Remove the rubber part from the top, then pull it out of the bottom. Then lightly lift the square clips on the side from the back. There are three; one on top and one on each side. Pull apart then insert the phone. Snap the hard case back together, and replace the rubber , making sure the rubber snaps around the tabs you opened the plastic box with.

This was the hardest case to open Oh My Gd. Like everyone said you have to first take off the color silicone, but I was pulling it off so hard I thought I was gonna rip it. It's really hard to get off... but once u get it off you just unsnap the two sides and the phone fits right in. but not kidding, it took me like 10 min to get the silicone off. Good Luck

HI For the front piece, you need to open your phone first and slide the front cover on. It's the same way for the bottom piece as well.

You start by taking the rubber outer skin off. You now have just the plastic cover that the I-phone is incased in. There is three tabs one on the top, and two on the side. This is crucial to not breaking the case, SLIGHTLY pry one of the side tabs away from the case with your finger nail. When the tab is clear seperate the case until it is clear of the first tab. Repeat this process for the other two tabs. And the plastic case should the come apart into two pieces. If this does not help search the problem on YouTube for a demonstrational video. Hope this helps.

When installing the case, lay it on the back of the phone, slide it on sideways attaching most of the hook clips, then snap the remaining clips one at a time starting with the first clip hook that is not attached and continuing around the edge of the phone until all of the hooks are snapped into the closed position. When correctly snapped closed there should be no opening for dirt to enter. If you have broken the hook holders off of the back by forcing the back straight down onto the back of the phone purchase a new rear cover. Installation should be similar to installing a plastic lid on a can in the kitchen. You can not force the whole thing straight down onto the phone with great success.

Start from one corner (preferably the power button corner) and begin to pry by having your index finger behind the phone and your thumb on the front. Use an upward and away motion. This always works for me. Good luck!

Start at the sides, the grey part and put your nail in between the white and grey and pull the grey out and do this around the entire case. It's new so it will be tight at first but don't be scared to pull it to get it open and put the phone inside. Also there's a YouTube tutorial if you get stuck, type in how to install otterbox on iPhone.

Just take case off and pop the phone in the screen protector and then it will slide back on. This phone case is a lot easier than the survivor case I use to have

In order to put the smart case on that comes with the phone, you have to take the existing one off first. Then the case will snap right on. I hope this helps!

With the palm of your hand, push down on the lower back part of phone and slide it up and out of the front. Just make sure you got a grip on it so it doesn't fly out.

Ann,When you put the tow covers together over your phone they should click and seal. You then put the phone into the clip face down. Seat the bottom of your phone into the curved part of the clip and press inward. You will hear a click and you phone is now secure. To remove, press the release clip on the top of the case and your phone will come out. I hope this helps.

Take the plastic protective part of the case apart then slide your phone in until it clicks then take the rubber part drape it over the bottom and pull it up over and make sure it hugs the phone properly and make sure the plastic cover does not press on your volume button

Extremely easy. You pull up a flap and put in the phone. Close the flap and it is held in place with a magnet. My husband LOVES this case. It is a snug fit with his Otter case on the phone too but it fits!

The case is very tight, you want to take the top peice off first. There is a seam on the left and right grab above the seam with your doninant hand, grab below with the other. Hold the phone so the back is what your palms are on and your looking at. Pull up on the upper half while pulling down on the lower half and it should start to slide off.

Hold the phone sideways In both hands. Push don and away with your right thumb on the upper right hand corner of the case. This will pop the case off at the corner, allowing you to work it off the phone along the edge.

I just put both cases together first. Then I slide the phone in horizontally and popped it in. Didn't seem to require too much effort.

If you take the rubber part off, there should be small latches on the sides and top. Lift those from the back of the phone. Hope that works.
