The Kraken case for iPad 2 from Trident offers a lot of protection for the tablet and gives it a rugged look; the silicone on the sides offers a nice grip and the manufacturer made sure to cover each and every hole, to avoid dust accumulation and/or damages. A nice touch is also the visible Apple logo on the back of the iPad 2 and the frontal Home button is also covered, something that we haven't seen at the other reviewed cases.

The integrated protective screen is really easy to work with, which means that it is easy to clean on the front and on the back, does not contain any adhesive and the touch screen is responsive enough even if we put it over a preinstalled screen shield. This also means that we do not have to pass through the "nightmare" of installing standard shields which are very sensitive in case they catch dust underneath or because of the air bubbles.

This case does not give though the possibility to sit it in different positions like for reading/typing or watching a movie and also does not feature a top cover, which means that the screen must be cleaned regularly of accumulated dust. Also, when holding the case in landscape mode, the plastic clips feel a little weird. Because of the shape of the case, it is possible we won't be able to mount the tablet on a dock for charging, so we will have to use only the original cable for this.

While looking at the main website, we can find out that this case comes in more colors besides black, like blue, green, pink or red.

The Kraken Case for the iPad 2 can be found in the online store for about 59.9 Euros.
