Do you have to take back cover off of your phone to use this case?

Yes. The batt cover is part of the case so you remove it. the cover snaps in the same way.

Yes. It replaces the back cover with a cover that covers both front and back. Works quite well. It was very easy to change out.

Sorry for delay! Yes the new cover attaches into the back of the phone as if it were the back cover. Very easy...hope you got your answer prior

You have to take the original back cover off your phone. Keep the original back cover in a safe place in case you need it in the future.

I guess I don't understand the question. If you take the phone out of the case it would not have protection. I love the added protection of the case cover. I also have the plastic cover as an added benefit while the phone is in use.

No. I love the product but u have to take off most protector cases in order to use.

Yes...u will not need to take case off...there is a hole in the back of the protective runber that allows you to use with the case on. Hope this helps.

No ... this case removes the phone from being water proof. The snap on back cover is not waterproof.

I just got my case and yes you can use the cover without the case. It is just like Apple's cover.

No you do not have to remove case. You can also keep case on when you want to charge phone. Fits perfectly and its not too bulky.

No. Most phone cases won't work without the actual back cover for the phone attached

No not really, because you fold it back and use the phone normally. It's only the delay it takes to fold it before you answer the phone. Back covers don't have this issue.However I find it worth it as it keeps my phone from falls and shocks.

Yes. If you notice, almost all of the one-star reviews here say the cover doesn't fit. I have a strong feeling that most if not all of them are people who are trying to put the phone in it with the original back cover still on. In other words, I strongly suspect they don't realize that the original back cover must be removed and is replaced by this case. If you remove all those reviews, the rest are very high ratings.

I have bought several cases like these and I have never had to take the back off of my phone. I hope this helps!

Don't take that off. If your using the extended battery you do not use the back cover, just put the tpu over it and it will hold it in place. The cover is only if you want to use the stock battery or some other extended battery. :)

No. You can slide your phone face first so the back of the phone is facing out

No. There is a rubber part that fits over the back and then a hard case that it slides into. It is a great case and the price is really great compared to cases of quality in the store.

Yes. If you mean a case, take it off b4 you put the screen protector on so it doesnt get in the way.

No you do not have to take off the back of your galaxy S4, your phone fits into the slot by simply pressing it in when ready it is also simple to remove. I trust this helps answer your question.
