The first Samsung Galaxy S5 cases debut

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is set to make its debut later this month at a special Samsung Unpacked event, on February 24th. The phone has been the subject of intense rumour and speculation for months now, and now the final pieces are beginning to fall into place. We’re expecting a 5.2″ QHD display, a faster Exynos processor and 3 GB of RAM. The phone may even debut in a metal version – a big change from the plastic that Samsung have made their name with.

Today, one more piece falls into place – as we’re happy to announce the world’s first Samsung Galaxy S5 cases! These come from case-maker Trident, and are called the Aegis and the Kraken. Let’s take a look at these powerful and colourful cases!

The Trident Aegis is a slim yet protective case, composed of a hardened polycarbonate shell and silicone corners for impact resistance. The hybrid construction that makes this case an effective protector also make it look nice, with black silicone and contrasting red,  blue, green or black polycarbonate. All buttons and features remain accessible via covers or cutouts, so you can enjoy whatever crazy new features Samsung has cooked up this time.

The Trident Kraken is a heavier case than the Aegis, offering improved protection at the expense of bulk. The case has a three layer system, with a silicone inner cover combining with two polycarbonate exoskeletons. The silicone shell can be used by itself, or combined with one or both the polycarbonate cases for the desired level of protection and size. The outler layer of the Kraken AMS includes a kickstand, so you’re able to easily watch videos, browse the web or play games. The Kraken AMS also comes with a screen protector in the box, and full compatibility with Trident’s AMS accessories.
