Is it difficult to remove every time you need to replace the batteries or SD card?

I agree with the other person. It is easy and quick. Heavy case is worth it to protect the gps.

Yes sort of. You have to take the unit completely out of the case to do any kind of maintenance. I also found the belt clip kind of useless (for me). It makes the overall profile of the GPS pretty big and not good for pockets, especially if you are climbing or canyoneering. It will cause the GPS to power off or even reset. It's best used with a lanyard and attached to your pack or something. I'm still glad I have it having broken or lost units in the past.

Easiest thing ever. All you have to do is loosen the lanyard and the case opens up very easily. This case is great.

Absolutely not. The spring loaded tensioner slides easily back on the lanyard and the case opens on a hinge at the bottom. It's a piece of cake. This case is the best out there!!! I would also recommend adding a custom screen protector from Armorsuit...

Not at all. You can open the case in seconds. Just slide the cord-holder away from the case, and it opens.

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.

I do not use multiple batteries, but yes the case is easy enough to remove and replace with out question. I'd like to add very durable as well. Thanks Elago!

The one I have at home is removable, but the one I just bought is NOT!!!!! I got an extra battery just so I could swap out when one went dead, but this version is NON REMOVABLE. I am very unhappy about this

Need to remove the internal tab protecting the batteries OR need new batteries.

Yes I found that it took a bit of time and patience to wiggle the battery out of its slot. I actually took two thin wooden wedges and was able to get the tip of each one both sides of the battery and slowly nudge the battery out of it's slot. When I put the new battery in I put some duct tape on each side of the base and fashioned a handle so the next time I could more easily pull the old battery out of its slot. It is just a matter of having a thin strong implement to wedge in the small openings on the side and work the battery out of its slot. Good luck

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.

Hello,You need to take off the back. There is a slot next to the battery to insert the SD card.

Batteries are in top portion of the device.You need to unlock the top part and in top portion there is an insert that you can remove and put batteries in.No need to open any screws

I have one battery and mine is tough to remove as well. Try lubricating the area.

It's easy to remove the cover and vacuum the unit. This is all the cleaning it has ever needed for us-- and it is a necessary part of keeping the unit from false alarming.I clean them when I change the batteries--so far, about every 2 years.

Well, indeed the batteries eject when you change SD card, but I've just checked that the date/time setting nevertheless remain the same. Looks that the settings are independent (at least for a while) of the the presence of the batteries.

I do it all the time. This will help prevent dust and dirt from getting in when you constantly take it off and put it back on. Just remember to remove the batteries if stored for more than a day.

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.

If the battery can be removed, you would need to unscrew the entire base. Sorry to take so long on answering

Hi A, Take off the battery cover and once the battery is removed you will see the slot for the SD card.

I don't think you can easily remove the battery. I even could not find a place to unscrew the back. I guess screw holes are behind the rubber foots.
