Trident Aegis Motorola Xoom Hard Case in Red
Zeus wore an Aegis, so why not your tablet? After all, it is seemingly the all-mighty ruler of your own personal world. The Aegis by Trident Case is a full-body protective shield hard case for the Motorola Xoom, and also features a built-in, collapsible media stand for enhancing its function and usability.
Pros
- Access to all device controls/features
- Anti-slip pads for improved grip-ability
- Includes a self-applicable screen protector
- Charm attachment feature
Cons
- Covered buttons have reduced touch-sensitivity
- Flimsy stand design can easily detach
- Media stand only offers one viewing angle
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 Motorola Xoom is destined to encounter mishaps and harmful elements along the way. So again I ask, why not fit your device 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 back shell, combining to protect the tablet against shocks, abrasions, dirt, dust, moisture, liquid spills, and most likely, some minor accidental drops.

The later may be avoided thanks to anti-slip pads on the back, which have a nice contoured shape for your hand and a soft feel for griping the tablet comfortably and secure. You’ll also appreciate the added screen protector that you can apply for enhancing the case’s overall defense (cleaning/installation kit and instructions included).
The design maintains access and use of all Motorola Xoom controls and features, including both front/rear-facing cameras. It also incorporates dust-filters and plugs to keep the power-port, audio-jack and speakers clear of dirt and debris. Consider yourself fortunate to own a Motorola Xoom, because unlike the design for other devices, this Aegis has a built-in, collapsible tablet stand for hands-free viewing purposes. On the bottom edge of the stand is yet one more added feature, a small hole for attaching a key chain or any other charm accessories.

|---|---|
| 4.5 | Design: Amazing Here is another protective design by Trident that keeps added bulk and weight to a minimum. I really like the slight outward curvature of the bottom sides, which allowed me to hold the tablet more comfortably and firmly secure. The Aegis is available in five different colors for complimenting Zeus, or Athena, including red, pink, blue, black and ballistic green. |
| 4.0 | Functionality: Great The media stand only offers one viewing angle, but along with the charm holder, these are features that you don’t often find on many other protector case designs. The covered buttons are a bit hard to push, but you will have clear access to all controls and functions, including both cameras. |
| 4.0 | Protection: Great Aptly named, this modern day protective shield will defend the idol you worship from bumps, dings, shocks, dirt, dust, scratches, moisture, spills, and perhaps a few minor accidental drops in between. Even better, the case comes with a self-applicable scratch and smudge-resistant screen protector. |
| 4.5 | Quality: Amazing Unless Zeus casts a lightning bolt toward this case, its silicone skin and flexible polycarbonate shell should prove very resilient. The loose-fitted metal hinges can easily cause the stand to detach from to the case body, but this is not much of a concern knowing that Trident cases are backed by a one-year limited warranty. |
| 4.5 | Value: Amazing For $39.95, this is one great case-solution that won’t leave you with the feeling of buyer’s remorse. |
| 4.3 | Overall: Great Although its name is inspired by classical mythology, you can certainly believe in the great function and protection the Aegis provides, as well as trust the quality you’ll get from the Trident Case brand. |
