How difficult is it to change batteries when utilizing the case?

Not Difficult at all. This case simply snaps onto the phone. To remove you just grab a corner and push from the center on the back of the phone, then the phone pops out! Awesome Case!

You will have to remove the case in order to replace the battery. The case is made from soft plastic so it slips on and off pretty easy.

It is not too difficult to remove the case. I typically removed the phone by separating it from the case where the stylus is. Once you have done it a few times, it becomes second nature. I typically popped the case on and off once a day to swap batteries and had no issues. After about 6 months the case cracked - not a big deal given how inexpensive it is.

It takes a large/wide, flat head screwdriver. Careful. Don't stab yourself. Insert into one side and go down 1/4" and pry up around the edges. There is a "rubber lip" towards the bottom that keeps everything intact but you must be careful not to go too deep. Keep prying up around the edges, the first time is the hardest. Once you get it out, the battery replacement is easy.

Ordinarily you don't need to 'remove the cover', you merely unlock the entire housing from the mounting base and the battery immediately accessible for changing. It does look like somehow you can release a couple of locking tabs that are either side of the battery compartment to release the two parts of the housing from each other.

YouTube videos will show you how to replace the battery however it is very easy to do. I did not even use the tool provided. Gently remove back of case with your fingernails. Go all around the outside of the case working it a little at a time. Pry wire connection apart (don't pull on wires) and replace battery. Snap back of case into place. Make sure you completely charge battery before turning tablet on. good luck.

Turn the light so the black on/off button is on top. On that same side of the bulb/battery case, you'll see a series of little ridges, then the lip of the black back of the case. With one thumb, press down on the little ridges; with the other thumb, push against the lip of the case back until the back comes off. If you're having trouble, put more pressure on the little ridges. Change the batteries. When you're putting the case back together, put the other edges of the case together, then press down on the little ridges while you bring the back to snap back together.

No, it is a pain to open, unless you have decent fingernails. You have to undo ~8 clips around the edges. I would recommend an external battery instead if you really want this case.

Ha! Funny you should ask because I have to change my battery also. If you look at your two ear pieces you will notice that half of one is half black and half green. That is where the batteries are located at. Gently, with your fingers, push up and that black cover should move and then lift it off. Once you are done make sure that you snap it back into place and that it is firmly secured.

It is really easy to change the batteries! Just pop the tab and the cover comes off, the old battery falls out and you can drop the new one in and the cover goes back on =]

i just literally opened up my old case, took out the circuit board, put the circuit board in the new case, and you should be good to go (and put in the button covers and all that stuff). EXCEPT...read some comments about using the metal clip to hold the battery and make a ground connection. you may need that little piece from your old set. but it's easy to put it in there especially if you take a picture and put it in exactly how you see it. I didn't have any trouble though.

Yes, but you will have to crack it open to change it. Very light technical knowlodge required. You can find lots of tutorial and videos showing you how to open it for many reasons, then, you will eventually see how to change the battery. It´s fairly easy and simple, it´s not Apple style inside.

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.

Not difficult at all. Just grasp the battery box firmly and pull straight out.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

It's not too bad. You do not need to temove the entire lighting system to change the batteries. You just have to remove each of the 3 battery covers (using a screwdriver). Of course, If you have lights on the front and on the back, you'll be changing six batteries total. It does take a little time and it might be a little tricky just because of where the screws in the battery cover end up being in comparison to the spokes on the wheel. However I don't find it to be that big a deal. The lights are so much fun, so eye-catching, and so helpful in terms of safety, they are well worth the effort! It's not too bad.

comes with battery, I know you can change them, but it's not easy or meant to be changed. I've not changed mine yet. Do not leave it plugged in all the time, charge it, then use it and when it starts to slow down a lot, charge it back up for 6 hours. I use mine all the time, and travel with it, so I put some painter's tape over the on/off switch so it doesn't run itself out, I put it in a ziplock back wrapped in a paper towel and I take it with me. Well worth the money, I hope you like it too.

Yes, it works fine and is very easy to replace. Battery case comes apart and you can see what to do.
