Does anyone have any news on this, i ordered a fair few of these from different web sites and as of these last two days every one of my suppliers has emailed me to tell me this product is no longer avaliable.

when looking for a case for my galaxy i had read a lot of reviews for various covers and the genuine galaxy case was the one that people buzzed about, so i set about finding the best place and price for one and mobile fun came up trumps, the case fits like a glove and complements the phone, really good choice so protect the front of your Samsung Galaxy S3 from scratches, scrapes and front-on impacts with the official flip cover. This cover clips onto the back of your device thanks to a flexible rubber bumper without adding any bulk, and then folds over the front when not in use.This means that the most important part of the phone, the screen, is protected from harm without the added thickness and weight normally associated with flip cases.

I have been using these on my Galaxy S2 and Tab. I didn't like the idea when I was browsing for a new case on Ebay, but when I got it, I soon changed my mind!
If anyone finds anything like it then please post on this thread!

looks like a great idea....but i think i would prefer if the clear stand part be black or grey in colour instead
They come in many different colours and styles. And with stand / without stand
I found something very similar (or identical):

There are other variants on alibaba, the only problem is that the minimum quantity is usually 50-100 pieces :-/
EDIT: found it on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I bought one before seeing this thread.
When I receive it, I'll tell you if its good/bad etc
when i find something good
，will let you know
I searched on ebay for "galaxy note kickstand case TPU" and got a result:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I eneded up ordering for around $8 the kickstand case with included car charger and 3 screen protectors. Will reply here with a review here once I get it.
I bought one of these too. I figure you can't go wrong for $5.

For $8 I got a car charger, 3 screen protectors and the case.
The case:
Black TPU and Grey Silicon.
Kickstand is Silicon and a part of the case's mainframe.
The Kickstand works well.
The TPU is knife-proof and tamper proof, but dont drop it from a 2.5+ metre height.
The TPU has textured sides which help with grip A LOT.
All the holes and ports (pen) are easily accessible.
The buttons are covered but NOT hard to press.
Whole case is quite thin, so its not very "drop proof" but very resistant to heat and cuts.
Did I say it is thin, so it still fits in my pockets easily.
Verdict: 9/10
This has replaced my Carbon Fibre case (which was protective). This case is a MUST HAVE for any NOTE owners.
Sidenote: I also bought the GPS holder ($6) from the same seller "telegaming", it is also a high quality piece.

On Saturday, we headed out to our local mall in an attempt to find a case for our new Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 that we purchased off of Craigslist. As no surprise to us it was easier to find accessories than the actual phone. As you know if any phones are out there, they were probably a pre order. Sprint stores just began selling today.
AT&T had the best selection actually. There were a few Casemate cases, Body Glove, the Samsung flip cover thingamajig, and this Ballistic case. Since there wasn't an Otterbox anywhere to be found locally, I pulled the trigger on the Ballistic case.
On their website it appears that the silicone portions are very well manufactured. You don't see the little ridge going around it (probably from two pieces put together) and the other imperfections. That makes it really look like a premium product. Otterbox pretty much has their manufacturing process down to a science.
One thing they note on the clip is that the device can only be mounted faced towards the inside. This is great, but I do like option on most Otterbox Defender cases where I can turn it outwards. The clip swivels 360 degrees. That's definitely a plus. It's annoying when clips can't spin the full 360 degrees.
Here are some details from their website:
It’s time to live your life to the Maxx. The Samsung GALAXY S III’s minimal and organic design is reflected in the smooth and non-linear lines of the device. Its human-centric nature provides an ergonomic and comfortable experience with enhanced usability.
Our Ballistic SG Maxx Series offers 4 layers of the best engineered drop protection on the market. This baby offers a durable holster, port covers, a no-slip grip, reinforced corners, but most important a replaceable, rigid, screen protector that provides amazing impact protection.
Advanced four layers of protection
Layer 1 - Molded screen protector provides impact protection for your screen
Layer 2 - Ballistic shock absorbent polymer
Layer 3 - Tough impact resistant polycarbonate shell
Layer 4 - Soft silicone equipped with reinforced Ballistic Corners™
Includes lay-on-table feature - screen will not touch the surface when layed flat on a table
No-slip stability when layed face down
Integrated port covers
Extremely durable horizontal holster
Rigid screen protector provides impact protection and is user replaceable

If you really think you're going to stay with this device and case for a while the user replaceable screen protector might be an advantage to you. The plastic screen protector will probably offer more impact protection that a ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD or something similar. However, especially when looking a white screen, you can tell how much worse the view is. You can see all the colors of the rainbow. This does happen with most Defender screen protectors I've seen and to a little extent in other products. Good news here is that you can replace that portion with a ZAGG or whatever you desire.
You can lay the phone face down with this case. I find this handy in office environments where you don't want people to know that everyone including your mother are blowing up your phone with texts or Facebook messages.
I'm not keeping this case, but it does offer a lot of protection. I think I'll keep my S3 sleek and sexy for now.
MSRP $49.99 (cost $50 at AT&T store)

I already know one person who might respond that this is not the SG MAXX case, but it is. Just saying that I honestly don't believe they would push out 10 of these cases to one store with some the wrong labeling.
By the pictures on their site you can see that the plain SG series does not come with a clip AND there is no 3.5mm headphone jack port.
On the bottom, by the capacitive touch buttons I do have a bump that makes it harder to hit the menu and back buttons. On their website neither case has these. They might have made changes. This could be an early production run. I'd hate for them to have added them later. The cut of the silicone just isn't clean in my opinion, and I'm really not a big stickler on stuff. It just looks like something with a made in China sticker.
Man i used Ballistic with all my other fones seems they dropped the ball with the one for the S3 what were they thinking with the clearance of the buttons

This is a nice comparison of the Ballistic case for Galaxy S3 vs Otterbox Defender. They show the size difference also
http://smartphonepedia.com/galaxy-s3-otterbox-defender-vs-ballistic-case.html
I just picked up the regular SG case for my S3 and I am not really impressed. My biggest gripe is that there is no protection for the camera. I was wondering if the SG MAX or otterbox case provided these.
Also, the SG caused my SD card to mount and un-mount very rapidly. Not sure what was happening there. The SG case is also causing my ArmorSuit skin to peel around the edges.
My experience with the S3 has been less than ideal.
The silicone feels very cheap on this case and that screen protector is the dumbest thing ive ever seen. And you do have the ballistic maxx the person who was posting on your youtube video dosent realize when ballistic says 5 layers of protection there including both the holster and screen protector

I figured they were counting anything they could as a layer. That person is on XDA. They just wouldn't stop arguing so thanks. I'm glad Ballistic didn't donate this product because I had to tell the truth!
Hi,
Can anybody suggest a vertical or horizontal pouch with the following requirements?
1. Big enough to fit the note with a TPU type case or a snap on case that protects the corners
2. Has a rigid/reinforced front/back to protect the screen in my pocket
3. Has no belt clip (goes in my jacket pocket)
4. Preferably leather
5. Available in the UK (or can be shipped to the UK)
I have looked everywhere but cannot find a pouch that meets at least the first 3 of my requirements, for my previous phone (an HTC Sensation) I used a Krussell Donso case but they don't do one big enough for the note
Capdase (I think) do one that might fit the bill, but it has a viewing hole to see who's calling and that defeats the point of having a reinforced front/back in my opinion.
The biggest trouble is most reviews or product descriptions don't tell you if the case has reinforced faces and I can't afford to keep buying and trying until I find one that's what I'm looking for.
I would consider a two part holster like the Amzer Shellster or Seidio combo case but need one with either no belt clip or one that the belt clip can be removed (forcibily if neccessary) without ruining the case.
Kind regards
Martin
Please note that I'm currently using a Zenus folder flip case (not that I'm particularly impressed with it) and I'm not looking for any sort of flip case, just a case to protect my note from accidental knocks whilst in my pocket that is big enough for a note in a separate case to give a degree of protection in case I drop it in use.
I have spent 20+ hours trying to find a belt clip case offering moderate to extreme protection that allows the screen to face outward and have not been able to find a single case that meets my criteria.
I have dismissed the Otterbox Defender & Griffin Survivor because of their built in screen protectors and the Rokbed v3 because of the belt clip.
I found several inexpensive ones that do not offer enough protection including the Puregear Utilitarian.
Reason I don't want the built in screen protector is I use anti fingerprint protectors and removing the built in protectors is not an option because it leaves the adhesive residue.
I am at this point astounded at the difficulty I'm having finding a belt clip case for my new S3 and would be most grateful for any suggestions.
The OB defender screen plastic can be removed. Thats how i use mine, No screen plastic with a regular self adheseive film. Best thing i could of done to it. I havent had issues with the rubber stretching, but you can boil the rubber liner for 5 minutes then let it cool to make it shrink again.
I was going to order the Defender last night until I saw the reviews on Otter's website. 26 of 49 reviewers would not recommend it to a friend, many stated the outer rubber casing becomes lose after 2-3 months and previous Otter users said they were dissatisfied with the overall quality. There were various other complaints too. I was going to put up with the fingerprint smudges until I watched a You Tube review of the Griffin Survivor. I really don't want to have to take an exacto knife to a brand new fairly expensive case either.

1slow4G,
Many, many thanks for posting the above link. It looks like removing the screen protector may be my only option as this Body Glove case may be my only option.( My guess is it is not anti-fingerprint.) The Tough Suit is more protective than the Body Glove case on my Captivate Galaxy S.
The below links for the Monaco aluminum case is exactly how my Captivate Body Glove case functions and I would have ordered it if it was a non-metal case. I have read on these forums that the aluminum degrades phone signal strength and can effect the GPS & NFC functions which leaves me wondering why anyone would use an aluminum case. The You Tube review states the 3 holes on the back of the Monaco case are to prevent phone radio & GPS interference but there is no mention of NFC interference and since the NFC tile is on the battery there is no hole in the battery area so I'm highly skeptical. In fact I'm going to start another thread asking for others thoughts and experiences with aluminum cases.

An additional benefit to the removable belt clip used on my Captivate Body Glove (the Monaco does not have the kickstand feature) is the kickstand incorporated into the belt clip which allows both portrait & landscape orientation (a feature I use all of the time). I also like the ability to quickly remove the belt clip and store it in my center console cupholder when using my Akron car dock. (I'm thinking the Tough Suite holster is probably to large to fit in the cupholder.)
If anyone else has suggestions please post as I think after 20+ hours trying to find a case that does what my current case does I have reached the desperation stage.................lol. But seriously I had no clue it would be this difficult to replicate the case features and screen protector I now use.
I got this one http://www.case123.com/Ballistic-SG-MAXX-Rugged-Case-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-p/p01ssi930hy004bk_bal.htm from ebay for 9.95$ you can set the phone on the belt clip facing in or out. It also comes with a plastic screen protector, which is removable. I personally didn't like the screen protector, so I don't use it.

Ebay link It seems it was sold out, but I guess you could find a similar offer on ebay.

Did your case come in the actual Ballistic packaging shown in the You Tube review? Reason I'm asking is because the $9.95 price seems way too low and the video shows the holster has a large sticker on it stating the case is only designed for screen in insertion. If yours is the authentic Ballistic SG Maxx are you saying the phone is held as securely screen out as it is screen in? If yours is the authentic one and it does hold as securely screen out as screen in I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why Ballistic put the sticker on the holster. I certainly hope yours is authentic and the phone is just as secure screen out as screen in so I can order it and be done with what has become a ridiculous time consuming ordeal trying to find a case. Makes me wonder how many cases I may have seen that allow screen out or in holster placement but only show a picture of screen in so you have no way of knowing screen out is an option. At this point I'd gladly give up having a kickstand just to be done with trying to find a case.

The below link from Amazon shows Ballistic SG Maxx cases ranging from $8 to $29 and I'm thinking the $8 ones are knockoffs considering the case is $50 on Ballistics's website but I may be wrong.

I watched a You Tube review of the Seidio Active w/ kickstand & holster last weekend where the reviewer placed the phone in the holster face out for 2 seconds (and it seemed like he was fumbling with it) so I thought that was a case/holster combo that would work. I called Seidio customer support last Monday to verify the screen out holster placement and was told yes, screen in or screen out. I called again Wednesday to ask about the extended battery model & desktop cradle but this time was told the non-extended battery model could only be put screen in into the holster. So I called their Tech Support (rather than Customer Support) to get a definitive answer and the individual I spoke with actually went and got one of the cases and said the phone will not fit/attach securely screen out.
The sg maxx is 27 on ebay. Authentic

Yeah you're right, my bad, it doesn't really work with the screen facing outwards. I haven't tried until today, I thought it would work since the case has the holes where it snaps the phone to the clip on both side. Either way its a pretty good case and clip, for cheap, AFAIK it's authentic. The seller was selling it as refurbished and it didn't come in an official Ballistic Box, but it has the logo on the case and the clip. Sorry about the confusion again , hope you find what you are looking for.
Ever since my galaxy note 2, Iv'e always preferred flip cases. Most available for any phone are typically just a cheap jelly case glued to a generic flip case. These I dislike, as they're bulky and dont last very long. But it seems to be about all that's available for the Pixel 4.
Has anyone found a good quality flip case? So far this appears to be my best option but the price is pretty high for a case without any reviews.

FOr reference this is the case for the note 2, its a front panel and attached to the case. Instead of a front and back pannel glued to a jelly case.

Hi,
I received the case (StilGut Book Type Genuine Leather Case) today and really have to say that it is the first one that does not waste unnecessary space and also looks classy.
