Has anyone had issues with the mic/speakers on the bottom of the phone? The holes on the case don't seem to line up well.

My case that I ordered lines up perfectly with the headphone jack, power port, and the speakers are covered up by the case, but the case has tiny holes for the speakers and the sound quality is great

I haven't experienced that problem. The case protects the phone and has covered flaps for the charger and headphones but nothing seems to hinder reception or use. Hope that helps.

just looked at it and there doesn't seem to be an issue with mine. I took off the case and the gap when closed is the same with and with out the cover. hope that helps

No, not at all. The only problems I've had with that were related to having dust and debris collect more easily in the microphone and speaker holes due to it being slightly more difficult to clean them out because of having a case on it. Whenever it accumulates I just take a tack or a pin and carefully clean out the holes, then no more problems.

No I haven't experienced this, it may depend on the ring tone but I've never had a problem with my speakers or ringer being muffled

I already did.. i think the s5 phones have quite some problems with their mic.ive been using the case for almost 2 months now. Best case so far

Talking on the phone I can hear clearly but I do not know how well they can hear me. So far I haven't had problems. Things like speaker and ringing is quieter(as expected) but I've put mine under water, been around drywall dust and hasn't leaked into the case to the phone

Mine has a hole right where the charger port is located on the phone. If yours does not, I would suggest it is a defect.

The top or bottom of the case is likely upside down. Try it and see if it fixes the issue. It happened to me also until I inverted the top piece

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings>networks tab>call>noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.

No,however there are 16 little holes in the bottom over the mic and I have had no issues w/ the mic like people saying that the cannot hear me. As I indicated this is the best one yet!

Yes... my charging port cover broke off. Also the microphone whole is deep so in some cases it muffles the sound.

The speaker does lose about 40% in volume when laying flat. But that's because of the phone's speaker design, not due to the case. The same problem exist whether a case is used or not.

1) I got a complaint today about muffled voice. May be caller's issue. First time I have heard that. 2) Yes, there is a long slot underneath, accessed on the phone side.

I'd contact Clam Case for support issues. My case works fine except the fact that in now has cracks all along the bottom. All of the people I know who've purchased ones have the same issue. If you're within the return date, I'd return it because it's inevitable. http://imgur.com/5HQmqT1

In the outer rubberized case, there are two sets of two rows of holes - one over the speaker and one over the mic area. Under the outer cover and in the casing itself, it is an open area. I think they were trying to provide dust and water protection, but the inner case is indeed an open area. (Just looked)

I checked mine just now, and with the case closed and the phone sitting on the desk in front of me, it successfully responded to my voice request. It might work better if I poked a hole through the case where the front microphone is.
