Trident Kraken II iPad 2 / 3 / 4 Rugged Case review

“Release the Kraken!” Trident Case has created the Kraken II for iPad 2 and New iPad 3 & 4 owners who seek an affordable way to protect their precious tablet from just about anything that life throws at it. This rugged case features 3 layers of protection to shield the encased device from dirt, drops, shocks, impacts, scratches, moisture and liquid spills.

Editor's Rating 

The Kraken II consists of a durable silicone inner-sleeve and a hard plastic outer-shell. Upon fitting the iPad 2 (or new iPad 3) into the silicon skin, the tablet is then placed into the shell and the screen shield is firmly locked via hinge-style clips. Not exactly a quick fit, but once the tablet is enclosed, the user can feel confident in knowing their valuable possession is safe from the most common pending disasters. Another impressive aspect of this design is the incorporated screen filter for the speaker grill and rubber covers for the audio-jack, USB port, volume-rocker, home button and power switch. All of which will help keep dirt, dust and moisture out.

Pros

• 2012 Golden Case Awards nominee for Best Rugged Case
• Rubberized sides for improved grip
• Plugs to protect buttons and port

Overall: GOOD

The Kraken II is one of the better rugged and tough designs that you can find at this price point and a best case scenario for some of the most active iPad 2 / New iPad owners.
