This appears to be 3 pieces. Can it be used without the top cover and will it fit snugly in the holster that way?

It is 3 pieces. I guess it can be used without the top piece but it definitely will not fit snugly into the holster. I hope this helps.

In short, yes. What you'd need to do is peel off the Screen Protector which will not come off beautifully as it's glued on, but it doesn't matter as it will be covered by the outer jacket. You do need the rest to make the case fit the phone and then into the holster. I did this very thing because I wanted to use a screen protector that adheres to the face of the phone and not just cover it.... It worked perfectly.

This case was purchased for my father in law, but I put the case on. I don't know if the phone will be secure in the case w/o the front piece, or if it would remain in the belt holster w/o the front piece in. I can tell you this, I'm an Android guy & after installing this case & setting up his 5s, I wish casemate made 1 of these for my Nexus 5. This case is SOOOO much slimmer than an Otter Box Defender series. This case is very snug & the rubber does not peal away. It's very low profile... & I'm mad that the Nexus series phone isn't shown as much love from Casemate as Apple & Samsung.

Yes the holster snaps off and on. It doubles as a belt clip and a multi position phone stand for hands free viewing of the phone.

You get two pieces. The outer protector which includes kick stand. I do use a stand either but it is concealed and not in the way at all. The other piece is a solid outer cover. I don't use this either ...it has a spring belt clip on it. The outer she'll is not bulky at all. I am very pleased with it.

I never use the holster. It is just one more layerof protection but it does come off of the case.

You have to slide the top safety up on the holster and then pull up at and angle; should come right out.

No, the holster is a very tight fight to the gun. There is very little extra space.

I don't have a cover on mine but this fits the unit without a cover very very snuggly. So I would assume you'd need to remove the cover!

The bottom half should come apart for removal. If needed maybe you could but a thin smooth object between the parts to help loosen the two parts. I would be very careful when doing that so not to scratch the case or the phone. I know that mine does fit snug but I am able to remove both pieces. Good luck.

It has a good hold in the holster but is not difficult to remove. Usually a 3 finger grip will do the trick one on the bottom to push the phone out while using the other 2 to hold the holster sides. When not on your belt a simple thumb push is enough to remove the phone.

No. It is essentially a 3 piece case. Two plastic pieces snap together on the phone. Then the third piece is the holster that the phone snaps into. It is my favorite case and I have had a few.

Yes...and quite snugly I might add. But I caution you not to break it in with anything but wear. The molded leather if softened will lose the holding fit advantage and allow the weapon to become loose...much looser than you might want to keep it in the holster securely. It's comfortable to wear and low profile except for the thumb rest

My 3.5" fits fully & snuggly into the holster.....The 4" barrel might stick out over the top, making it unable to close properly...IMHO

I don't know- I do know that the holster starts out snug, but loosens a little too much over time if you keep the gun stored in it. not much good for anything other than a cover to keep profile from showing. No longer matters that the holster exterior grips my pockets, as the gun will literally slide out on it's own if it tilts while in a cargo shorts pocket

No. It will not interfere at all. I love this clip. It allows me to carry without a holster.Every once in a while, you will have to tighten screw.

No, it comes with a case that fits the holster. However, I had a slim soft plastic case and it happen to fit in the holster.

I use it without the holster clip. In fact, I never use holster clip. Hope this helps.
