Do you have to have the actual back to the phone? I lost my back and was hoping for a case to replace the back, not go over it.

I took the back off the phone and put the cover on and the phone still works. You would probably have to be careful with the phone because it does not fit as tight as the actual back.

The back and front snap together so technically, you don't need to have the back to the phone. That said, the case is not that sturdy and one good drop and you could ruin the phone permanently.

No you need the backing on the phone. Although a see through backing would be interesting.

Not really, I mean there's nothing that comes with it. I've found that I really like having my case on, especially around the house and stuff. If you drop it, the back is coming off and from time to time my SD card will fly out too. But it's a decent little phone. I've been really happy with it.

No. There is a rubber part that fits over the back and then a hard case that it slides into. It is a great case and the price is really great compared to cases of quality in the store.

No it doesn't replace your back cover of your phone, it just slips right on your phone. It's a nice snug fit.

No. You have to take the case off to use this one. It has a gel case on the inside that the phone goes into that covers the back and sides

You do get what is pictured, but I woudn't call it a "case". That implies an extra something that protects the phone. What you get is a backing to the phone that replaces the original backing already on your phone. This battery is bigger than the original, so the original back won't fit with the new battery installed. As mentioned, the new backing fits perfectly with the new battery.

This case will not replace the original back cover of the phone, it will cover to protect it from any dents/scratches.

Yes and no. It is missing, but it is missing on purpose. The missing part is where a corner of your phone will fit to keep it in place. My phone is currently wearing this case and I love it! I highly recommend it :)

yeah it does, you need to remove the back of your phone to use this case but is actually good cause then you will have the original back brand new

Unfortunately, the bumper cannot be used without the backing in place. The bumper is a little oversized to be able to fit around the shell and won't fit the phone without it.

No this protects only the back. I didn't realize this upon purchasing the case and ended up buying a screen cover separately. Bummer

Yes, only it is larger so they will send you a new back piece for your phone.

I also have the flat back. I haven't found the correct case yet. Amazon said they couldn't help me. If you find the correct one can you please pass it on to me. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

No. It was my experience that in many situations the case had to be removed. It's pretty bulky but my main concern was protecting the phone and preventing it from slipping out of my hand. And it's super cute!

same as without the case, just touch the screen.... I love the case. I was against getting a case for a year, but am glad I made the purchase now.

Yes, in fact the back isn't attached when you first receive it. You have to snap it in yourself.
