Does the top pop up on this version when unlocked or does it need to be manually lifted?

It does pop up when it reads your index finger print. I is really cool, recommended if you have kids as no one but you can open it.

It unlatches and lifts slightly, but does not spring wide open. You still need to lift it up.

No need to unlock when you are the original owner. If purchased used then most times you have to unlock the phone due to the settings of the previous owner.

No you have to manually lift it up. I will not flash unless it in the up position.

On the top step is the push in lever. I know it seems like you should lift it but no, you pucj it in and it will open.

It is very hard to open. I actually start at the top and once I pry it a little bit I take a butter knife or a small flat head screwdriver and slowly work my along the opening. It works wonders and makes it super easy. Although it's a total pain to get off I actually kind of prefer it to be because I know that my phone is completely protected. Once you get it about halfway it pops off pretty easy.

I think you must unlock it first. but the answer is YES as long as its unlock.

The cover pops apart easiest at top, just pry it open a little at a time and work your way around the edge.

No, this one does not. There's another one (by the same seller, I believe) that the top does lift up which costs a bit higher.

No. I just tried and before you can open it, you have to manually unlock it.

I own one of these phones and as I remember...I did not have to lift any bar to put the SIM card in. The SIM card simply slid in and out of the slot. Use a flat edged knife or something blunt to push it out from the bottom. Hope this helps.

It's a spring loaded mechanism. Sometimes, you have to use a blunt object to depress the unlocking protocols, which cannot be done using your finger. If you have a chopstick, or something hard, that will do the job.

I comes locked. Look a the other discussion for info on getting it unlocked.

Depending on your security settings. When flipping open it will display your home screen or if locked when flipping open it will display the locked screen so you can enter it. If you have it set with the HTC view update you can set it to bypass the security settings when flipping open

Yes. I have issues getting the top to stay on and then opening it. I am not happy with it.

Mine came with its original box opened. Communicated with the seller and confirmed they had to open it to unlock. I've sent it back due to a lack of this information in their description. Ordered another one from ebay and it also came with its box opened. So, count on it.

I never noticed that. Once I unlock I just lift at the handle. I never noticed it getting scratched or having to be on the ground first.
