Can't get the thing apart to put the phone in it???? What's the secret....

After you remove the outer rubber, you have to push in the tabs along the outer edge with a screwdriver or something similar to get it apart.

This has happened to me too - how does one remove this? It's stuck against the back part of the phone!!!

It's a pain. I struggle every single time I remove it. Basically I get a coin that fits best in the slot on the right lower side. I turn with the coin and pry my fingernail between the seam where the halves meet at the extreme right corner of the case. It will usually pops apart once you've wedged your fingernail between the halves.Maybe someone out there has a better method, if so I'd love to hear it too.

Try removing the bottom piece (it is removable). This will let you slide the phone farther down into the holster. You want the COG (Center of Gravity) to be below the ball and socket joint. This won't stop it from shifting, but will maintain it in the upright position. Alternatively try setting it up so that the plastic piece at the bottom is on top. This didn't work for my cables, so I just popped it off.Unfortunately, if you want the phone to rest sideways it will just roll over. Although if you have the COG perfect in theory it shouldn't move, but you are in a moving vehicle, so the COG won't be stationary. (Oh physics why can't you let me have what I want!!!)Good luck!

Poke your finger thru the front opening to grip the front of case and pull apart. Here's a video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVfi3PiJF5g. It's a very good case. My daughter loves hers.

you have to find a small hard item and pry it off (try not to scratch your phone like I did). Once you have done that once it will come off easily with just your fingers.

Pop open the side tabs and the one on the end with your nail and the slide apart. Not really easy to do but stays shut once you have the phone inside it.

The bottom black part you slide it to te left it should come off and then slide the phone in from the bottom and slide the black piece back on

There are two layers to the case- a hard plastic layer that the phone fits in, and a softer rubber layer that goes around the back and sides. You will need to start by taking the softer rubber layer off first. It is easier for me to start at the top of the case close to the phone reciever and gently peel it away from the hard case layer. Once you get that off, the hard plastic layer is exposed. You'll need to use a coin or other dull, narrow instrument to separate the plastic case into two pieces so you then can place your phone inside.

I wedged my nail into the bottom right plastic that held the phone in and tried to lift the right side of the phone out first, which freed the left side (buttons and all) to come out. It takes a little bit of doing, but wasn't too difficult.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

Hi, the best way I found to get mine off was to lay the phone screen down on a flat surface and push down just above the spot where the two pieces of the case come together. Once you push down on there, the bottom piece should slide off easier. I 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.

Yeah, it's really tough... I found that if you go to the weakest point (where the volume controls are) and stick your fingernail between the phone and the edge of the case, you will able to pry it off.

Well just to make sure I am going to do a step by step:1)Peal back the rubber around the charging port and headphone jack.2)Peal the rubber off the entire case3)Using a thin screw driver, or even your fingernail, pry at the clasp latch at the top of the phone/case till it comes free4)Now pry at the two side latches located at the top of the phone5)Do the bottom side ones, and now it should come off without any issues. Hope this helps you out!

Hi. There are 2 parts to this. There is the soft rubber mostly on the back and then a harder plastic frame on the front. The plastic frame lifts off and then you can slide the phone into the case. It took me a minute or two to figure out too!
