How hard is the case to remove? Why are there people complaining that removing the case damaged their phone, should I be worried about that?

Yes you should be cautious. It cracked my bezel and broke it off. I returned it and went with a more expensive high quality case.

It is indeed a tight fit and hard to get off because it's rigid. The Galaxy is a thin phone ... I think if you were not careful you could scratch the phone case or screen, and if you were really hasty bend and crack the screen.

I remove my phone from my case once a month. and it's held up for me. but removing it several times a week would probably increase the probability of it loosening and not holding up but it all depends how careful you are when removing. but the case is great while it's on the phone, very durable. hope this helps!

I have no problem with it. I have bumped and dropped my phone and it is all good

I actually have no problem with it at all! It's definitely one of the best phone cases I've had. I wouldn't say it's the absolute most protective case but I have dropped my phone several times and it's never cracked or anything.

I have had the case for a while and dont know what they're talking about. I really like the case, myself. The only comment I found accurate was about the stretching. It seems it's stretched a very tiny bit but hardly noticeable. If I was taking my case on and off everyday maybe it would be annoying...

Mine was hard to get off too so I got one corner off then slid a plastic knife along that side through the openening, and slowly popped off the whole side. Then it just slid off. Plastic knife didn't scratch my phone.

Weird... Mine was not so hard. I just removed the rubber external frame first, then open front and rear parts with a little pressure.Sorry can't help you with more to say.Any way, these cases are a strong ones, so... Don't be scared to use a little more pressure than you first thought.

Hi Kathryn . Honestly ... I love this case so much I haven't taken it off since I put it on. But I can see what u mean .. It is hard to take off . Good luck .

The bottom half should come apart for removal. If needed maybe you could but a thin smooth object between the parts to help loosen the two parts. I would be very careful when doing that so not to scratch the case or the phone. I know that mine does fit snug but I am able to remove both pieces. Good luck.

I haven't tried to take mine out but other reviews say that it's very difficult to remove and may mess up the case. I would say this is more of a "place and leave" case. But again, I haven't tried to remove the case

Hi Carolyn! We have beeb selling these cases for the past year and have not heard of any complaints, so I don't believe you would have any issues. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

If you need to take it off it is not too difficult. But it is also just difficult enough that the phone won't fall out. I have taken mine off a few times to clean dust out and change the picture.

I also find it hard to take the case off the phone, but I think that's a good thing because I don't want the phone to accidentally come out of the case. However, I did accomplish it once by starting at the corner near the volume buttons. The case seems to be weakest there. Then I worked my way down that edge, pushing the case back as I went. (By the way, my original comment in my review was that I found it easy to remove the phone, in its case, from the holster. Some reviewers said they had trouble answering the phone because they could not pull the phone from the holster. I hope that I did not cause any confusion.)

It depends. Some people have no problem with it, others do. For me, however, yes, the phone case hindered them. If it weren't for the fact the plastic case (the pink) wasn't so study it wouldn't be an issue and you can easily adjust it. But its been about a week and a half since my incident with my phone case to where I still can't get my phone back in.

Putting it together is difficult enough, but getting it apart is much more challenging; often times it will discolor the case. It normally takes both hands but if you can somehow put a small screwdriver or something between any crack in the case you can pry it apart --- good luck, these phones/cases suck! Just being honest, hope it helps...

I don't think you can without tearing the phone apart. I did check on YouTube and there was a posted video of someone removing it. I attempted that on the phone (same model but one that my daughter face planted into the floor) and I ended up tearing the phone apart to the point where had it not already been unusable, it was then.

I've had no issue with my side button coming off when removing the case but I've only taken it off twice. I'd ask for a new one, doesnt seem normal.
