Is there a trick to extracting the phone from the holster with just one hand? I need one hand to hold the holster and another to push up the phone.

I went to this model because I have had 4 ot he holster belt clips on the Otter Defender break with only a brush against something. The one I got through Amazon was so loose the phone kept falling out. I went to a Verizon store and got another one because I did not want to wait. This one is a bear to pull out of the holster but I was told, from someone I trust, that time will let it slide out smoother. Mine is already wearing a bit looser. I think it is just time. Now if I just don't break the belt clip I should be okay :-)

With the palm of your hand, push down on the lower back part of phone and slide it up and out of the front. Just make sure you got a grip on it so it doesn't fly out.

The phone will fit in the holster two ways, right and wrong, and besides the snugness of the fit it's hard to tell the difference. When properly inserted, the camera lens on the phone should be on the same end of the holster as the red sticker. The power cord end of the phone will have a slight cutout on the holster. If you insert it in reverse, it fits but it gets sticky.

Push the top corner of holster against your body, while pulling the phone up with your fingers. After a few days it really loosens up and it's quite easy.

Put your thumb on the bottom of the phone (over plug in hole). Reach over phone like it is in the palm of your hand, and stabilize or push down on the top part of the case with your two middle fingers while pushing the phone out of the case with your thumb.

I use both of my thumbs on one side to push the case off and it pops right out. Of coarse you have to apply a little pressure but I haven't had a problem with getting it in or out of the case.

Only if you don't have the piece on the phone. Buy then your phone is loose inside the holster and could slide out... So possible but not recommend...

Please, i followed the instructions and removed the one screw. There is no way as i understood it on how to remove the back...there is nothing to get hold of to pull back...unless, one pulls back where the battery is removed,,that is the only place one can get its hands with a grip...but its so tight as i tried to pull back, i was afraid that i may break it. You all make it sound so simple. Could someone supply a picture of how to grip the back? Plus, why doesn't Acer show how its done in their phd ?

It's possible, but not easy. On the other hand (no pun intended), this thing works great. No complaints at all and to be honest I've never had to use just one hand to insert or take my phone out. Hope this helps.

Start from one corner (preferably the power button corner) and begin to pry by having your index finger behind the phone and your thumb on the front. Use an upward and away motion. This always works for me. Good luck!

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.)

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

You have to slide the top safety up on the holster and then pull up at and angle; should come right out.

You have to remove the phone from the holster, but not the case to charge since there's a brace on the bottom center. My guess is it needed it with the heavier phone. It doesn't easily slip out from the top, it sets in pretty well. Hope that helps!

The holster holds the phone pretty snug. Even thought its a snug fit removing the phone from the holster is not a problem. Its a snug enough fit that the phone doesn't come off the holster without user intervention but loose enough that you can get the phone out with minimal effort.

Yeah you just have to snap and unsnap it a few times. I can open and close mine with one hand. I had the same issue as you when i first received mine

It was pretty easy since only one side is spring loaded. So, you can just push to that side and then release the phone.

There are two arms into the vent on springs. Each can be removed separately. Under the arm there is a tab you can reach - pull it forward, then push the arm in slightly and that will free it it be lifted up and out. Then do the same on the other arm. For more clarity, you might remove the cell phone holder first so you can the the arms and tab more easily.

Grip the sides of the case tight in one hand, and the sides on the other hand. Then pull hard. Sliding it out using a downwards and out motion on the screen works too.

I just bought this and I can only use one hand I will let you know how I like it and how I use with one hand I think the problem may be in the unlock and wind but I will see if I can work around it Jay jay28@me.com

wow -it's hard. just broke a fingernail. Put in the charger to help with leverage, then insert a fingernail at the midpoint of the side, and gently wiggle and pry case away from phone. good luck ! I think I'll go back to my soft case.
