I have probably a stupid question, BUT, do you take the foam strip out of the case before you put in the phone?

That's right - you take the foam strip out. It is there only so that during shipping the shape is maintained. Thanks for your inquiry! - CrazyOnDigital

Yes it does I do the same thing just use ur hand and pry it from either the left or right side when the phone is in the case

As best as I can tell, no, the foam is mounted into the back of the case. You probably COULD remove it once, but I don't know that you could get it back in place successfully. I mount my pins directly into the foam, in the case.

No, it's just a case you slip the phone into & it fits perfectly. I have no issues with the phone coming out of the case unless I take it out.

Depends on wht type if case it is.....if it's a jelly skin.....u can leave on. If it's an otter box or hard shell case, then u WILL have to remove it.

I do it all the time... my phone is never out of the case. It really isn't awkward and in someway helps hold the phone.

Yes. If you mean a case, take it off b4 you put the screen protector on so it doesnt get in the way.

Absolutely not. I rarely take my phone out of the case at all. Mostly to clean the phone or case. I love this case. Want to order another one for color options. It's been great, looks nice and is functional. Awkward at first when I was taking pics because it opens like a book. You get use to it.

I had no problems getting the phone out of the case. It should not be the most simple thing in the world. I just pry the corner where the camera is away and the push the phone out through that camera hole and then just pry it the rest of the way out with my finger. IMO...it's probably best that it doesn't just slip right out of the case.

Yes. There is a deadspot on the mid-right side of the screen. It is fine if I take it out of the case. Also note that I did not remove the sticker that is inside the case, as instructed.

You do not have to remove any parts of the phone. This is a rubber case. The phone fits right into the case. Hope this helps.

I would put some of mine in the case. Now I remove the case altogether and just put a pack of wipes in the zip pocket with the openings aligned.

You don't need to remove anything or snip it off. Not sure why people answer this and say "it looks like". Not sure why the reply about an unrelated phone.Perhaps that means they don't have the case? We own 3 cases and 3 iPhone 5s. This is for iPhone 5 and 5s ONLY. I haven't take my case off since I put it on. charges perfectly

Not sure how to take it off carefully. I pried it off with a knife. I have since upgraded to otterbox model 77-19695. Its not a perfect fit but all the holes are in the right spots and when the silicone is on it looks normal.

It fits into a small slot below the power button. give it a little twist and pop off your case without marring the case or phone.

It pops right into the case. No alterations necessary. If you want to remove the phone from the case you need to start by the power switch first.

It is not designed to be removed. The clip is not part of the case itself though. The clip is part of the holster that comes with the case. It adds bulk, but you can leave the phone in the case, and drop it in a bag or pocket.
