Does anyone know how to take it off? I can't remove it and I'm afraid of damaging the phone by using something sharp to pry open the hard case.

Yes, I can answer that. The outer case (white) comes off pretty easy. Its the hard thats a bit of a challenge, so what you do is use a butter knife to pry it on one of the opening areas working it sorta gently, then open it on the other sides where the opening is as well. good luck....thats how it works for me.

Left side on the bottom below the volume control, there's room for you to use your thumb nail to separate them.

Down at the lower right hand side of the pink case you'll see a small slim opening. Either use a non-abrasive tool like your fingernail, or the blunt end of a plastic knife to open it. I'll admit it is very time consuming when trying to get the case off, but it's a mark of a good case. Hope this helps!

Start from one corner (preferably the power button corner) and begin to pry by having your index finger behind the phone and your thumb on the front. Use an upward and away motion. This always works for me. Good luck!

Take the rubber part off and look on the side with the lock button, you'll see a small slit you can pry it with a small screwdriver, nail file or something similar. It is hard and you'll feel like it's going to break but mine hasn't so yours shouldn't either.

You need to pull off the harder rubber casing, then you open the hard plastic case that's snapped together. Make sure you have your phone wiped off as well as the inside screen protector so there's nothing stuck between the otterbox and the screen.

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

On both side of the phone there is a thing that you need to unclipped and in each of corner there is a small rectangular button that you need to push it, then from the bottom part of the phone pull it out there is no easy way it was a little difficult for me too good luck

Yes, you can remove the phone from the case. It does take some work getting the hard case off. I used a large size paperclip and pushed in the tabs on the sides until it popped open and worked my way around the phone that way. Once I got the case off, I cleaned the screen and put it back together. i have only removed the case 4 times because I've noticed the rubber shell of the case is starting to loosen.Hope that helps!

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

the case is really flexible...with your fingernail slide in between the side of the iPhone's body and the case...then...snap it out gently (because you might want to put it back on later...may be...?...right...?...only in case...you don't like the case anymore...then...just completely...smash it off...I'm sorry, I was just kidding...! )

You absolutely need to remove the case. The internal "antenna" for your phone is on the backside and it needs to be as close as possible to the Wilson Sleek, as possible.

If u can find my review, I gave step by step instructions on how to put it on... That should help you in removing it too. It is a great little case and so inexpensive.

The only way that I've found to remove the "snap-on" part of the case is to gently pull the left or right side away from the phone an it pops right out. Hope this helps! �

I'm not using this phone, but it seems to me that I had this problem when I first tried it. I think there's a small notch on the side of the phone toward the bottom. You can pry the back off the phone using a small screwdriver in this notch. I think.

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :) Thanks

I also find it hard to take the case off the phone, but I think that's a good thing because I don't want the phone to accidentally come out of the case. However, I did accomplish it once by starting at the corner near the volume buttons. The case seems to be weakest there. Then I worked my way down that edge, pushing the case back as I went. (By the way, my original comment in my review was that I found it easy to remove the phone, in its case, from the holster. Some reviewers said they had trouble answering the phone because they could not pull the phone from the holster. I hope that I did not cause any confusion.)

Simply work it back and forth with some force to remove it. It is a tight fit but will come off with some pressure and won't damage the phone.
