are the buttons tough to press through the case?

Not at all, the volume button is perfect and there is a cut out for the lock button so all functions work perfectly

Not at all. The rubber over the buttons actually makes them a little easier to feel. Much better than some other cases I've tried with this phone!

Not a problem for me. Buttons are easy to feel maybe slightly harder to push if you are picky.

My son doesn't have a problem with the buttons. You do have to press the on/off button a little harder. My other child has a different case and his is much harder to use buttons. As far as touch screen, no issues at all.

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.

I haven't had any problems with it myself. The buttons are still very responsive despite the rubber casing over them.

Yes the buttons are sensitive, Only thing is as its on the same level as bummer, sometimes I end up pressing both the power button and the volume together making my phone silent.

the button are so accessible, you'll probably hit them on accident... its actually way more easy to press the buttons with the case on than off.

No, the screen protector is great actually. It does what it's supposed to do. having had this case for a few weeks, my only gripe is that you have to press harder on the home button than you would usually have to. You have to press harder on all of the buttons. Maybe this is some sort of break-in period. I'll edit my review after another month or so to see if the buttons loosen up at all. For now, they're still pretty tight.

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.

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.

Yes, I did find them hard to press when I first got it and I still find them hard to press. I wish it weren't so!

No. I have had much trouble with the buttons. I only use the key to lock/unlock it.

The case doesn't affect the side buttons. They're still really easy to press.

Hi - You can feel the buttons and have to push them down. You can't glide over them but it doesn't bother me. It's a sturdy, clean, sleek case that really protects my phone. All of that outweighs the fact that I have to push a little harder. Hope that helps! Sue

Yes with a caveat. I had to relieve the openings for the volume and power buttons with an exato knife. Simple, took no time at all and the case has performed well since.

I haven't had any problems with any of the buttons. I had a coworker mention that she had problems on her 4 with the screen protector, saying she had to push extra hard to get it to work. I had cut a stick on screen protector and stuck it on while I was waiting for the case to arrive, and ended up leaving it on even with the case, which also has it's own screen protector. I don't know if that adds enough extra thickness that allows the screen to be responsive, but anyways, I've had no issues whatsoever.
