do you have to take the back of your phone off to use this case?

No, not at all. The Galaxy Note II snaps nicely into place in the frame corners, and you can easily take it out whenever needed, for instance if you want to put it up on a dash mount to use as a GPS. But it won't just fall out of the frame, either, so that is a good thing. You do have to kind of get your fingernail or edge of your finger under the phone to get it loose. That just makes it that much more secure in the cover. I really like this cover and am on my second one -- even though the first one is not worn out yet, but I got another color.

No, the phone slips in easily and holds it tightly. If you should have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

No! The inside of the case has plastic frame & your Note 2 clips into it. Your device is now locked into the case, if the phone falls it falls case & all. Don't worry well protected. All button functions & ports, camera & charging are exposed for use. Stylus pen is easily gotten to. Snap latch no magnet. Magnet latch interferes with use of stylus. The only time you need to take phone out of case is to remove battery. For added protectionuse a matte screen protector. Perfect fit!

Unfortunately not. You must take the cover off. A real pain, but worth keeping your phone dry.

Yes it is. The only issue with this case is that you have to take the back off of your phone to use this case.

No it does not. If you are a person who would like to be extra careful with protecting the phone, this case is good. I have had two different cases and I do not use either now. To enjoy the sleekness of the phone I use it without a case !

No, the original back stays on. There is a, rubber like, colored sleeve that slips on the phone and then the hard case snaps over that.

I haven't taken the phone out of the case since I got it, it's not that easy to remove. But it's not awkward at all to talk with the case still on. You just flip the cover to the back so it's out of the way and it's fine.

There is no need to take it out of the case at all. I've had no reason to take the phone out of the case, so I cannot answer as to whether or not it snaps out easily. The flap bends backwards easily which makes for easy handling and does not disrupt holding and speaking into the phone. Quite versatile if you ask me. Hope this helps :)

No. You take the back off your phone and this case clicks right on... It's a little strange but I liked it for travelling. Phone felt protected. I switch between this and a silicone one.

I did not take the back off of my phone and it fits tightly but not too. It does take a minute to get it out but I am okay with that knowing it will never fall out.

It looks like you can remove it but I'm not sure you could put it back. I kept it on and I didn't seem to have any problems using my phone.

You don't have to remove the back cover. There is a piece of plastic adhered to the case that the phone snaps into.

No the case fits like a glove and the back cover does not need to be removed. I took the phone out of the case to put a sd micro card and back cover came off in the case, so it is very snug in their, but thats what you want.

You don't have to take it out, just fold the cover and magnet flap around back and the magnet will hold the case open! The phone fits pretty snugly inside the case though and its not that easy to take it out... Bit you don't have to to talk on the phone!

Yes it comes off. I never used mine. This case works so well I got the max for my phone. Looked brand new, like out of the box new after four years. Mine is for sale on Craig's list.

Hi, you don't have to take it out of the case BUT the placement on the charging pad must be exact (once you find it by trial and error). Any movement of phone from that found position will stop charging process. So overall, not ideal, but it kinda works....

No. to use this case, you remove the back battery cover and snap your phone into this one.

Yes...u will not need to take case off...there is a hole in the back of the protective runber that allows you to use with the case on. Hope this helps.
