No easy access to the battery compartment? If no it seems it would be a hassle? Nice looking case though!

You have to unscrew the base of the case from camera to get access to the battery compartment. Yes, it is another 30 seconds to a minute, but the camera is very well protected. It is a gorgeous case and I am very, very happy with it.

Unfortunately you do need to unscrew the case to access the battery or memory card. But its not much of a hassle, just keep an eye on the battery meter.

You are correct that there is no easy access. This is a very traditional case. It covers and protects the camera and is held on by the camera mounting screw. You unscrew that and the camera is free from the case. So far I haven't had to change the battery in an all day session, so it hasn't been an issue.

I had same problem. Poor design and no instructions included. I ended up breaking the clip to the cover to get to the battery compartment.

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.

The battery is not removable. I mean you can break into it and see if you can get to the battery but the build is not intended for that.

No... the case doesnt have enough space... but you can open it and change the battery.. many times..!!

I would like to know the answer to this as well. And if not I would like to know how to make that battery compartment as well to charge its batteries outside its case. ^_^

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

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.

It is a tight fit if you want to carry a spare battery and charger. I ended up getting a different case and giving this one as a gift.

There is an option in settings where you have to activate it so that it locks with the case. I'm not sure which part in settings it is, I'm sorry :/ (might be in general where the auto lock option is)

Ya gotta get your fingernail in there and pry it open... can be difficult if you keep your fingernails short... Bigger concern: how do you get the entire case off of the phone once you put it on?!?!?! This thing is so secure I don't think it's ever going to come off again... better hope I don't need to replace a battery any time soon.

Actually easy. I used a standard screwdriver to open the case, than just unclip battery from the housing.

It is a pain to get open but like they said if u cant get in neither can any thing else, and it might be possible if u were to open the charging port and close in a tiny string of some sort but there are no other places to put a cord unless u close a small cord or piece of string into the case but I dont kno if it would shut then.

Yes, there is a place in the battery slot. It's only visible when you have the compartment open and are able to see the batteries. That's why some people have answered no, because they didn't look there.

I was able to cram it in there with a case but it getting it in and out is really difficult. its designed without a case in mine for sure...

Unfortunately not, it eats battery using Strava in about 2 hours, wish there was an opening or even a space to drill to plug something in there, but too tight and too close to the bottom part of the case that locks-closes the case. BTW, the pictures do not show the bottom too well, but you do have to use your nail or nails to open it up, I'm kind of used to it just after two rides though.

These fobs I ordered have a small screw that inserts in the back of the case. I can remove that tiny screw, pop off the back cover and have total access to the batteries. I hope this helps..
