My battery door comes off almost every time I take this case off; does anyone else get that??? I'm not 100% pleased with this.

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.

It happens once in a while. It's a small annoyance for a snug fitting cover, but better than some covers out there that are loose and peel off easily.

I have not had any problem with this case. It's the best one I have purchased.

Make sure you have the door installed securely. It's very thin and can appear secure when in fact it's not. Do you remove the cover frequently?

I have difficulty closing the battery compartment door myself. You have to kind of push down on the door while holding the little latch back at the same time. I've not had the camera long enough to discern different sizes of batteries, but I'm gonna take the other folks' advice and try different batteries when I change them out.

You probably already fixed this, but I ran into the same problem last night. The cause? The door on the battery compartment was not closed completely. It *looked* closed, but it wasn't. I opened the door to check the batteries and when I closed the door I saw a tiny little gap. Pushing down on the door caused it to click into place and everything worked.

Unscrew the back cap - the one with the on/off button. The battery carrier will then slide out, be sure to put it back in the same way it came out.

A lot of the times I have to take my case off and open it up to push the power but into place to make it work

My camera is new so I have not repaced the batteries yet but I find the door latch awkward and difficult to use. I'm hoping that I don't have problems and will be very careful when replacing batteries. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

Sounds like it might be defective. Mine comes off very easily by pulling slightly on each side of the clear plastic cover

I just pressed it off and when I tried to turn it on it took two tries. It usually works though. I like it. I have like 6 cases and I happen to have this one on right now. Its a good case.

Yeah, I don't get it...could be issues with quality control, although I've noticed most who say it fits used a battery other than hyperion.... weirdly it seems to fit my phone more snugly now than when I purchased it..( I have a hyperion battery) or perhaps I just got used to it...it's never fallen off or anything.

That seems to be a common problem with this case. I traveled with mine last holidays, and even though it has just been sitting in the house all through, I discovered that the locking mechanism was not working. When I acquired it though, I tried it out and it was quite okay.

I have not had this problem. I like my Bear Motion Premium Slim Case very much and have had it for several months. Marilyn F., Carlsbad, CA

I haven't had that problem with mine. I've had mine for 3 months now and have taken my phone out a few times.

It gets stuck almost everytime I needed to charge it. Just waiting a few minutes and try to remove it. Good luck, mine just fell apart.

Hey, I have this case and I love it. At first it seemed like it didn't and I was bummed but over time it seemed to start reading the phone all the time and not being so touchy, charging my phone perfectly. Idk whether its because the case over time formed to the phone tighter or what but works good. I love the case just remember it sucks to take off and on.

The battery should not be glued to the case normally. There are two latch releases that hold the battery on. My experience with ours is that those latches are delicate. One broke, and we had to tape the battery on. If there is glue involved, it could be that someone (previous owner?) had a similar problem.

Not sure if it's durable enough for that amount of taking on and off but, the case can come off easily enough if you want it to. Have you ever thought about getting a bigger battery / charging pack? I hear they work wonders.

You do have to "work" a little to get off the outer shell (green part)...once you have removed that, the inner shell (rubber) is very easy to remove. The case does fit the phone very snug....as it should. Let's face it though...how often will you have to access the battery?...my guess would be, not very often. I really like this case and unless you need to take the cover off on a regular basis, I'd definitely recommend it. Hope this helps you make up your mind.
