coming from a guy that had the body glove case, i can tell you the trident would be better. My body glove case broke after 1 drop from the corner and it wasnt even a hard drop. maybe 1.5-2 feet from trying to insert my phone into my pocket and slipped. so anyway, body glove case broke and the phone did fall off in place, phone was fine however the body glove case was unusable. The corner where it fell chipped so i cant snap the bezel in place, either way it made no difference cause the bezel also broke. It looked and felt great when i had it, but in terms of protection, i think they are similar to any hardcase you can buy off ebay for less than 5 dollars. except the body glove case has the rubber texture on the back
