I use multiple batteries and open the case 2-3x per day. Is this easy enough to remove/durable enough to survive?

It only wraps around the 2 long sides so it is very easy to take off and put back on. I use multiple cases so mine gets changed a few times a week. Hope this helps

Amazing durability and quality. I used with an extra battery my phone. The only cons is that the holes let the dust get through so you have to clean it at least once a weak. Pros.. feels great doesn't slip a bit.. one thing more, it does not protecte the whole bezel.

I do not use multiple batteries, but yes the case is easy enough to remove and replace with out question. I'd like to add very durable as well. Thanks Elago!

I think it's very easy to remove. This case feels very nice in the hand. Not as rugged as some but I'm gentle with my phone. I love it.

Not sure if it's durable enough for that amount of taking on and off but, the case can come off easily enough if you want it to.Have you ever thought about getting a bigger battery / charging pack? I hear they work wonders.

I think it is. I have dropped my phone and the case stayed on with no nicks or scratches to either phone or case. The case snaps on or off quite easily in my opinion, but does not come off with every day handling.

The case is very easy to put on and remove. However, it is made of very thin hard plastic. If you are not careful it may start ripping. Treat this case with kid gloves.

funny you asked this today, I dropped my S3 yesterday with this case and today I'm looking for a screen replacement kit. So No not durable enough....

Very easy for no more than 4 cards. After that really snug and hard to pull out cards. I would say its pretty durable. I use daily, and it's held up.

I believe so.. It's flexible enough and I remove my case multiple times a week and have no problems!

I had it for a couple of years and it appears to be holding up OK (no obvious links, failure of seals or cap, brittleness of materials). I only drag it with me when I need the volume so it's getting used 3-4 times a year. It's currently on loan to a trusted buddy. I am fairly careful with it because it's made of materials that could puncture it so I don't pack it next to a spork or put it on the outside of my pack in a spot where a branch could poke it.

It is relatively easy to remove, although not repeatedly. The "band" broke after I repeatedly (around a dozen times) removed the cover. I did so because the audio and charging cords I have were too large to insert. I am currently using it with only the black, flexible portion of the cover.

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.

No I think you could remove it pretty easily if you want to. In my experience with cases a bigger problem is finding one that will stay on tightly and not break. The plastic in the Snugg case is a bit softer and less brittle than my previous Incase. I recommend it without reservation.

Very easy....but I don't know how it would hold up after frequent installations/removals. It has been durable for me for the last 2 years but I haven't tried to remove it.

I havent had to replace it, but yes, it should be easy. The remote cover has 2 small phillips screws, and its one of htose flat batteries.

Yes 100%! I have owned this case for a little over a year, maybe actually 2 years. I carry My debit card, Drivers License, and my Military ID. Ive dropped my phone probably 300 times (not even joking). I am also a runner so i enjoy how easy this case is to slide off so i can slide it into my armband. U flip the bottom open and pull it out. With my card and 2 ID's i can probably fit maybe 3 bills. When I ordered it I actually was afraid it would make the phone bulky, but it actually doesn't add much at all. It is made of very durable material. Considering I probably get out my card or ID at least 2-3 times a day, I've probably opened the holding part 5,000+ times.... It latches closed perfectly every time. I see myself still getting 2+ more years use out of this. Ive owned otter box cases and life proof cases, and I enjoy this one the most.

You will have to take the case off to access the battery, however the case pops on and off VERY easily (in a good way) without a lot of hassle.

Yes, it is very easy to take it out, you just have to slide both locks and the battery is out.

When I first received it I couldn't get it off either. After working at it for awhile and a few unkind words I finally was able to remove it and put the batteries in. Now it is easy to open and close(I just went and tried to make sure) so keep trying or ask for help. I think that it was worth the beginning frustration.

snaps together. has to be that way so you can easily replace the small battery as needed. the internals (green pcb board) pop out and into the new case fairly easily although you want to test the red panic button does not stick if accidentally if pushed.

yes, you may replace it. just youtube it, even search here for battery replacement, i did it it looks like regular battery and its easy to remove once you open the case

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.

It's very durable, I've dropped mine several of times and it protects my phone. The charge seems to last a little longer than the iPhone battery. So if their both charged up it has lasted me the entire day with a lot of use. It depends on how much you use it. If you don't use it much the charge can last 1.5-2 days almost. I have a 4s, not sure of the 5s model.
