*I swap my battery out 2 or 3 times per day. Is this Ballistic case easy to remove and put back on?

It's not difficult, but not easy either. The silicone jacket in order to be secure is snug. the outer shell is easy to take off. But I don't think that you can get better protection.

I take mine off to clean quite often and never have any problems...it easily snaps on and goes right back on

Nothing a brain surgeon shouldn't be able to do as long as he / she is scrubbed in... No, really, not to tough - pretty standard removal, no special tooling required.

Yeah. It has the first cover that is rubber;then a plastic cover that has a hard rubber back on it. Two steps is all. And what is going on that you have to change your battery so much?

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.

Yea it's pretty easy. It's a close fitting case buts it's flexible so it comes off when u want it to and stays on when you dont.

No, it doesn't. I had the otterbox and it did it too me twice. The first time they replaced and about two months later it did the same thing. That's when I went to the Ballistic case and I like it much better.

Yes. The batt cover is part of the case so you remove it. the cover snaps in the same way.

I got it off, saw that the battery was fine, then snapped it back on. It really does slide off, toward the connector end, but it takes a lot of force. Wait a few years for the rechargeable battery to wear out, then take it in and let the poor kid at the store get the back off.And getting that lanyard loop to go in and back out of their little attaching hole is also nearly impossible. A needle-threader helps...

It's not too difficult, but I find it much nicer to use without. I prefer a separate screen protector, but will probably never get a different case. Love the Ballistic.

Good question! I'm gonna say 5 min to remove and replace the battery. I only use 1 battery. I can see how it would be inconvenient to have multiple batteries. This bumper case is screwed together.

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.

Don't take that off. If your using the extended battery you do not use the back cover, just put the tpu over it and it will hold it in place. The cover is only if you want to use the stock battery or some other extended battery. :)

Yes, it is very easy to take it out, you just have to slide both locks and the battery is out.

Yes, this case it easy to take off/put back on. There are two parts: a rubber piece that you insert the phone into (which covers the back and wraps around the sides of the phone, leaving the face exposed) and a hard plastic piece that goes over the rubber on the back of the phone and sort of "clips" onto the sides of the phone. I have had no problem removing it and putting it back on the phone on the few occasions where I've had to do a battery reboot. Doesn't take long at all.

I've never had a problem; it's easy to remove and replace the battery cover. I supposed if it's dropped it would break.

Very easy! Just unplugs and slides out. I have 4 batteries that I use when I go fly - takes 30 seconds to swap them out.

It is very easy: Undo the little screw located at the back of the case, open it, and carefully remove all the components (one by one) from inside. Keep an eye on the original position of these components so you can put them back in the new one. I would recommend to replace the battery as well. Once you finished installing the old components into the new case, just tight up the little screw and that's it!... It is ready to go.

I do not use multiple batteries, but yes the case is easy enough to remove and replace with out question. I'd like to add very durable as well. Thanks Elago!

The case is about as easy to remove as the S4's rear cover - I think it is pretty easy. I just took it off and timed myself a couple times: 5-10 seconds.

Because as great as the battery is, the case is flawed. It's literally too tight, especially around the buttons. Take the black part off and just have the blue piece on. I'll bet it does not do it then. What I did was on the other side, I clipped the black part of the case around the power button so that it is no longer surrounded by the black part on the volume button. Notice it will make the case much easier to go on, but still grips the phone very nicely. At the power button where you are having the problem, take a dremel or a small file and enlarge that hole a little bit. That should help also. I did both and now have no complaints whatsoever.
