Are the power &amp; volume buttons hard to push in with the cover on? Old otterbox case for my S3 took a lot of effort for all that tried.

I don't think that they are. They're actually easier than I thought they'd be.

yes , sliding in from the edge is uninhibited for me. The power button is slightly disguised but that is fine !

Yes the buttons are very nice and easy to push. I really like this case a lot.

The case is a bit difficult to put on because it fits so tight on phone. I feel that it does a great job keeping the phone dust free. Taking it off would seem to be harder. I will cross that path when I have replace the battery I suppose. I think the buttons work grest. Are you sure the sides have snapped into place as designed?

I have the s4 active and I take it out of the case when I put it in, it fit with the case but it would press the volume buttons and it was really annoying so you might have to take it out of the case.

No. I've had no problems using the power and volume buttons. The phone itself is very thin so I've just had trouble finding the buttons. They work perfectly fine though.

The spaces for the buttons are open. I thought this would be a problem initially, but my S4 fits snug and I have dropped my phone and it is protected very well. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure the case fits the s3 but when you try to get at the volume knobs there's a slight problem

The volume and power buttons are covered with a semi-hard matte plastic (unlike that gummy feeling soft material that alot of the cases have), so its sturdy and does not seem like it will eventually start to breakdown and fall apart. Its almost like a hard rubber bumper.

All of the buttons are now very touchy with the case on. If you squeeze anywhere along the side, it's most likely going to click the power or volume button. I assembled and reassembled it multiple times. It has something to do with the phone case design. If you look closely at the phone installed within the plastic cage, you'll notice it doesn't line up in the corners. I suspect the inner cage is generic for several larger phones and they just made a different rubber boot. The battery is worth the small annoyance to me.

I didn't find any issues with pressing the buttons. My overall concern was with how fast the case ripped and wore out. Maybe it's a result of pressing the buttons? If you are looking for a long term case I'd pass on this one until they make it more robust.

Yes. The power and volume buttons are covered by the case, however, I have had no problem pushing the buttons through the case. The areas over those buttons are formed and raised so they look like buttons, but are actually part of the case. You can easily tell where the buttons are by touch.

to me personally its about average when you put a protective case on it. i personally dont think its very bulky. we've not used an otterbox on this phone yet

The case is molded for the buttons. I haven't had a problem hitting power or the volume rocker. They are covered (which is kind of a bummer from a MotoMaker standpoint) but it's a nice case. Access to the dimple and the case's soft touch back made it worth the purchase to me.

Mine fits better than the otter box I had. The buttons on the otter box had to be pushed ridiculously hard, now the lightest touch works.

That was my initial worry before I purchased it. Rest assured it does NOT make it harder to push the buttons. Not even a tiny insignificant amount. I was very happy with my case.

I have found that the phone fits into the case very snuggly but it is possible when sliding the phone down into the case that you can push too hard and have the phone begin to slide through the case and out the bottom. I've only done that a couple of times so i am careful when putting the phone back in the case. I haven't had any problems after i figured that out. I am not sure that this is exactly an OEM case. I bought my first case from Verizon $$, and it seemed to fit better than this one but the belt clip broke and could not fix. Ordered this one because of the price and it seems to work just fine. It holds the phone tightly enough and no problems. I am happy with it, especially at this price.
