Does this case affect operation of the phone's buttons, i.e. making them harder to push?

No it doesn't affect the buttons any more than you would expect this case to. The buttons remain easily accessible as well as the fact that charging is very simple. I had another case that had to be removed in order to charge and this one doesn't have that problem

It makes the Power button easier to use, and the camera and volume up/down buttons need a little extra force, but not much.

No in fact I like it better with it on. Especially the lock button is easier to use with the case.

This case won't help with that. It does cover the home button, but it does not prevent pressing it. It's just a protective cover. If it's any consolation, my toddler stopped pressing the home button soon after 18 mo, and this case is so great - it's practically indestructible :)

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

No, it does not. And the power button is covered which makes it a little difficult to push. But its definately a good case. I love it.

Yes. But it's sensitive to your pushing the button so if it's done carelessly it will move it away from where it was last.

Well, you can't feel the buttons click through the case so there's no real feedback, and they're somewhat harder to press then other cases, but I wouldn't call them impossible. After about a week I got used to it. I also find the power button a bit harder to press then the volume buttons, maybe it's just me.

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.

No, these cases just adjust to the buttons, i think that it will work for you. Try one.

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.

Yes. The power and volume buttons are covered by the case, however, I have had no problem pushing the buttons through the case. The areas over those buttons are formed and raised so they look like buttons, but are actually part of the case. You can easily tell where the buttons are by touch.

I personally do not like it, it makes the screen harder to push... BUUTT you can take it off with out damaging the case at all. its just sorta stuck on, and pulls off very easily.

I didn't find any issues with pressing the buttons. My overall concern was with how fast the case ripped and wore out. Maybe it's a result of pressing the buttons? If you are looking for a long term case I'd pass on this one until they make it more robust.

I've had no problems w the case applying pressure on the buttons. Love my case.

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!

No, I haven't had any issues with the power button. I'd suggest taking the soft case off and try putting it back on to make sure the fit is secure.

It did/does on ours tooo until I didnt pull tight at switch tight around that area....its around but not fastened at frame or screen as rest of case.. can only describe in pic I think..the buttons work fine loosened case and tablet still protected. Personally I think they need to remold the and send us new ones for the price we paid.

No, the buttons are not difficult to operate with the case on. Very good case sturdy but not bulky.
