How do you get the case apart to put the phone in it? It apparently has 3 pieces but I cannot get the rubber rim off. I am afraid of breaking case.

Start from the bottom of the case where you charge the case. Then peel off each direction. Hope this helps

It's not easy to do lol, I ended up with a sharp tug and a quick pull and the rubber came off the case. It may take you a few minutes but yoyou should be able to get itit off.

You have to slowly pry it from where the rubber meets the plastic. You have to be a little rough, but don't worry because it is very strong

To be honest I am so confused with this case I don't know how to put it together I bought the 7500mAh battery also and use that case instead I have both batteries and use the pocket charger to carry with me I bought the the second battery as a back up. I do plan to ask Zerolemon how to use the case but the case on the 7500mAh battery slides on very easy more so than the 8500mAh. If you find out how to assemble this case before I do please let me know. I can honestly say having 2 extended batteries is awesome I never go dead wherever I am .....Tomas

I use a knife and gently press on each one of the tabs/fasteners. It takes a while. It's a real pain to get off.

I am guessing you might be having trouble with the metal piece. To put it on, start the piece from the back of the phone sliding it forward, doing so evenly. To remove the piece, reverse the process. I found the easiest place to start removal is upper top right corner area. Once started, work around the phone evenly, sliding piece toward back of phone. Hope this helps. I will answer any more ? if needed.

I don't think you can without tearing the phone apart. I did check on YouTube and there was a posted video of someone removing it. I attempted that on the phone (same model but one that my daughter face planted into the floor) and I ended up tearing the phone apart to the point where had it not already been unusable, it was then.

Hello,There are 3 parts to this case. The original phone back back remains in place. part one is a rubbery piece that fits the back and the sides. Art two is a hard plastic part that fits over the rubbery piece on the back and sides. Part 3 is a frame around the front that slides over the sides and locks in place. Once all is locked in place, I can access the on/off button on the right side because the case leaves this button exposed. But the case covers the volume control on the left side and I cannot adjust the volume without taking the case apart. I could be wrong though, so I want to make sure that I may be totally missing something. Hope this is helpful. Hello,There are 3 parts to this case.

Take the black rubber case off,then separate the pink case. The pink case comes apart at the seams. Put your phone in the bottom half of the pink case then put the top half back on then put the black rubber cover over the pink case with your phone in it.

The rubber on the outside comes off. It's kinda hard to do but it will peal over the plastic and come off. Then the place is is in two pieces. Top and bottom and they will snap apart. The snap back together and slide back into the outside rubber

The front sits tightly inside the back piece which has a slightly rubbery feel to it on the sides. If you start at one of the corners you should be able to hold the front of the case still with your left thumb (if you are right handed) and with the thumb on your right hand pull back on the corner and it should come apart. It took me a few tries when I got it. I love the case so give it a try.

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :) Thanks

I'm not using this phone, but it seems to me that I had this problem when I first tried it. I think there's a small notch on the side of the phone toward the bottom. You can pry the back off the phone using a small screwdriver in this notch. I think.

It is incredibly easy to get phone out if case. It is in 3 pieces. Just pull off one at a time. Done..

do the exact opposite order for how you put it on. unsnap the screen cover from each of the little half circle clip things that hook around the edges. then the rubber part should come off. its pretty tough but just be careful and it should be fine. then the hard plastic main part is last to come off. its the toughest part. good luck, hope this helps!

The case had a real hard outer skin wich take a little force to remove it's ok it will not break. then there are 3 tabs you have to pop open after you get it tabs open put phone in case. Now put the case back together the outer case is hard ruber it will stretch push all the ruber tabs down and enjoy your new case.

You have to completely separate the black rubber from the plastic piece. Put the Nexus in, then go around the edges reattaching the rubber. When you are all done, the Nexus is completely encased. I hope that makes sense... too bad they didn't send directions.

On one side there should be two openings just on one side. It helps to have have something flat and strong (not easily breakable) and slide it in the hole going toward the back and push up to unclick the locking bumps that keep it together and do it to both sides now it probably won't jut fall of then because the middle locking bump on the side has no hole so it's still locked so just pull the two sides up that are unlocked, up to pop the middle out of place to take the case off :)

Yes the plastic back and front are hard to get apart .. I suggest using as I do a dime preferrably and puttig the side of the dime into the lil slit in the case and twist .. it will break apart the top part and just simply work your wayaround the rest of the phone with your hands .. Sorry I tried using my fingernails and my nails broke and I did NOT get the case open either!! GOOD LUCK, The back and front case is hard to open!!

I gently pried the phone out of at least 2 corners before trying anywhere else, that's how I got mine out and the case is in one piece as well as the phone

It would take a lot of force for it to come out of the case I would imagine. I actually have a tough time removing it, which is nice.
