Ballistic BLCSX0932M385 Case for Samsung Galaxy SIII SG MAXX - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black and White

I am currently very pleased with this product. When I first got the S3, the guy at the Sprint store suggested I get an Otterbox Defender or some other robust protector. I am familiar with the Otterbox brand, but there was no way I was going to pay $50+ at the store. The very same day I got my phone a friend told me about some other brand with rubber edges that is rated from like a 15 foot drop. When I started searching for Otterbox on Amazon, I saw a blue case with rubber edges that cost less than the Otterbox and was in blue! I saw it was the Ballistic SG Maxx, saw it was cheaper than the Otterbox Defender, read the reviews and was convinced. The Galaxy S3 is an amazing and beautiful phone, but it does not feel very sturdy. I am clumsy and the S3 feels like it will shatter on impact if I were to sneeze on it too hard. The Ballistic SG Maxx takes care of that easily. It has four layers of protection which may sound like a lot and like it may totally roid out and bulk up your phone too much, but the thickness it gives the S3 is very welcomed and comfortable. The big, rubber edges are perhaps a tiny teeny bit bigger than they need to be, but they do not get in the way and I like the way it makes my phone look like its been working out or wearing some cool, futuristic armor. I feel I can comfortably drop my phone from 15ft and it can fall on any side, including the face, and it will be very well protected...not that I'd start throwing my phone on the ground for no reason. And then there's the belt clip...which just perfectly ties this product together. I enjoy my Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Big Macs a bit more than I should so I have a few extra pounds...ah what the heck and let me be honest; I'm fat and have gotten used to wearing my phone on my hip. The belt clip, although it may look too big at first, is not. My love handles totally don't get in the way and I can get to my phone with ease, but if i do get much fatter, I might have to start lifting the folds to get to the phone. Is there anything wrong with the SG Maxx? Not really. There a few minor complaints, but they don't detract from how good this product is overall. One little concern I had, and another reviewer mentioned this, is that although the screen protector is sturdy and doesn't interfere with the touch screen, it kind of makes the screen look a little grainy. The other complaint I have, which is a first world problem, is that the belt clip does not have a kickstand like the Otterbox Defender. The Otterbox also costs anywhere from $3-$7 more (or even more depending on how greedy the seller is) so I don't think a kickstand is worth that much. In conclusion, finally, Ballistic SG Maxx is freaking awesome. I give it five very well deserved stars. And it comes in blue, so that makes it extra cool, but Amazon has no option for a sixth star.

I purchased this Ballistic case a couple of months ago and it has been great! The Rearth Ringbo Screen Protectors I purchased at the same time, on the other hand, were worthless. You can see my comments about the worthless Rearth Ringbo Screen Protectors under that disappointing product's reviews. I was looking for a case to preserve my very fine Galaxy S3 for the two years remaining on my contract. It Is a fabulous phone, but its beautiful, thin, slippery design was regularly slipping out of anything that was holding it, including any pocket or my hands. For Android phones, it appeared the toughest cases where the Ballistic and the OtterBox Defender. I chose the Ballistic because it was clear from from several video demonstrations this case protected the phone from all kinds of mayhem, and I thought the design concept was superior to the OtterBox. Having the more shock absorbent silicone layer next to the phone, inside the sturdy polycarbonate layer, made more sense to me. Impact from a sharp point would be distributed by the poly carbonate layer across the silicone inside. The extra protection at the corners just made even more sense. A few summary bullet points: 1. While this case makes the phone larger, it is an excellent vehicle for holding on to the phone! I no longer drop it. The corner protectors are great for my thumb and second finger to hold and control the phone and the polycarbonate back has just enough tactile feel to stay in my hand. In addition, while the volume and on/off buttons work easily through the case, I am no longer accidentally pushing them as I try to hold onto the slippery art object. I think the feel of the phone is great in the case, and it makes using the phone a pleasure instead of an adventure. 2. I am using the screen protector that came with the case, and it is perfectly satisfactory. After the utter fail by the Rearth Ringbo screen protectors I just assembled the phone in the Ballistic case. It is true the screen protector creates a very small amount of graininess, but functionally it is no issue and touch control is fine. Since my goal was to have this phone last two years, I had always intended to use the Ballistic screen cover on top of the failed Rearth Ringbo screen protectors. For the added protection that it provides, I am a big fan. (It is a separate piece so it can be left off the case.) 3. The holster seems to be sturdy and the clamp has room for a belt, so it can slide along the belt. Access to all buttons and insertion points is preserved. 4. The only con I have is that the return button at the lower right hand corner of the screen sometimes is a little difficult to use on the first push because of the silicone knob from the corner protector. It is never impossible to use, however, and I love knowing the phone is not going to break when I drop it, anywhere.

This product gets a full 5 stars. I have bought several different gel phone protector cases while having my Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone, and found this one to be by far the best - and which I have now permanently on the phone. The gel protector case is very sturdy and from the months I have had the protector case on the phone it has not shown any signs of wear. Also there is a solid back plate which fits round the back of the gel protector case to give it extra protection from impacts. The side buttons on the phone can be easily operated and the holes for the ear-phone jack and USB ports have flaps which protect them. I particularly like the solid plastic screen protector. Unlike stick-on plastic sheet protectors this is a solid protector for the screen and is held in place by the gel protector case and does not require messy stick-on adhesive to hold it in place. The phone screen is responsive even with the screen protector on. Recently, I had to remove the gel case to fit a wireless (QI) power charger receiver to the phone to allow wireless charging (so don't have to plug USB power cable in to charge). After a quick dust, the phone had been well protected by the case and looked like new. I saw that the phone was able to wirelessly (QI) charge without the case, I then replaced the gel case and the phone was able to wirelessly (QI) power charge with the case on. I do not generally write reviews or recommendations, but I would fully recommend this product, and have written this recommendation in the hope that rigid plastic screen protectors and this type of armoured case do become mainstream.

This case is very strong and it does the job. I can recommend to anybody to get it. Quick delivery also. Thank you.

It's the best protective cover for Galaxy SIII, I received it on last estimated date of Delivery. But, I received brand new Ballistic SG MAXX

I purchased this case the day I got my phone but the screen protector cracked (left it in a truck center console for a weekend and it slammed down on it or cuz of the heat) and I couldn't find another anywhere so I bought this case and it was just like my old one! Best case! Fits really well and comes with the gel and hard protector and the detachable screen protector. Also the belt clip but I never use it. Great buy! Reccommend it cuz I drop my phone a lot and its still unharmed!

Hab heute das Handy (S3) nach der MTB Runde aufs Autodach gelegt und leider vergessen. Die Räder hinten rauf und losgefahren... bei 70 hat es auf einmal hinten gescheppert... Blick in den Rückspiegel.. da hat was grosses Schwarzes das Rad getroffen und knallt gerade auf die Fahrbahn, springt auf - oh gott mein handy...) nochmal auf die Fahrbahn.. nochmals auf - da de rGegenverkehr voll ins Auto rein .. es lösen sich Teile und fliegen durch die Luft und im hohen Bogen in den Acker... Bin mal stehen geblieben udn hab überlegt.. machts nen Sinn umzudrehen und die Teile zu suchen oder soll ichs gleich liegen lasssen... na ich wollt dann doch sehen ... zurück und suchen... Finde alle Teile (auch das Handy)... die äusserste Schale dürfe es bei der Kollission mit dem auto geknackt haben... die ist hinüber... die Schutfolie hat es rausgerissen die 2. Hartplastik hat sich auch gelöst.. das Gummi war noch am Handy.. das Handy funktioniert einwandfrei und KEIN Glasbruch.. ein Wunder!!! da das äussere Hardcover hin ist, hab ich mi jetzt noch so ein Teil bestellen müssen.. aber das Handy hats überlebt!!
