Does the back cover of the phone (gt-i8190) have to be removed in order to fit into the case?

NO. The phone easily fits into the case. It is fitted a little tightly but that just secures your phone in place.

No the case fits like a glove and the back cover does not need to be removed. I took the phone out of the case to put a sd micro card and back cover came off in the case, so it is very snug in their, but thats what you want.

yes, you just have to remove the insert that the station is shipped with (allows phones that don't have a cover to fit properly)

No, the phone fits right in and there is a notch for the stylus to be removed without taking the phone out of the case.

The bottom half should come apart for removal. If needed maybe you could but a thin smooth object between the parts to help loosen the two parts. I would be very careful when doing that so not to scratch the case or the phone. I know that mine does fit snug but I am able to remove both pieces. Good luck.

No! Absolutely not. I had to cut my case away for it to fit snugly over the phone itself.

Snaps on the back you must remove the back of your phone to place case on it...

you have to take your back off the phone and then snap the phone into the case. It replaces your protective cover on the back

Yea it should, I am using this case , few weeks I had the back cover on and in the case, but then I had to do a lot of battery switches, so i dump the back cover and the phone fit properly in the case.The screen thing wont disturb the case

I remember when I first got the cover I had a problem connecting the charger, then we figured out it's necessary to remove the back cover to the phone before putting on the shell cover! They really should tell you that beforehand, would have saved a lot of stress & headaches.

You'll have to take your cell cover off in order for it to fit. I thought it was a pain and after awhile I bought a different case

Hi I just popped the cover off to check and I am 99% sure that you cant take the cover off because it appears to be glued to the back of the faceplate of the case.

Robert the existing case was already broken and I had to really work and pry off the case. I then placed my new case on the phone. I did not need to take the cover off yet. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

You will have to take it off. I have the "factory" case which is very thin and I still have to take it off.

You don't have to remove any part of the phone. The case is two pieces: a gel/rubber part that fits around back part of phone covering corners and a hard part that fits over gel piece on back. The buttons on each side of phone with well with case on.

No you have to take the case off for this to fit the phone. It's a very tight fit.

I'm currently using the phone with official Nokia Lumia 920 case (CC-1043) and when I charge my phone, I just place it on the charging plate. There's no need to take off the case/cover.

Hi! There is a plastic/ rubber "case" the in which the phone fits perfectly. It is form fitted around the sides and back, but does not cover the front. I've dropped my phone a couple of times since using the cover and all is well. I love it!
