Are the power and volume buttons still easy to push with this model case on the S4?
270497
Yes. The case is designed so it does not interfere with the use of the power or volume buttons.
270498
Yes. This is the best case I've ever owned. It beats the otter box and other top brands hands down.
270499
Yes. The power button and volume rocker button is easier to use with this case than the Galaxy s4 with no case. I love this case!

They function almost the same as stock, much better than other cases, I love this case!

Easy to work, yes, but at a cost, as there is basically zero protection there if you manage to drop your case right on its side.

Not bad. The power button is a little different, but the volume buttons are solid. It's still easy to press all of them, just the case power button doesn't give you as good of feedback as the bare power button.

As I said in my review: it can be TOO easily activated! The first day I had this case, I put the phone in my pocket inverted (to protect the headset plug connected to the bottom of the phone) and it powered ITSELF on -- enough times, with failed security pattern, to RESET ITSELF. So, yes, the power button is VERY easy to operate. (I fixed this by removing the case's power button "insert" altogether. It's not all that recessed...but enough to avoid accidental operation.)

I would say it is about as stiff as the two side buttons, maybe a slight bit harder to press, but very similar. It is not difficult to press down, but I also do not find myself accidentally clicking it either. I use it 9+ hours a day, as I purchased it for work and have not had any issues with any of the buttons.

It does take a little more pressure but you adjust to the touch quickly. I will have to double check the accessibility of the side buttons. The case is easy to open and close if the volume needs to be adjusted from the device.

My S4 is in a slim case so I haven't had a problem with the armband depressing the buttons but I have to use some pressure to get the phone in the case and I have a tendency to hold the phone where the buttons are. I'm getting better at remembering to push the phone in from the top instead of holding the top sides.

No they are easy to press. But the first time I dropped it it shatterd my screen. Go with the defender case much better case and the buttons are easy to press

No. The volume and power buttons are covered by the case rubber. But, the volume and power button areas have an outlined area in the rubber that could be cut out easily, I think. This case is as close to no case as it gets, yet the rubber is soft enough to offer protection. It is not like the hard plastic thin cases I have seem.

I don't think the on\off button are hard to press and I think the volume is easy to punch. The buttons are firm enough that you pocket/phone wont be able to push it but not too hard to pushing it yourself. As far as color goes, that's entirely up to you.

Im not sure which button your referring to, but if it's the main one to get to your apps and home then no it's really easy on my phone.. I like the case a lot..

Ya it definitely adds bulk and weight. The S4 feels more solid in my hand though with this case.

I haven't had any issues with it so far. It is a fairly tight fit, but it squeezes on the front and back more than it does on the sides were the on/off and volume buttons are.

The button is not hard and works nice on thie iphone5. I did not have the iphone4 case

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.

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

I actually didn't have any problems with the buttons at all. The buttons are really easy to push and you can still feel the click when you depress them.

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.
