#1 Smartphone Case for Construction: Trident Kraken A.M.S.

Trident Kraken Am s

While the Kraken A.M.S. cases for iPhone and Android devices lack the waterproof protection of the Lifeproof Fre Power, it more than makes up for that feature with some serious drop protection and a lineup of useful attachments.

Plus, they’re an insane value at around $14 on Amazon, as of this writing.

The Kraken cases feature three layers of protection using both shock-absorbing TPE and hard polycarbonate on the interior and exterior. The Kraken protects your device from dust, drops from up to 4 feet and, though not completely waterproof, does protect from up to 8 inches of rain falling in winds of up to 40 mph for one hour.

But the standout feature of these rugged cases is the attachment port on back. The case comes with an aluminum stand on the back for propping your phone up. But when you remove it, you can use one of several attachments including a windshield mount, bike mount, tripod mount, clamp, universal clip, cord manager and more.
