can the phone be used without taking it out of the case

No. Since the jitterbug is a flip phone, you have to remove it completely. This is a very well made case and the only thing required is cut out a small place on the side to allow for the use of auto charger cable.

You can't really dock anything, but you can plug your phone into it without removing the case.

Yes if the phone is not in any outer shell. You only have room to insert the phone only.

No you do not have to take case off. The port on the side is easily accessible for the charger.

No, its a tight fit with just the phone so there's no way you would be able to fit the phone with a case already on it

No, this particular model is for the iPhone 5. And the previous answer is crazy. You do not have to open the case to use your phone.

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!

No you have to take the case off for this to fit the phone. It's a very tight fit.

Yes you have to remove it. And the case doesn't work very good. Only if you're not going to use your phone for a long period. Is very hard to take the case off the phone though

Yes, you can use the phone while it is in it's case. Anything to do with the touch screen is available, but the side and top buttons are not. I use it while I'm on my paddle board in the river and haven't had a problem with it yet.

Yea you can, just not under water. I tried! This is GREAT product. One thing to be aware of is leaving the phone sealed inside the case on a hot day while your not in the water, it will heat up sooooooo fast.

I just got my case and yes you can use the cover without the case. It is just like Apple's cover.
