Can someone explain how this works when making and receiving calls ? Can you easily slip it out and back in or leave it in all the time ? Thanks !

You can make and receive calls and use all of the apps and functions without taking the phone out of the case. The E-LV has a magnetized tab to keep it closed, but it can be opened with one hand. You only need to take it out to change the battery, SIM card or microSD card.

Leave it in, fold the cover back. I tuck the end of the fastener under the back of the phone, keeps it out of the way.

Leave it in and fold back the top flap (against the back). My wife loves hers and says the fit is perfect, the camera, speakers, and button are all easily accessible without having to remove from the case. Small and very smart!

It fits into a housing and you leave it in all the time. Open the top flap to answer calls and use the phone. Holes on the back for camera.

I can on my iPhone 4S. Just click the button and your call is answered. Click again and you hang up and you music resumes. The only downside is that the music advances the entire time you are on the phone so a new song may be playing when you return.

not sure what you mean....when dialing out or when receiving a call...when dialing stays on until you press talk...when receiving stays on unil you answer the call..never really paid any attention as to how long.

I think it's because the case completely seals the phone. You can hear your calls, but sometimes it will be difficult. For example in noisy places. I've never had a problem with callers unable to hear me. The mic (where you speak into) and the speakers at he bottom have a special opening that allows sound in & out but is still sealed. The part you place by your ear is plastic. I think that is why hearing calls can sometimes be iffy.

The phone rings. The screen in the middle lights up showing the caller id and indicating if the call is from YOUR connected cell phones OR your LAND line (if you have one).You pick up the phone -- you can press the answer button OR the speaker ON button. When finished you can press the end call button or simply hang up -- the phone disconnects when the other party hangs up.I use the answer and hang up buttons about 99% of the time -- it is easy. I don't know if the phone can be set to answer when you pick it up off of the cradle/charger -- but the documentation or on line will tell you.I love the integration of the cell and the land line into one. Very cool. The phone rings.

Just received - how do you work this? I've tried on 2 calls and both could barely hear me... I am not sure if I have it plugged in correctly. Advice? Thank you!

Yep, music fades out as a new call comes in through the car's audio system. Your phone's mic is used for your voice and the car's speakers dish out the other end. My car was pretty loud, so it was sometimes hard to hear the person on the other line and I could never hear the ringtone, but heard the vibration and the music fade out.It works well.

Yes but not simultaneously (obviously). Say your speaking to someone on a land line call and someone else calls in on the cell line, you can't just "flash" over to the new call, you have to put the first caller on "Hold" (there's a button for that) then answer the cell call. Then if you want to switch back over to the land line call you will have to put the cell call on "Hold" the switch back over to the land line call. It's not difficult, you just have to remember that you can't flash back and forth between callers. You need to remember to use the "Hold" button otherwise you will hang up on one of your callers. Hope this helps.

When there is an incoming call and you answer, it will switch to the call and you can hear them but you can't speak back because it does not a speaker to accept audio. Hope that makes sense and helps!

It doesn't come off easy. You have to be trying to get it off. In the pocket has never been an issue with it coming off. Great device. Mt only issue is -> I can't activate Siri on iPhone with it like other plantronics can. I have accidentally washed the whole thing in the easy 6 times and then dried it and it still works. Great device!

I'm so use to it by now but it's flexible so I feel it's fairly simple to slip it in. If you insert the top part of the phone in first then the bottom flaps just fold right over the bottom, takes just a sec. Hope this helps. :)

While I haven't used phone frequently in the situation you described, I can advise that I have not had a problem. The one disappointment that I have with this phone is that the cord is not replaceable. I had hoped to use as a wall phone, but cord is much too short. It has been put into service as a desk phone.

I don't do it that often, but I think you only can see that option when you are "in" a call. I think the top left button brings up that option. Works well.

My wife doesn't use it. But my guess is within the phone. Take the phone out. Which to be honest doesnt make sense. Sorry not much help.
