I had the same problem. I took a small screwdriver and used it to pry it open

Easiest way ive found is start at the botton and work your way around the edges. It is still difficult though, dont get me wrong.

Unfortunately, the trick is to use something thin to pry it open. I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had to access my battery, but feel as though I could also break it. Not a good design for sure, but for the price, I guess we get what we pay for!

I keep guitar picks around for prying open plastic cases. They're cheap and come in varying thicknesses.

Take a thin flat head screwdriver and slip between gap and pop up. Once one end is up the rest will pop right off. Good luck

You will see a thin gap on the side of the hard plastic, just use your fingernail or metal nail file and pop! Off it will come.

Really, there is no easy way to do it. When you first get the case, you pretty much have to break it in. If you have like a small flat head screwdriver, you can kinda use that to "pop" it out. I used my fingernails, and let me tell you, I thought I would bust one, but I didn't. Hope this helps.

The front sits tightly inside the back piece which has a slightly rubbery feel to it on the sides. If you start at one of the corners you should be able to hold the front of the case still with your left thumb (if you are right handed) and with the thumb on your right hand pull back on the corner and it should come apart. It took me a few tries when I got it. I love the case so give it a try.

Hi. I'm just another customer, but I have the case. The way it's made, you couldn't keep the bumper on by itself. The soft bumper goes on, then the outer ring, which is hard plastic, goes over it and secures it. It looks really good, but you do still have to be a bit careful because you can knock it off more easily than a full case.

Slide the black thing on the bottom of the case sideways and out it should slide off easily (:

The black part on the bottom, you have to try really hard to get that off without breaking the case. When I tried, it broke a little. It's really hard, good luck

I pull the bottom half of the case off first, then pinch the home button at the bottom with my thumb and forefinger on the back middle to pull the rest of the case off with my other hand. It is hard the first few times, but starts to slide off smoother and easier after that. Mine slips right on and off easy now.

I know I've answered this before but can't find the answer now. Hold the phone sideways with the top of the phone to your right and the display facing you. The left edge of the case will be facing "UP". Press both thumbs against the left edge of the case, now at the top and the case should pop off slightly, mostly from your left thumb. Once it's popped off, you can pull the phone out relatively easily.

Weird... Mine was not so hard. I just removed the rubber external frame first, then open front and rear parts with a little pressure.Sorry can't help you with more to say.Any way, these cases are a strong ones, so... Don't be scared to use a little more pressure than you first thought.

You just apply some pressure to the side of the case and push it off. Use a thumb on each end of the right side of the case. It should pop off.

I've only had to do it a few times, I pull off the case first near the power button, and then near the headphone jack. That's the easiest way, and it doesn't feel like it's going to break for me.

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.)

My daughter has this case and she actually dropped her phone the other day and the case came off. I have not seen her try to take it off other than that but since it came off that easily I would have to say that maybe your case has some kind of a defect or something. Sorry wish I could help.

I kind of had a hard time removing it without feeling like it would break. Maybe I just didn't know how to do it right. If you need to remove constantly I suggest not getting this case.

I fought with the case for some time, before it suddenly came undone! Surprise. There's a small space at the top where you can insert a nail or gently a fine knife then apply pressure to the two corners at that same end (on the outside case of course) - and that's how it happened. Good luck!

I had no problems getting the phone out of the case. It should not be the most simple thing in the world. I just pry the corner where the camera is away and the push the phone out through that camera hole and then just pry it the rest of the way out with my finger. IMO...it's probably best that it doesn't just slip right out of the case.

Yeah it's kind of a pain. You really have to pull it back, pull it away from the monitor . It'll make you feel like it's going to break but it won't. I don't know why they made it so difficult. Let me know how it goes. :)Good luck
