do you need to take the battery cover off the phone?

No, it snaps onto a plastic piece glued to the cover as-is. This does mean that if you have a different model phone you may need to remove this piece to use the cover and keyboard (I did for my Nexus).

You can use a table knife in the slot on the back near the bottom of the phone to gently pry the back cover off and access the battery.

You do remove the original back cover and put the battery cover on. I ordered from one company (the same thing, I thought?) and I couldn't get it on. Returned it. Ordered from another company and it works GREAT! I love the longer use time.

You don't have to remove the back cover. There is a piece of plastic adhered to the case that the phone snaps into.

Take it off. It has no affect on the product. You do have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the handset turns on.

It is not necessary; however, removing it will provide for full charging of the batteries. If there is no "film that can be easily peeled away" then it is not there.

No the case fits like a glove and the back cover does not need to be removed. I took the phone out of the case to put a sd micro card and back cover came off in the case, so it is very snug in their, but thats what you want.

There is a little paper strip that you need to remove. It saves battery life until it's ready to be used.

No, this is the protective case only. Battery Cover comes from the manufacturer and is your responsibility if you get a replacement phone to transfer onto your next phone.

No you don't have to take out of case to charge there is a little flap that has the charge port under it. Flip it up and plug it in. No removal required.

No. Placing it screen out will make it very difficult to get the phone out.

No you don't have to remove the back cover. The NFC chip still works with the cover on.

Don't take that off. If your using the extended battery you do not use the back cover, just put the tpu over it and it will hold it in place. The cover is only if you want to use the stock battery or some other extended battery. :)

If it is the white paper that says ZeroLemon on it then leave that on. I don't think it comes off. As long as the battery contact are exposed then you are fine.
