First layer is a silicone case that?s not super heavy duty or thick, and it covers the back of the iPad 2 and wraps around and covers some of the front bezel surrounding the display. The silicone case is soft and smooth, and it won?t scratch the iPad 2?s surface. It also makes it very easy to put it on or take it off of the tablet. The case doesn?t cover the front bezel too close to the screen and get in the way of using apps that utilize the touch screen near the edge. The silicone case has thick, reinforced corners to help absorb shock and impact force. The silicone cover also comes with port covers to ensure they are protected from the elements.


Outside of the silicone cover, the Trident Kraken Series Case has a layer of polycarbonate hard plastic cover protection. The hard plastic cover is durable and has cutouts for the ports, the rear camera as well the silicone tablet handles that has extra padding and ribbed for a better grip. The hard cover has a center cutout hole to let the Apple logo show through, but has a piece of plastic over the hole so that water and dust don?t get through. The hard cover also has cutout lines for the speaker grill, while it doesn?t block water entirely, the speaker grill is lined with a micro dust filter to block out dust. The hard cover is curved to form fit the iPad 2, and has two strong locking clamps on top to securely lock the front cover to the case.

The covers are easy to use and block out dust, moisture and other particles from the iPad 2?s ports. The case has raised buttons covering the iPad 2?s power button, volume buttons as well as the Home button on the front. Though these controls are under the covers, they are very easy to use, especially the Home button.
