How hard is this case to get on and off, because I regularly have to take the battery out and put a new one in due to my charging port being broken?

Its locked up like Fort Knox its isn't for you if you have to take your battery out I wouldn't buy it look for just a hard case. Do not but this one

I bought this for my sons phone and we both have trouble getting it on and off. It is a really great case and he loves it but if you need to regularly take your phone out I would say go with something else.

If you have to take it out daily, then I would say don't get it. If its once a week then it would be fine... to answer you question though, its not easy to get off..

Taking the case off is rather easy. It's as easy as putting it on. Hope that helps.

I have to take mine out of its cover to put into the charging dock. It is just too tight of a fit with it on.

Yes, this case it easy to take off/put back on. There are two parts: a rubber piece that you insert the phone into (which covers the back and wraps around the sides of the phone, leaving the face exposed) and a hard plastic piece that goes over the rubber on the back of the phone and sort of "clips" onto the sides of the phone. I have had no problem removing it and putting it back on the phone on the few occasions where I've had to do a battery reboot. Doesn't take long at all.

Not Difficult at all. This case simply snaps onto the phone. To remove you just grab a corner and push from the center on the back of the phone, then the phone pops out! Awesome Case!

Hi, you don't have to take it out of the case BUT the placement on the charging pad must be exact (once you find it by trial and error). Any movement of phone from that found position will stop charging process. So overall, not ideal, but it kinda works....

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.

Take the hard plastic case off, then put the silicone portion on first. Put the end of the hard case that houses the charging port on first and snap the other end on last. It requires a bit of manipulation to see that the charging part "door" opens but not too bad. Hope you love your case as much as I do!

Yeah, it's tricky in that you have to make sure you push the green button *horizontally* towards the battery, and it's kind of difficult to do completely, *before* you pull up on the battery handle to lift it out. Hope this helps.

The battery should not be glued to the case normally. There are two latch releases that hold the battery on. My experience with ours is that those latches are delicate. One broke, and we had to tape the battery on. If there is glue involved, it could be that someone (previous owner?) had a similar problem.

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 the case off to access the battery, however the case pops on and off VERY easily (in a good way) without a lot of hassle.

Cutting off the charging port is OK but I left mine on after a few times it bends properly

Sure.. The case comes off pretty easy. I don't know why most complain that it is hard to put on and take off... It's real simple. I have ordered 3 cases and I switch out just fine. Hope this helped on your decision!

I also find it hard to take the case off the phone, but I think that's a good thing because I don't want the phone to accidentally come out of the case. However, I did accomplish it once by starting at the corner near the volume buttons. The case seems to be weakest there. Then I worked my way down that edge, pushing the case back as I went. (By the way, my original comment in my review was that I found it easy to remove the phone, in its case, from the holster. Some reviewers said they had trouble answering the phone because they could not pull the phone from the holster. I hope that I did not cause any confusion.)

Not sure if it's durable enough for that amount of taking on and off but, the case can come off easily enough if you want it to.Have you ever thought about getting a bigger battery / charging pack? I hear they work wonders.

Its a little more on the difficult side to remove, so I would not recommend this case to someone who frequently swaps batteries.
