Are you supposed to be able to "use" your phone when this thing is one? It fits fine. It's a little hard to remove - but NO ONE can hear me if I call.

Check all the ports and stuff. Mine works fine. Something could be plugging the microphone hole. (Bottom left edge/corner) obviously don't cut it out it wouldn't be waterproof but if it's just something clogging it. Also. It could just be a problem with the phone itself. That happened to my friend. Either replace or fix the phone or spend 8 bucks and hope it's the case.

Well, do you have a screen protecter on your Iphone already? If so, take it off. Or, you can check under the front of the case to see if something's wrong. If they still don't work, just use earbuds or headphones instead of using more money on a better case. Hope this helps! :)

You have to flip down the cover over where the battery charger goes. I had the same promblem when I played iTunes. The sound was muffled and made the while case vibrate.

The problem may be with how the waterproof membranes are positioned in the case - the ones covering the two holes on either side of the charge port. Just blow into each for a couple of seconds. Probably could use compressed air can, but be careful - these membranes keep the water out of the phone. Another workaround is to flip open the port cover while you're in a call.

I bought three cause it was a "good deal" but everyone i talked to said it sounded like i was under water, so i gave them all away. The case i had before was a lifeproof case. it worked fine, but it was expensive.

Waterproof - yes, however, it's very hard to hear phone conversations with this case on

yes you can. i have no problems hearing my phone ring or the other person during a call with the case on.

It's a tiny bit muffled. I bought a few of these as gifts. One of the recipients is not b impressed. Also, I should add that it fits on the iPhone 5 but it's not as snug as it would be on the older models.

It fits fine. The Verizon rep put it on for us, since we had never done it before. It is still tightly on.

My husband used this phone for a while. He never had the issue of people not being able to hear him but he did have the issue of not being able to hear the phone. After a while the speakers started to not work too well so you could barely hear it when he got a call or text.

I took the back off the phone and put the cover on and the phone still works. You would probably have to be careful with the phone because it does not fit as tight as the actual back.

It does fit snuggly, as I prefer, but It can be taken off without breaking your phone. Work from the two corners at the bottom end, rather than two corners at opposite ends of the phone.

It's just a little harder to hear but not completely mute. It's a slightly muffled sound because it's literally sealed shut. It's not meant to be an every day case if this bothers you. It's meant for when you know you will be in or around a body of water or if you have young children who like to play with your phone.

You can use the phone with the cover on. Any call you received will show up in the little window. You can answer and talk with it closed. Yes, you could cut it off, but I would try it with the cover first. Then remove it if you want. At first I was going to remove it, but I am glad I didn't.

It's for the proximity sensor. Covering it, even with clear film, can make the phone act up during calls.

Yes, it's a little snug, but it fits just fine. You should open the earplug opening before you put the phone in, though, to make it easier.

If you need to take it off it is not too difficult. But it is also just difficult enough that the phone won't fall out. I have taken mine off a few times to clean dust out and change the picture.

It is a little bit tight which is like a good and bad thing. But I just male sure my my hands are dry first, hold on to the top part of the case and pull the bottom piece. Once you get that off hold the bottom of ur phone & pull off the top piece it takes a little muscle lol ;-)

Hi Deal Seeker! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) I apologize for the late reply! The answer is no, you do not have to remove the phone from the case to make a call. You just bend the front flap behind the case to make calls. If you have any further questions and need a speedy reply, please contact me directly here at our storefront email:

Wow, Juanita, but it does not look like it could be as it rests in the charging unit at something of an angle. But it essential here as it allows this quite hard of hearing user to be able to answer the phone, and have some use of it. I recommend it. It was very frustrating to know that maybe the telephone rang, and even if I answered, I would not know who called. It can be amplified to quite a loud level. I wear two aids. Pep

If you have one on your phone itself yes u may remove it but the one that comes attached shouldn't come off. It protects your phone better Than the regular ones. I actually have both on my phone. If you really needed it off you would have to pull it apart, but that's up to you. Hopefully I answered your question
