How easily does the case open -- especially for frequent use of cards held within the case?

really easy. its just a little flip up switch (see the black connector). it also closes/fastens simply too. thus far i have not had any issues.

Yea. 3 cards comfortably. I cary 3 cards and my ID with no problems sliding them out. If you put more in they will be hard to get out.

It is very tight and I pried one corner out with my fingernail. Then I put plastic credit card in that area while I gently got it loose on the other side. Once you get both sides loose, it's fairly easy to pop the phone out (hopefully without breaking the case). I think my 1st case got cracked when a person at our phone provider's office forced it off to check something.

I have two cards in mine,and it stays closed just fine...actually you don't even notice the cards are in there.

There is just enough room to pull cards in and out with friction from the sides, but not loose enough where they fall out. Hope this helps :)

Well, it really only holds three cards, so there's not a lot to take out anyway. But the slot at the bottom makes it very easy to push the cards out. Your question has not been an issue for me at all. I've had mine for probably a month now and still absolutely love it.

its fairly easy. once the lock is opened and off the case, you pull off the locking "strip" and the pull of the case (its basically a two part back case and both parts are interlocked with a third hard plastic "strip"

Yes, as long as you have no more than 2 or 3 cards in the compartment. I've never had the case open when I didn't want it to. I absolutely love this case!!

It opens sorta like a wallet, once open use away like normal. Side buttons are still accessible.

5 very comfortably. 6 very snug but doable. I could close the case with 6 cards. I wonder if your card has numbers that bulge out of its surface, 6 cards may not fit? One thing to note is that if you are to slide the last card out, the hinge prevents it from sliding out. You will need to lift the card with your nail, or something. I use this case for my business cards, and I'm loving it!!

I can tell you this, I bought this case for my wife's iPhone 5. She loves the ability to store a couple of cards in the storage compartment. She hasn't had any problem with the exposed edge in the front of the case getting caught anywhere yet!

No. Definitely not. There are only room for the cards. They are so tight they ripped of the data lock on two of my cards making them useless. I sent it back and bought a different case.

No. It opened just a enough that a card could fall out. The phone is completely encased and not exposed

Money does not slip out easily. Money really has to be folded in half or fourths to fit in the case and that helps it fit snuggly. I can even shake the case upside down and money does not fall out when there are two cards in the case with it.

I never take mine out of the case, the "wallet" folds completely open. I love mine and get so many questions, compliments, I have even bought other as gifts.

I have not had a problem with the case opening by itself and there is no way it is coming out of the case on its own.

No, it is a pain to open, unless you have decent fingernails. You have to undo ~8 clips around the edges. I would recommend an external battery instead if you really want this case.
