is there a certain amount of times i can take this case off the phone before it no longer seals or can it be constantly removed and put back on?

As far as I know there is no limit to the number of times the the Otterbox can be remved, provided the removal is done carefully and the latches are not forced. But why would you want or need to frequently or often remove the case?

Hi Kathryn . Honestly ... I love this case so much I haven't taken it off since I put it on. But I can see what u mean .. It is hard to take off . Good luck .

It's not hard to remove. Just pull the plastic piece off the back and remove the rubber portion. If you're using the screen protector you'll have to put it back in every time but not bad in my opinion.

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.)

Yes. If you press until you hear a click then it won't come off without you deliberately taking it off.

It is relatively easy to remove and replace, however, I wouldn't trust the plastic to last very long if you are removing it that often. I have only removed my case 3 or 4 times and I already have cracks forming in the bottom corner of the case. Though that could have been from dropping it too. Honestly, I don't think any case will hold up long with that frequency of removal. I would still recommend this case as the best bet.

The case is three pieces like an otterbox. The two plastic halves go together and covered by the rubber. So no, but if you're meaning to take off the screen protector part only...then yes. That is glued to the case and in our case was already coming off a bit, so should be able to be removed if needed.

Hi I just popped the cover off to check and I am 99% sure that you cant take the cover off because it appears to be glued to the back of the faceplate of the case.

There are two small screws at the bottom of the phone. Remove them and the back will just slid off

Yes, if it does happen to come off it can be reapplied. Once it's on not any way for something to get between it and the screen.

Hi, the best way I found to get mine off was to lay the phone screen down on a flat surface and push down just above the spot where the two pieces of the case come together. Once you push down on there, the bottom piece should slide off easier. I hope that helps

It isn't made to be removed and reattached, but I was able to remove the clip from the holster piece which left me with a flat cover for my phone. I've been using the case and the makeshift cover since I got the phone and would recommend them. I removed the clip from the holster by putting a flat head screwdriver in between the clip and the flat piece on the cover / holster and applying pressure until the clip popped off. put something soft like a rag on the cover / holster so you don't scratch it.

supposedly it comes off very easily when u take off the cover,i cant get it off either ,maybe if u turn it and twist it it should lift off because it does lock down in there when you put it back on

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 have owned this model for 6 months and have had no problems removing it and putting it back on. I would suggest not doing it often though as you will stretch the outer casing.

Taking the case off is rather easy. It's as easy as putting it on. Hope that helps.

I've held the phone to my ear but use my headset alot. You can take out of case but its a snug fit so not that easy. I do not think the case is made to have the phone removed each time you receive calls. If you need something of that nature, then I do nit recommend thus type if case.
