I ran into Ballistic at CES 2013, and now had the opportunity to test out their Hard Case for Samsung Galaxy S3. The cases are great for outdoor enthusiasts and those into extreme sports.

Here are 2 overview videos from their website–>

I did 2 video reviews of the products as well–>

Part one a product hands on review–>

Part 2 with a brief comparison to the Trident AMS Kraken case.

I was quite impressed by the Ballistic Hard Case. It is solid, seemingly unbreakable and a great value as well.

I liked the cover over the screen, the rubber and solid feel as well. The only thing I would change might be to make the kick stand for media viewing metal and offer more colors like camouflage green.

Here are specifications of the case from Ballistic’s website–>

I spent 6 years in the Army National Guard 1/221st Armor Company, and this type of case would have been great in a tank or in the field during military exercises.

I would like green or blue personally.

Overall I am impressed by Ballistic’s Products and their quality of design.
