can the case be quickly opened and closed for a mid day battery swap?

No, it is a pain to open, unless you have decent fingernails. You have to undo ~8 clips around the edges. I would recommend an external battery instead if you really want this case.

I agree with abc19969, and would add that removing the phone from this case, even every few days, will undoubtedly deform the rubber shell that fits tightly around the plastic shell.

It is very easy: Undo the little screw located at the back of the case, open it, and carefully remove all the components (one by one) from inside. Keep an eye on the original position of these components so you can put them back in the new one. I would recommend to replace the battery as well. Once you finished installing the old components into the new case, just tight up the little screw and that's it!... It is ready to go.

Yes, a tool is provided to remove/replace the flip cover and the battery. It isn't quite as simple as changing a flashlight batt. but it shouldn't prove to ba a challenge to most.

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!

Yes - pull it apart just under the white section. It may be fairly stiff but it will pull apart here and you can replace the battery! Great device!

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

It is a tight fit if you want to carry a spare battery and charger. I ended up getting a different case and giving this one as a gift.

Yes, it's removable (it looks like a fat AA battery) and can be swapped out easily.

No it can not. The battery is in the case and can not be take out easily. It covers the entire back under the case. (I am just a customer).

On the main part, open the case, this will expose the battery. If I remember it is a special battery that you will need to take with you to match. Not cheap either....also the case can be opened while still mounted. Snaps open with a small flat blade screwdriver or pocket knife.

it is to open up the case so you can change the battery,sd card or dock it to a computer. it does have a button so it can just be opened by accident.

Only by opening the case, so it can be replaced if you are comfortable doing that. However, you would not just carry a spare battery for extra charge on a trip.

Hi, zyggistardust. This Belkin power battery case can be turned on and off. The short cable that comes with the case is the Micro-USB charging cable. To know more about this battery case, you may check the video on this link: http://www.belkin.com/us/F8W292-RM/p/P-F8W292-RM/ .

Yes. No problem. The entire swap will take about 20 minutes - or possibly less. Often, only one of the switches usually the RH sw.) requires replacement but it's best to replace both at the same time. Be sure to disconnect the battery to prevent inadvertent deployment of the airbag. There are a few YouTube videos that will walk you through the replacement.

You should have no problems switching in and out of this case. Very easy and quick to do.

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

Unfortunately spare batteries for this case aren't available anywhere I could find. The most you could do is use another external battery like an Anker.
