On the epic:
I use my fingernail to take out the battery door cause it just pops right out. When you see the battery -just look to the bottom right corner you'll see an indent spacing below the battery for your fingers. I can only imagine you'll need stylus if your fingers were any bigger than that. lol j/k But if you have a front/back casing and a plastic holster for your phone... FORGET IT.
Unlike the palm pre (or palm pixi) I had an extended 2600mAh battery that was thicker than a treo, lasted me all day. I wanted to install a front/back case with it but none of the accessories made one for the extended batteries. So I decided to go with a front screen protector and a universal rugged pouch mounted on my waist... as for the battery you have to squeeze and hold until it pops out from the bottom to the top back of the phone. When you put the battery door back on, you hook the top on first then lay it down to the bottom the same way with the epic. This was so much easier to manage.
protection: I actually got out the car forgetting that it was still on my lap... got out of car NOT hearing it fall out, stepped on it real hard I heard a loud scrape... when I saw the phone face down on the road I picked it up and it was still looking good as new.. but the battery door was scratch up a little bit because I dropped my phone 200 times before. But that didn't hurt my investment since it's not the original door that came with the phone. It's in fact a better door than the one that came with this phone.
And I did that because I'm a clumsy type. I been doing this since I was 18 when I walked right out the sprint store after signing a new contract. I dropped my phone literally in front of me while a car ran over it.
