Are the side buttons easy to use by feel? Are they raised enough to find and is it easy to tell which button is volume up/down in your pocket?

It's easy to tell the difference between the volume and the power button but not the up and down buttons. Hope that helps.

The buttons are raised and the volume buttons were easy to use from the start but the power button took some breaking in to be really easy to use.

It took me some time but the buttons feel natural now. It took about a week to get the feel for me it might be less for you.

Yes, the volume buttons on the case are a bit stiff but not difficult to use. Accessing the ports (headset jack, charge/connection port, sound on/off switch) is cumbersome but gets easier with practice. By necessity, the port connections are the most critical areas for the case to protect since they are where water and dirt can get into the iPhone. Consequently the covers for these areas are quite snug, which makes them challenging to open.

There are two small buttons on the side for the volume, it doesn't go very high though.

The on and volume buttons? Very easy. They are slightly raised and have good placement.

the buttons work semi well. the middle button does play/pause. the volume buttons don't work at all with my phone. I tried a app and it will only skip songs. overall it works decently enough.

It depends on the user. It was easy for me to press on/off button. You being a guy, I could see you might encounter some issues with the buttons.

The case has raised buttons, they definitely do not get in the way and there easy to use. This case is seriously amazing, I love it.

Its not as easy as without a cover, definately harder to push, but I wouldnt consider it excessively hard, especially when the silicone breaks in a little bit. I find the stiffer buttons handy to avoid pocket dialing, volume changes, etc. Id say power button is stiffer than the volume buttons.

On # 1 I believe the volume is up to loud. can't tell you on #2, I never use the read button, sorry. I have 4 of them for the family and we have no problems.

Hi Vanessa! The power button at the top has to be pushed a little harder but not really a big deal in my opinion. The volume buttons work fine. Hope this helps!

Yes it does, the only thing that really bothers me is the button is really marked in any way. It seems like the button does what it thinks you want. Sometimes it'll pause music or turn the volume up when you press it in the same place at different times. But they sibs great!

I flipped mine around to test, and that section of the flap is soft enough where the buttons still work. If you still find that difficult, a sharp utility or exacto knife would cut a clean, small window for the volume buttons.

Yes the buttons are super easy to use. I have 2 smaller kids (7&9) that don't have any problems using or powering on/off. Superb case-definitely recommend.

I just turned it on and off many times to be sure. It's not a huge button, in fact it feels small. Yet it engages easily and gives you a positive "click." Plus they give you two extra buttons in case you wear the first one out.

The unit's volume control is on the left side as a small bar with bumps at its ends that are easy to feel. Press top end to increase volume and bottom end to decrease. I found it is easy to operate without taking unit out of pocket and bar . Note that the whole unit is not very big, about 1.25" x 2.25" and light weight. Volume also has two setup settings: normal and loud that set a high volume limit (nice).

It has decent volume control. Takes about 6 clicks to lower or increase volume significantly. Select and hold up volume button changes volume increase quickly.
