Is inserting and removing a phone a one-handed operation or do I need to adjust/release the side brackets?

YES! I find there to be little-to-no spring action in this newer model (even when empty). I have to use both hands AND a bit of force to get my Galaxy Five in and out.

Yes. Phone is offset though due to side buttons (power/volume) can be in the way.

I know I've answered this before but can't find the answer now. Hold the phone sideways with the top of the phone to your right and the display facing you. The left edge of the case will be facing "UP". Press both thumbs against the left edge of the case, now at the top and the case should pop off slightly, mostly from your left thumb. Once it's popped off, you can pull the phone out relatively easily.

It's a tiny latch that slides to the right. You could do it one handed but it might be difficult to get ahold of if you have big fingers.

On one side there should be two openings just on one side. It helps to have have something flat and strong (not easily breakable) and slide it in the hole going toward the back and push up to unclick the locking bumps that keep it together and do it to both sides now it probably won't jut fall of then because the middle locking bump on the side has no hole so it's still locked so just pull the two sides up that are unlocked, up to pop the middle out of place to take the case off :)

I wedged my nail into the bottom right plastic that held the phone in and tried to lift the right side of the phone out first, which freed the left side (buttons and all) to come out. It takes a little bit of doing, but wasn't too difficult.

I am able to remove the keys with one hand. I typically have my purse over my shoulder or cross-body, so a verrrry slight amount of downward pull unhooks them.

I can't compare it to the One Touch, but it is definitely easy to place and remove your phone with one hand. You just slide the phone to the right and that loosens the grip.

the plastic on the bottom part is just to little pivet that holds the phone. those can be pushed to the side if you just use the side clamps tighter you dont need the plastic bottom.

the way that I do it is I turn it upside down and I pull with a 10 inserts into the note 3 peel back. Left corner and it comes right out with no problem

I push the phone up from the bottom and pull it out from the top simultaneously. It's a two-hand operation. It took some practice but I now can get it it quickly.

Going in is one handed with my Keyfit. It clicks in place. You need two hands to remove, one to release the lock (same one you use to remove the seat from the base) and one to lift.

I'd say without the case off, it's easier to remove one handed since the clamp has to be extended to it's max and with the phone in, but with the case on you're using that tiny bit of play it has for the extra room. With the case on it can be removed with one hand without much hassle, just easier without the case on the phone. I could see how this might be a downside for some who use different cases (like an otterbox), the caseology case doesn't add much to it's width as others might.

It was pretty easy since only one side is spring loaded. So, you can just push to that side and then release the phone.

Yes, hold the sides and push up from the bottom. The phone is very secure in the holster.

Just fix and tight the mount untill you can move the phone with some pressure, then just move the phone to the right or left. The car mount release system is different from the bike/running release system. Hope it help, works great for me!

I was able to use my left finger nail place at the corner edge and bend out while taking my right hand and lifting the phone out of the case. I will admit it is a very tight fit. But I would rather have that than a loose fit. I love this case.
