery.

I just got my Trident Kraken 2 for my droid x2 and only have one complaint about it and that is the notification bar is kinda hard to pull down now, other than that if feels like a great case and it fits very well to the phone. If anyone know how to make it easier to pull down the notification bar id like to know how to.

I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case for around $6 on Amazon and I love it - it doesn't add much bulk to the phone but I know its protected a lot more. I'm one of those people who will sacrifice practicality for design since there is no way I could fit a bulky phone in some of my jeans and pants!

I just got the Black Motorola Droid X2 Incipio SILICRYLIC Hard Shell Case w/ Silicone Inner core. I had the OtterBox Commuter case, sold it. Didn't like how the OtterBox fit, it was terrible, sad really. Had the commuter for my Eris & it rocked. Only thing about the Incipio so far is the stand is useless. Got it on fleabay $6. Highly recommend it. Oh & unlike the OtterBox & many other X2 cases it is strictly for the X2. No stupid X camera button.

If you can get your finger up in the corner it seems to help but this is the exact reason I dumped that case when I had my x2
