Can you use this for talking and texting without taking it out of the case?

Absolutely. I take off the strap and always keep it in the case except when I want to take a clear picture. The thick case sort of gets in the way of the camera.

Yes, no problem to text or use any function just be careful if you bend over to talk to children or pets because the phone swings into their faces. Not good!

yes you can talk or text. Biggest problem with texting is the tendency of my fingers to hit one character further from the edge than I want (e.g., 's' i stead of 'a'; 'k' instead of 'l')... the case is a bit bulky.Not related to the question exactly but my case is just about 1 year old and the anchor point for the lanyard broke recently... and the security of being able tlk keep the phone tied down was the reason i bought the case.

Yes. You can do everything. Even take photos. That is why I purchased it. I found myself leaning over water from a boat to take photos and decided I needed something more secure than my hands to hold the phone while using it to take photos.It works great!

Yes; I bought it for my father who is 85 & has trouble keeping up with items. This allows him access to phone at all times to answer calls &/or texts.

No, you should be able to answer without opening the case. Swipe up to answer and swipe down to hang up.

Yes , you can use it for hand-free talking on the phone , but I won't recommend it for long hours as I mentioned in my review it's not comfortable

you have to have your phone with you...but u can make calls without taking your phone out the case.

Yes, you can. But there is an intermittent squealing noise as if a hearing-aid is interfering with the speaker. I can only guess that the watertightness of the case causes the speaker to do this. I no longer use this case, and haven't since heard this squealing noise.

No, you cannot. You must set your phone to lock its orientation and not enter lock or sleep mode while you are using it in the case. The instructions are pretty useful (unlike some) so I'd recommend giving them a read before testing.

Yes you may talk on the phone. All of the buttons and camera window work well. It is slimmer than an Otter case and so far, the hard plastic shell still looks like new. The color is bright and stays clean. This case is likely to last me a lot longer than my last two Otter cases put together.

It probably could be done, but it'd be a pretty tight fit. I usually just take it out of the case because it's really not necessary anyway.

Definitely can easily be taken out of case. I mostly utilize the speakerphone when talking or ear bugs.

No, you can make calls with the case on. You only have to remove the case to take out the battery or add a memory card.
1544487
Yes you can, however its awkward because the phone does not have a front-facing camera.

Unfortunately, it don't. My biggest problem was no one could hear what I was saying when I spoke with this particular case. I had to always take it out of the case to talk, which defeated the purpose of Having a case. I sent mine back for a refund.

I can answer my phone while in the case. I do not take the phone out of the case. I have not had any problems with anything. My phone is very snug.

You can talk on the phone while the phone is in the case, you just need to flip the cover open. you can't talk when the cover is closed. I love this case. It's the best one I've had so far. So convenient and holds my credit card, my license etc. it's like a wristlet.

No, there are buttons on the outside of the case. You can use it both ways, with or without the case. Hope that helps.

You can take the phone out of the case while it is on your arm, but you can't take the case off. You can remove the case if the armband isn't on.

Yes. You can open the phone without removing it from the holder. I don't know what the purpose of that.
