How difficult is it to remove your phone from this case? I only want to use the case while running and biking. Thanks

It's a very tight fit. Putting the phone in the case and taking it out are a bit tough, but not overwhelmingly difficult. The tight fit, I believe, is to insure that the touch screen can still be used.

I use it running and biking as well. It's actually pretty easy to remove the phone after you're done with the workout. I wouldn't recommend trying that while riding though. You can still access everything on the phone through the front screen but volume control can be difficult. Good luck!

Easy in and out unless you have an outer case on the phone. Touch screen works thru cover. I use mine for running too. Took it to the beach last summer also. Worked well

The two clasps that lock the top are somewhat hard to turn. I don't think it's difficult to remove the phone once the clasps are open. hth.

Its a great case, i've not had any issues with it yet. As stated though, it is a bit difficult to remove if you like to switch out your cases like I do but on a positive note that means it will not easily come off of your phone.

I had an Otter Box as well and I took the removed the entire case. After you remove the outside rubber part the two plastic pieces are snapped together. You should be able to unsnap and both pieces will come off.

It's not difficult to remove, but its not meant to be like a bumper or anything. It fits snugly/securely. If you plan to remove it regularly, do it carefully.

It's not difficult to remove at all. You just slide open the top cover and it slides right out! It's an excellent case. Hope that helps!

It was challenging and there's no easy way. I pulled the sides of the case away from the phone as I pressed on the camera lens behind the phone. It popped out after a few tries. That's the best I can give you, good luck with that.

If you are careful with removing the case from the phone. I have the same situation and so far I have not had any issues with the case.

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.

The bottom half should come apart for removal. If needed maybe you could but a thin smooth object between the parts to help loosen the two parts. I would be very careful when doing that so not to scratch the case or the phone. I know that mine does fit snug but I am able to remove both pieces. Good luck.

I just buy mine few weeks ago. It is easy to add or remove phone from the case. Remove any protection on the phone, open the case, and fit snug into case. Close with clips on both sides of case. It is ready to go. It is huge with case and does not fit into pocket except cargo pant. However, when you want to add it on the bike, there is screw on the back of the adaptor to tight it up after you click the casing on the adapter to secure phone on the bike. The phone still function and the touch screen still work. I hope this answer your question.

No, I do not take the phone out; the case works well and it is not a hassle. Phone fits nicely in the case and there is no reason to take it out..

I don't take it out of the case. I just open it like a book and talk with the front side facing the back of my ear. To remove the phone from the case to talk probably would be difficult. It is not problematic having it open and at your ear, at least for me.

It's not that difficult to remove the iphone from the case. You have to open the card hold holder and keep it open, while keeping it open you can place a couple fingers on the back of the iphone and push it out of the case. Complicated to explain but very simple process.

your phone will not fall out while running! I use it all the time. Only for the iphone 3g, 3gs, 4, 4s!

Hi. There's no need to remove the phone from the case itself. This is a two-piece deal; one piece gloves the phone and the other is like a cradle for the gloved phone that clips onto your belt or wherever you want to clip it. The glove piece has all the necessary cut-outs in it so you never need to take it off your phone and the phone fits into the cradle/clip piece very easily. Actually, it slides right in and slides right out. The only reason you'd need to remove the "glove" from the phone is if you just want to take it off. Hope this helps!

You can take the phone out of the case without removing the case from the armband. I haven't tried doing so while the band is actually fastened to my arm, and I haven't had cause to do so. In theory, it's possible.

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :)Thanks
