can the side pouches be taken off?

Yes, they can. It's real tough Velcro keeping them on real securely, but they can be removed.

Just the bottom sack detaches and even has a shoulder strap that's tucked in the pouch

hi, it can be taken off but the hard part seems to be finding a suitable replacement that will fit through the narrow slots.

Yes you can. The long strap used to pull can also hook on to the other side. Making it like a side satchel.

I would also like to know if I can use the pouches that come with the carrier, but without using the carrier.

No you cannot.. attached to one side and the zippers are on the other side. It does however open up big enough that you can flip it over the ridge-line of the hammock and get it out of your face.

Sorry, I can't help you there. Originally I thought I was supposed to use it around the back straps. But they're crossed anyway. Then I thought maybe if there was some way of keeping the straps crossed lower down, the pouch would stay up higher on the front. And the little velcro strap might do that. But it doesn't stay where I want it to be. So I never figured it out.

No. In fact the zippers pulled off the edges of 2 of the pouches after about 3 weeks. :(. Fail.

I have one of these on there http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0062CEYCK/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1414214345&sr;=8-9π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 and that's a pretty big pouch so you should be fine but it will have to be off to one side.

Yes it can. I thought of removing mine, then realized it is much quicker and easier using the belt already provided with the pouch. Don't have to thread your regular belt through it. Much more convenient than another "unbelted" pouch that I have......

Yes. There is one short bungee-type strap on the inside of each pouch to secure it and keep it from flopping outward.

yes, it can be removed while in the case.a little tricky but it can be done with practice

I have not, but the side pouches are pretty deep so I think a small one would fit nicely.

The pouch is a magazine holder. Easily comes off. Purchased separately, not included with Hip Extender.

No, you can take off the belt attachment, if it comes with one. The case fits pretty well in a pocket, but Ive found that eventually the silicone part of the case will start to warp & rip. Hope that helps.

no they cannot be removed. I wish it could as well. I would fit much better if they were detachable.

I have transferred 2 different pouches with no additional adhesive necessary. I'm pretty sure that my current one that I just transferred to my new phone could be removed and placed on a third case if I need to.

I don't think. Once you tighten them on your lens and clip the left overs, it is not possible to remove it without damaging. But a strap for each lens.
