Trident Aegis Nook Tablet/Color Hard Case in Pink
Zeus wore an aegis, so why not your e-reader tablet? The Aegis by Trident Case is a modern day protective tablet hard case shield for the Nook Color (or Nook Tablet), which combines durable silicone and polycarbonate materials to defend the gadget against bumps, dirt, scratches, spills and accidental drops.
Pros
- Access to all device controls/features
- Double-thick silicone insulate for drop protection
- Includes an audio-jack extension
- Comes with a self-applicable screen protector
Cons
- Difficult to push buttons/pull-out plugs
- Difficult to access microSD slot
- Not reliable against heavier drops/impacts
Overview
Although powerful, Zeus never had control over The Fates and Destiny, which may explain why he wore the aegis, a protective shield made of goatskin. Whether or not you believe in mythology and/or fate, you should certainly accept the fact that your Nook Color (or Nook Tablet) is destined to encounter mishaps and harmful elements along the way. So again I ask, why not fit your e-reader with this Aegis by Trident?

It’s not made of goatskin (yes, such cases do exist), rather this two-piece design consists of a silicone inner-sleeve and a polycarbonate outer-shell, combining to protect the device against shocks, abrasions, dirt, dust, moisture, and liquid spills. The four corners of the silicone insulate are twice as thick, which provide extra bounce and forgiveness for your gadget to survive accidental drops as well. Although fate might dictate otherwise, drops might not be much of a concern due to the contoured backside that matches your hand for a more comfortable and secure hold.
The Aegis maintains access to the device’s buttons, audio-jack, USB port and microSD card slot. The package also includes an audio-jack extender that is compatible with all 3.5mm types for connecting the device to car audio cords, home stereo systems, and more. Complimenting the design for protection, the case incorporates covers for the buttons, plugs for port/audio-jack, and dust-filters for the speakers, keeping all of them safe from dirt, debris and moisture. And just when you think this design is enough to satisfy your needs for protection, the case also comes with a self-applicable scratch/smudge-resistant screen protector (cleaning/installation kit and instructions included).

|---|---|
| 4.5 | Design: Amazing Here is another protective design by Trident that keeps added bulk and weight to a minimum. I really like the countered backside design, which allowed me to hold the tablet more comfortably and firmly secure. The Aegis is available in six different colors for complimenting Zeus, or Athena, including red, yellow, pink, blue, ballistic green or black. |
| 4.0 | Functionality The Aegis keeps the tablet fully functional while encased. Though the covered buttons are a tad less responsive to touch and the plugs sometimes difficult to uncork, one can easily get passed this knowing all controls/features are better protected. Bonus points for the included audio-jack extension which allows the user to plug the device into a car/home stereo. |
| 4.0 | Protection Aptly named, this modern day protective shield will defend the idol you worship from bumps, dings, shocks, dirt, dust, scratches, moisture, spills, and accidental drops in between. Even better, the package includes a self-applicable scratch/smudge-resistant screen protector with cleaning and installation kit. |
| 4.5 | Quality Unless Zeus casts a lightning bolt toward the Aegis, the silicone skin and flexible polycarbonate shell design should prove highly resilient. Though we don’t think you'll ever need to dispute this one, all Trident cases are backed by a one-year limited warranty. |
| 4.0 | Value Though $39.95 is higher than the average back protector, this better than the average design won’t leave you with the feeling of buyer’s remorse. |
| 4.2 | Overall: Great Although its name is inspired by classical mythology, you can certainly believe in the great protection and function that the Aegis provides, as well as trust the excellent quality you’ll get from the Trident Case brand. |
