Are you able to use the side buttons on the phone while it is in this case?

Yes to some degree. A side note is that just the top of the case is waterproof. The bottom is not so the contents of your case are susceptible to bottom spray.

There are +/- buttons on the side for volume control, but you can use volume buttons on your phone.

This case has great grip on the sides. It is also very sturdy. Because it is sturdy, however, the buttons take a little more pressure than without the case. I hope this answer helps.

No. The buttons are open so they can be accessed. Had this case for over a year and this has never been an issue.

Yes you can. You might need to reset your thumb once the case is on because you put your thumb at different angles that way, but yes it works well

No I don't think so, but it is very good to protect the phone and specially to have access to buttons, it is very well designedbest regards

No. The charging port is sealed within the case. You also cannot hit the lock key or volume control buttons while its in the case.

Yea you definitely can. You can also charge the case and you're phone at the same time. So I'm definitely in love with this case

Yes you can. The buttons are covered by the case, but the case has a plus and minus outline in it over the buttons and activates the actual nano volume buttons under it.

Yes! I've had no problem accessing the buttons. The case is a pretty slim profile and it dips on the backside to give you more space to access those buttons.

Yes you can the phone while in the case. The face of the case is a stretchy film. It's a great case, I use it for Geocaching. I don't worry about my phone getting wet and the lanyard lets me use both my hands to search for the cache

You could put an ipod in it, but you wouldn't be able to use all the side buttons. It might go too far in the case which will make it look weird

Hi! You can flip it up and use it while it's still in the case. I bought it for my dad's phone and I've never seen him have to take the phone out of the case.

Yes. The case is designed so it does not interfere with the use of the power or volume buttons.

I found that it was easier to use the buttons on the back once the case was on the phone. I also feel the buttons and rear camera are protected by the case. The case in no way hinders the use of the phone.

Yes, the side of the case is open except for a strap across the middle to hold the phone in.
