Do you have to take the battery cover off in order to put this cover case on?

No, it just clips onto the phone. I haven't had any problems with it coming off.

I just got my case and yes you can use the cover without the case. It is just like Apple's cover.

No, if you were going to take the battery off, you would first need to remove the case. However, as cases run, this is one is fairly easy to open. Just get your fingers into a corner and work the phone out. Its designed in such a way as to not allow the phone to fall out on its own too.

No, this is the protective case only. Battery Cover comes from the manufacturer and is your responsibility if you get a replacement phone to transfer onto your next phone.

I have the extended battery and this case and it fits perfectly with the back cover on. You need to make sure the cover is securely on there before you put the case on it.

Yes. you can. It has a small slot right by the charging socket. No need to take off the case.

Ordinarily you don't need to 'remove the cover', you merely unlock the entire housing from the mounting base and the battery immediately accessible for changing. It does look like somehow you can release a couple of locking tabs that are either side of the battery compartment to release the two parts of the housing from each other.

The extended cover is needed for the extra thickness from the battery. There isn't a case that works with it (that I've found) but it lasts better than the OEM battery. It seems to work better when charged with an external charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html?ie=UTF8&a;=B006G8YR36).

It's snug but I wouldn't recommend using it without the phone's battery cover.

No you have to take the case off for this to fit the phone. It's a very tight fit.

Both battery covers should just slide right off. One of the covers on my set is actually slightly loose for my preference.

Yep. The case does not interfer with any of the phone functions. The only time I've had to remove the case was when I needed to removemthe battery.

Yes, I couldn't remove the battery cover neither; so, I asked my husband to do it for me. We think the cover is difficult to remove because the device can be used in water.

I don't have a cover on mine but this fits the unit without a cover very very snuggly. So I would assume you'd need to remove the cover!

You have to remove to one rubber cover on the end of the handle, then the safety screw. once this is done you can slide the battery cover off.

You will have to remove the case in order to replace the battery. The case is made from soft plastic so it slips on and off pretty easy.

That has happened to me a few times, though it's usually just one edge and not enough that I can't get the rest of the case off without pulling more of the battery cover with it. It's not ideal, I agree, just a downside of the snug fit. I know the instructions say to remove it starting from the bottom edges, but I've found that if you do it from the top and get one edge off without pulling the battery cover with it, and you put a finger in there and run it across toward the other top edge, it tends to come off without any issues. The top snap-in tabs that hold the battery cover on seem to hold better than the bottom ones do when taking the case on and off in my experience.
