Will this case affect me to press the volume and power/lock key?

The case lets you press both the volume and the lock key easily when you are holding it. :)

No ,, it's a really good cases you can use all the features on your phone..

The case does cover the volume switches.. however I have not come across any problems with the switches registering and changing the volume up and down as needed when I press the + and - volume keys

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though.I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

No, just a hair too tight which causes power button issues. Get the case ment for the retina mini.

I don't think that feature is available with this model. I certainly don't see that happening. The cover stays closed with just a small magnet. I always press the power button.

I had the same problem with the volume. The case is too tight for the phone to fit in without it pressing on the buttons when you put it together. I didn't want to take the chance of breaking the buttons so I returned mine.

I don't think so. The only things beyond the standard keys are special functions for doing things like turning the volume up and down.

So on the top of the protector it replaces the eject key with the power button symbol, the loud volume with the ejection key and so fourth. The only keys that would be in the correct place on the top row is the escape button, the F1 and F2 keys. Otherwise everything else is in the right place aside from the top row. I am used to where the original keys are so it doesn't really bother me about the keys being in the wrong place on the protector it all really depends on the buyer. The color looks great though but will block out some of the keyboard light.

home button is not blocked by the case. the case does cover the volume and power buttons with soft rubber nubs. I actually found that those buttons work better with the case nubs because the additional height of the nubs made those buttons more obvious for "touch" use.

Not sure but I went back to my old case. I use it when I type a lot. Keys stick

Yes it's unfortunately a known issue. I modified mine by clipping the thin piece of black plastic just above the power button completely away. Removing this piece of plastic does not seem to affect the integrity or function of the case as mine works great now.

No, not at all. I have just LOVED my case. Now, if I place my thumb over the speaker port it will pretty much cancel it out... but thats entirely up to me to do. I give this case my highest recommendation. Just be ready to add some significant weight to your phone with this case. It's VERY heavy duty. But, I've dropped it more than a few times and it didn't get so much as a mark on it. Also, the case makes your phone larger in size to be sure. My briefcase has a compartment for cell phones that with this case, my phone couldn't even hope to get into. However, that's such a small price to pay for such extreme protection and a really great, masculine look to my phone.

No, but it does cause the screen to go black during calls sometime, thereby rendering it unresponsive. None if the buttons and keys work. You have to take the case off when this happens in order to get the phone working again.

Nope, I have not had any troubles with either of the power or volume buttons. I've pretty much forgotten that my phone has a case. It's that good!

Nope. It doesn't line up with the volume down button either. You might want to pick another case.

If you are meaning the volume button and screen button, No. That was one of my worries as well as the last case I had did not allow me to push the screen button or be able to do screen shots. With this case everything is still completely functionable.
