Do you have to take the battery cover off to put this case on?

No you don't have to remove the battery cover to put this case on. The phone clips right in & fits like a charm!

No. The GreatShield case snaps right over the whole back of the phone. So far, it has worked great, and it is so much less expensive than that "name brand" case!

The case is open and the charging port. You do not have to take the cover off to charge.

No..once you put the cover down, it automatically turn the switch to off....i think for safety purposes not to drain your battery or any power....hope this will help!

No you don't have to remove the back cover. It has like plastic that your phone fits into.

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.

Yes. you can. It has a small slot right by the charging socket. No need to take off the case.

Yes you do have to take your case off. I have the iphone 4s and the case is too cumbersome to fit on the charging area. My is still working and I had it for a year.

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

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. to use this case, you remove the back battery cover and snap your phone into this one.

You will have to remove the case in order to replace the battery. The case is made from soft plastic so it slips on and off pretty easy.

Yes. It has a little flap you flip open on the bottom. I have had mine for 3 months and have never had to take the case off for anything yet.

That has happened to me a few times, though it's usually just one edge and not enough that I can't get the rest of the case off without pulling more of the battery cover with it. It's not ideal, I agree, just a downside of the snug fit. I know the instructions say to remove it starting from the bottom edges, but I've found that if you do it from the top and get one edge off without pulling the battery cover with it, and you put a finger in there and run it across toward the other top edge, it tends to come off without any issues. The top snap-in tabs that hold the battery cover on seem to hold better than the bottom ones do when taking the case on and off in my experience.

Yes, it has an on off option. You can even charge the case while the phone is in it. I have not removed the phone from the case in weeks.

One thing for sure you don't need to take off the battery cover to use this case. So to me that's added protection. I have never used UAG case so I can't really compare for you. Although I love this case and feel that it serves its purpose in protection from a drop or fall. My 2-yo daughter tends to throw my phone a lot and my phone has not been damaged.

yes, you have to take it off to get to the battery and memory card. I do use the MegaGear all the time, except when using a tripod, which is half the time. The case is a great protector, however. One caution, if you use a shutter button on your shutter, (which is very cool), you won't be able to use the case, because it will activate the camera. So, I use the button when actively shooting, only.

yes, and accesss to the battery compartment does NOT require removing the cover. Good purchase and still on the camera today.
