Kraken II Dockable Case for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S

Many people, including children, use the iPhone as an assistive technology device. The Kraken II Dockable case is an ideal case to protect your iPhone. The Kraken II Dockable Case is great for both children and adults who need superior protection for their iPhone. The case will protect against most bumps and drops so there is less need to worry when using the iPhone.


The Kraken II Dockable Case is a rugged and protective case for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. It features three layers of protection and a few cool features. The first layer of protection is a silicon inner shell. The inner shell is attached to the second layer of protection which is a plastic outer shell. The third layer of protection is a build in screen protector which protects the screen against damage. The outer plastic is a soft touch material that feels nice in the hand and does not show finger prints. All of the ports and buttons are covered with rubber but are still usable. The headphone port, mute switch, and dock connector are covered by rubber flaps to keep out dust. The lock and volume buttons are easy to feel and provide good tactile feed back. The home button is flush with the front of the case and can be hard to locate by feel. The phone speaker is covered by a dust shield that works well. Much like the Kraken AMS, case the Kraken II Dockable Case has a kickstand on the back which is perfect for video chat and much more. On the bottom of the case is a thick silicon flap that can be easily removed to dock the case. It is not common for a rugged case to be able to be dockable. However, with the flap off it is difficult to push the home button because it is very recessed.


At the time of the posting, the case costs about $30 from Amazon.com. Trident says the following about their docking feature of the case:

"The bottom of the case features a removable silicone sleeve which allows the case to be placed in a docking station without the hassle of removing the case."

The case does add bulk to the phone, and makes it heavier and less sleek, but if you are looking for protection, and the ability to dock your iPhone this case is for you.

Yesterday my friend Annette and I took a day trip to Pa. My mission was to see Longwood Gardens Orchid extravaganza and make some shots with the big camera. I must say I was a bit disappointed. I did not even take one orchid shot...but that's another blog...after our visit to Longwood we headed out to some nearby antique shops in Chadds Ford. That's when the iPhone went to work. I love antiques and there were some really cool ones in Chadds Ford. So we spent some time just cruising the three level antique barn of The Brandywine River Antiques Market, making some shots. Afterward we rambled back country roads looking for shots. We found a cool old structure so we stopped and made a few shots there. The app Picturesque is new in my painting app folder. It saves the image at the size of the original captured resolution. It has a cool one filter only look with no options to deliver any customized looks; but no fear, layers can be combined to achieve the look you want.
I hope you sign up for my iPhone workshop on March 10 at Horizon Photography Workshops, in Chesapeake City, Maryland to get you jump started capturing and processing images with your iPhone.
I am also working on an advanced iPhone Class which will build on my initial iPhone class. It will include, layers in many methods, app blending, image blending, masking, using words in your images, levels, curves, shooting for HDR, Slow Shutter exposures and much more so stay tuned for future class dates on my next level of iPhone image capture and processing.
