Trident Kraken AMS Exoskeleton Case for Apple iPhone 4G / 4S
Skip, rugged phone case likely uses water-repellent coating but brand discloses nothing about PFAS content.
The Trident Kraken AMS case is marketed for water resistance and durability, which typically involves PFAS-containing water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) treatments. Trident makes no public statement about PFAS content or alternatives. Without material transparency or third-party testing, you cannot determine exposure risk.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
