Cool Trident kraken 2 case/ electra

I recently got my Droid X2 and love it but being in the automotive industry im worried ill drop it or it will slip out of my pocket while im working around the cars in the shop. Ive seen a friends otterbox defender and i just dont like how the rubber will come off and you have to push it back in the little grove on the sides. Ive seen the Trident Kraken 2 and Electra, on amazon it says they are both 1 inch thick, i want to know is there any difference in thickness between the two, also on the Electra where you cant use a battery door im worried water or moisture will get to the inside of the phone and mess it up. If anyone can clear a these things up thanks i need a case soon.

Ive had the Electra for months now and I'll never look back, never had a problem with it, i charge my phone every other night and necer come close to it dying. It will NOT be sliding out of your pocket (we wear the same "jumpsuit overalls" in my line of work) unless you plan on being completly upside down and getting shaken at the same time

Ive been looking at amazon over the past few days and the kraken 2 is 29$ currently and the electra is 50$ currently, i charge my phone every night but from 7 am to 12 midnight i have about 30% left to 45% left of the battery, it depends on how much i use my phone per day for calls and such. The only thing pushing me away from the electra is the battery is kinda exposed, im just worried about mosturie getting it and messing up the phone, it looks like theres a little bit of rubber that the outside shell can press against to keep stuff out but thats been in the back of my mind thinking about the cases. On amazon the kraken 2 is 1 inch thick and the electra is also 1 inch thick? If you dont mind LordRalh3 meassuring it for me just the thickness is all im kinda worried about. Thanks, and i do have the get under some cars on a creeper is the only time im worried about the phone sliding out of my pocket.

I dont quite follow, there is no case that is actually waterproof? Ive never used my phone while swimming or playing in the rain and i dont recommend anyone doing that, ive not had a problem with moisture even in 90%humid with me sweating for 12 hours straight... Just under 7/8 of an inch thick and as to the battery being exposed.... Not sure what you mean, this is the most protective case made period, including otterbox, original kraken, liquipel, z shield, or any other things you've seen. The kraken 2 got horrible reviews btw, doesnt snap together properly and wears out quick, kraken original or electra is what you want.



And the creeper under the car is a non issue you'd have to litterally be upside down and getting shaken for this to fall out

Thats not as thick as i thought it would be, im starting to lean toward the electra, i guess im just more protective about my phone. Im gonna try to keep my x2 for as long as i can. The only two complaints ive read about the electra is the proximity sensor hole can get some dust in it and the sensor wont work, i can just blow that out no big deal, but ive also read where the screen protector on the electra sometimes wont let me pull the notification bar down. Thanks for the help though i just want buy something that is going to be good, cuz money dont come easy nowadays.

I would buy it now but the price went back up :/

I broke down and bought a kraken 2 case and love it, I would have likes to get the Electra but I needed a case quickly and didn't have much to speed but Ill keep my eye on the Electra and might buy it down the road.
