Do you have to remove the battery cover to use this case?

No, the phone fits right in and there is a notch for the stylus to be removed without taking the phone out of the case.

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

One thing for sure you don't need to take off the battery cover to use this case. So to me that's added protection. I have never used UAG case so I can't really compare for you. Although I love this case and feel that it serves its purpose in protection from a drop or fall. My 2-yo daughter tends to throw my phone a lot and my phone has not been damaged.

No, I don't ever have to remove it. It has all the built in openings for the charger, power, and volume button.

It will but without the battery cover it's less safe than having both the battery cover and this case.

Yes. you can. It has a small slot right by the charging socket. No need to take off the case.

Yes you can...though the cut is a bit tight! But to access the battery compartment you have to remove the case

No, you do not have to take the case off to charge the phone. I've had this case for several months now and it hasn't failed me. I love it!

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 have to remove the cover to use the docking station. Very inconvenient.

There's a slide-out battery cover right behind the wrist band on the back. It's a little concealed by the band but you can still get to it.

No, but I had used other protectors WITH batterys and they all were awful. Battery failure repeatedly. This is a GREAT case and would add it to my battle rattle. Dave

Yes. The dock has a removable insert to allow extended battery. You would have to take off the case for the phone but not the battery cover.

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.

No you do not have to remove case. You can also keep case on when you want to charge phone. Fits perfectly and its not too bulky.
