How hard is it to remove / install? I take my case off daily to fit in my armband, and my current case takes FOREVER to get off :(

Very easy. It's a flexible "plastic" like material. I take mine off regularly also for the same reason, and I haven't had any problems so far.

This case comes off fast. The edges are a fkexibke rubber but the back is hard. It's very easy to remove.

Removal is easy, the outer band of the case is rubber, I just start at one corner of the case and slide it off. Easy to put back on as well. Easy to keep clean.

It's not hard to remove. It's just a matter of prying out the corners with your finger nails. If I want to remove the case, I usually pry out the left or the right side, and then pull of the case. This probably will reduce the life of the case (possibly crack eventually), as it is not meant to be removed so often, just an FYI.

as hard as bumper. the case made of kind of quality silicone so it is flexible yet very clear and feels very well when hold it. I really like this one and I had so many of these and all kind of bumpers.

Hey George,No, you'll have to take the case off. The armband is pretty tight, so I don't imagine you'll be able to squeeze the phone in with the case, I didn't manage.

I pull the bottom half of the case off first, then pinch the home button at the bottom with my thumb and forefinger on the back middle to pull the rest of the case off with my other hand. It is hard the first few times, but starts to slide off smoother and easier after that. Mine slips right on and off easy now.

Well, I've had mine for a couple of months and never had to take it off, but it does indeed come off. Just not by itself. It's a cross between rubbery too-tacky and hard slippery plastic. Mostly the secure grip comes from the square-ish nubs on the side. It's a great case, far better than Verizon's dopey rubber sleeve. And I've dropped in on the corners many times and no breakage or harm came to the phone. Buy it! Yell at me later if you don't like it! See ya!

That's iffy. I use an Incipio case - very thin - and I have trouble fitting it in the armband, so I usually end up taking it off.

You cant remove it with your fingernail. I've tried. I actually haven't been able to remove the case since putting it on.

Hi Tak,I havent tried it with the case since I didnt have one in the first place. The arm band is a precise fit for the phone. So it seem like it would not fit. You would have to remove the case.

Yeah, it's really tough... I found that if you go to the weakest point (where the volume controls are) and stick your fingernail between the phone and the edge of the case, you will able to pry it off.

I have a case that just goes around the outside of my phone and I do need to take it off to use the arm band.

Well, to be honest, I never tried it on because as soon as I took it out of the box, I realized I would not be able to insert my iPhone into it without having to remove my case from my phone and I'm not going to do that every time I want to use the arm band.

i have one on my bike - it takes less than 5 minutes to add and or remove . i never take mine off though - never know when u are going to need extra space for your hag - sun glass - ipod - ect. I am on my third one in 12 years

I personally do not like it, it makes the screen harder to push... BUUTT you can take it off with out damaging the case at all. its just sorta stuck on, and pulls off very easily.

I've been using this for months, and although it was a little annoying at first to obtain an ideal fit by removing the case, it takes a total of 2 seconds (extra) and it's just become a part of my routine. Maybe it depends on the casing and the ease of removing it, but it's still a good quality product.

It's not easy to do lol, I ended up with a sharp tug and a quick pull and the rubber came off the case. It may take you a few minutes but yoyou should be able to get itit off.

You know, it took me forever to get my case off. I watched a video online. But, I ended up getting the bottom off super easy. The top, I started from the bottom, and got those loose and then slid my fingers around the side. Be careful though, I pinched my finger really bad =[ I think they are meant to stay on once they are on!

No I have a relatively thin caseolgy case which I have to take off when using the armband. However the case really doesn't feel necessary when using this armband.

I had an Otter Box as well and I took the removed the entire case. After you remove the outside rubber part the two plastic pieces are snapped together. You should be able to unsnap and both pieces will come off.
