How difficult is it to remove the phone from the case to swap the battery daily?

Very easy, first remove the hard plastic retainer, the remove the soft urethane cushion. Once that is done (30 seconds max) you can remove the battery as usual.

Yep. The case does not interfer with any of the phone functions. The only time I've had to remove the case was when I needed to removemthe battery.

You do have to "work" a little to get off the outer shell (green part)...once you have removed that, the inner shell (rubber) is very easy to remove. The case does fit the phone very snug....as it should. Let's face it though...how often will you have to access the battery?...my guess would be, not very often. I really like this case and unless you need to take the cover off on a regular basis, I'd definitely recommend it. Hope this helps you make up your mind.

I push the phone up from the bottom and pull it out from the top simultaneously. It's a two-hand operation. It took some practice but I now can get it it quickly.

It is soldered in, so, unless you have the ability to pry the case open without damage, unsolder the old battery, and solder in the (exact replacement) battery, I'd have to say NO.

Not Difficult at all. This case simply snaps onto the phone. To remove you just grab a corner and push from the center on the back of the phone, then the phone pops out! Awesome Case!

The two clasps that lock the top are somewhat hard to turn. I don't think it's difficult to remove the phone once the clasps are open. hth.

The battery can be replaced by the consumer if they you can use a screwdriver. I bought a standard skill set with the add on tips. Stars, phillips, and straights. The smallest 2 star tips fit all those tiny little screws. It is not hard. I have done it many times. I'm currently swapping out a mother board. And it's not a bad phone. For an android. It runs faster than most. 3 members of my family using them now and we been through about 6 or 7 now in past 3 years. It is a good phone and querkty keyboard a big plus.

No, if you were going to take the battery off, you would first need to remove the case. However, as cases run, this is one is fairly easy to open. Just get your fingers into a corner and work the phone out. Its designed in such a way as to not allow the phone to fall out on its own too.

I haven't tried to take mine out but other reviews say that it's very difficult to remove and may mess up the case. I would say this is more of a "place and leave" case. But again, I haven't tried to remove the case

You have to take the case off the phone to get to the battery compartment. The battery is located in the back of the phone. You pull the battery out & charge the battery in the charger box.

Not easy. In fact very inconvient. I would get one where you pull the phone out of a pocket.

It's not difficult to remove at all. You just slide open the top cover and it slides right out! It's an excellent case. Hope that helps!

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!

You are correct that there is no easy access. This is a very traditional case. It covers and protects the camera and is held on by the camera mounting screw. You unscrew that and the camera is free from the case. So far I haven't had to change the battery in an all day session, so it hasn't been an issue.

No, I have not had a problem with the battery or case...I have had it for about 3 months and I am not easy on a phone..worth every penny

Not hard at all but, I wouldn't want to take this case on and off on a daily basis. The case fits pretty snugly. For more power on the go I carry one of those rechargeable mini portable batteries.
