Why does this case have nails/screws on it? My original case does not?

Your case is probably the newer housing. This housing was released with the GoPro Hero3 line. A newer, slim housing, that does not show the screws on the front, was released with the Hero3+ line & then the same housing, with a different back door, was released with the Hero4 line. This housing is considered to be the Dive Housing now & the newer slim housing is considered to be the standard housing.

They are machine screws. They come in and out but are tight and don't let water in. What the screws do is they hold the black seal onto the housing. In other words they hold on the lense. This was considered old now because the standard housing has the same exact screws just on the inside. Get this housing it's awesome. Your case( if you look on inside) you should see screws. It's the same on this just on the outside to attach or hold on the lense. If you have any more questions feel free to ask

Yes. The complaints about the screw are unjustified. The screw is used simply to ensure the case doesn't open in transit, and to prevent theft of individual tools in stores. It's only slightly problematic if you have no screwdriver, or no items that can be used as a screwdriver (like a knife).

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

No it doesn't. I'm still dragging mine around in the box it shipped in, which is holding up pretty well - I've been agonizing over what I want from a case.

Hi: My case is same number. My stand does work. My problem is with the belt clip. It does not hold up and cracks. Working on #4. Hope this clarifies my posting

Nope. Everything is as if there was no case. My wife uses the same case and we can't tell a difference.

I think the case I have is also a counterfeit. Amazon offered the best prices, and mophie usually honors Amazon orders. Hopefully I can get this replaced.

No. That was not the product I got. That may be the only kind left. But my answer is no. I love the case I got, and it's perfect.

Ya gotta get your fingernail in there and pry it open... can be difficult if you keep your fingernails short... Bigger concern: how do you get the entire case off of the phone once you put it on?!?!?! This thing is so secure I don't think it's ever going to come off again... better hope I don't need to replace a battery any time soon.

It's kinda like an otter box ...just pull on the tabs that click together when you put it in the case. I use my finger nails because it is kinda hard to get off.

I haven't used this case yet. I had ordered 2 cases & really like the other case. I'll check when I get home to see if I have the same problem.

Yes it does for me. I never had the original case so I can't comment on it's quality vs the original.

No it does not have screws. It does have the ledge on the bottom that the iPad sits in

No, it's pinned in by the casr that actually comes together with screws. This is the toughest case I've ever seen. I'm liking it more now that I hve used it more.
