Is taking pictures with the phone awkward/impaired due to this case?

No. You just hold it open as you would a book. There is no impairment. The case does a great job protecting the phone. I've been very happy with my purchase.

What happened to me is the first few times, I forgot I had folded the case around the camera. After that, I got used to it. Not a big deal, IMO.

No, you just can't fold the cover over the back where the lens is located. You have to hold the case open. It isn't a real problem. It just isn't as convenient as not having a case on the phone at all.

yes it is slightly awkward.it is doable but you have to hold the case open. with both hands.

Yes, you can utilize the camera while it is in the case. Yes, a tad awkward, but you can utilize the keyboard as another stabilizing holdpoint while taking the pictures.

The camera and flash area is all open so picture taking is fine. And there is a protective screen. My camo however came off in a few weeks and so did my husbands, but we just now use the plain case.

Camera is operable with cover in place.Sound, both in and out, is somewhat restricted. The entire phone is covered,Lenses and logo are clear.

I was going to answer "no", then again I'm looking at mine with grip attached (always leave mine on for extra battery). If it's underneath I had forgotten since my grip has been on about as long as had the camera, loops, I mean phone. I do that all the time!! ;0)

I got mine and have no problems taking photos in the front or the back. I love this case

I didn't take many photos so I really can't say. I think it's OK but the rest of the phone drove me crazy. It's too heavy also. Best, Craig

I use this case for taking pics while in/under the water so I do not have problems with making calls. Plus this is not a case for everyday use, just for those times you need to protect the phone when around water.

No major hindrances. You just need to maneuver the case accordingly but the camera works fine when in the case

no not at all...i have 2 of these cases..one in white and one in pink. I have not problems taking pics at all and no color changes.

I don't have any problems with it. To take pictures I let the cover hang, and for selfies I bring the cover back.

i think its for a self portrait function of the camera, ITS NO PROBLEM.CASE IS REALLY A GREAT DEAL, STILL LOOKS NEW

I just tested it with and without the case, and yes, the case interferes with the flash quite heavily. Best to remove the case for any flash photos.

I had no problems getting the phone out of the case. It should not be the most simple thing in the world. I just pry the corner where the camera is away and the push the phone out through that camera hole and then just pry it the rest of the way out with my finger. IMO...it's probably best that it doesn't just slip right out of the case.

No, that is the only drawback, you have to slide it up or out of the case completely in order to take pictures.

I had no problem taking pictures with my phone in the case. It was very functional at a car show but I wasn't trying to take pictures of a toddler though.

I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera. The cutout for the flash in no way hinders the ability to shoot your photo and they look just as good as if you'd taken them without the case. It took me a short period of time to figure out exactly how I needed to hold the phone for the photo as the front flap is hanging down on a landscape shot and to the side on a portrait shot. Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing. Beyond that, I am truly enjoying not having to carry a wallet. If I have my phone, I have what I need. It seems to be holding up quite well and I recommend this case. I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera.
