Is the backside of this item neoprene, and does it look the seams will stay sewn/ hold up? Also want to know if you can press side buttons easily.

The side button press is "okay" at best, sometimes I have to push in a few times to find where the buttons are. As for the neoprene, it goes the entire way around on the back of the main section as well as the straps. The strap is actually where I have the biggest problem for this item. I have had it for about 2 months, and use it roughly 3-4 times per week at Planet Fitness using their machines and free-weights. I am 6'1" and 180 lbs, looking to add muscle, but am not overly muscular currently. After this moderate use over the last 2 months I have recently had to stop using this product as the velcro no longer stays attached. The "loop" side of the hook-and-loop has become significantly frayed and won't stay attached. The only way it would work would be for me to sew on new loop material or to move it to a thicker part of my arm to change where the velcro attaches to itself. Although I am disappointed in this products life-span I guess at the price point I got what I paid for.

The backside is the same material as the strap. The seam has held up thus far, and doesn't look like it'll ever break..unless you're the hulk lol. The only down fall I'd say would be that the Velcro sucks and is pretty much useless after a while...side buttons can be pressed if you know where you're pressing.

Hi. I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach Retro iron. I iron daily and am very particular about my iron and having my clothes nicely pressed. I have owned both inexpensive and very expensive irons in the past and was generally uninspired by the performance. This retro iron is great. It offers the basics in terms of features but does what an iron should do - provide nice heat and steam which result in a neatly pressed garment or fabric. I am extremely happy with this iron. Hope this helps.

I got mine a couple months ago and the buttons are fine. While researching the case, I read that some of the older models were bad about that. So if you have an older one, I'd request to swap it with a newer one through them.

I just noticed mine doing the same thing last night. Perhaps if we can find a friend who sews!! It'd be cute to make a cover for it somehow!

The Velcro is back there. But I can't say I notice it all. Every once in a while while I flip to my front side I remember it there (when I'm sill awake, never when already sleeping). But really happy with it. FYI. I'm a hobo shift worker. Not associated with anything but myself. Would recommend to anyone

Does your stock have the button on the end to release the stock from the folding position? If so, I don't think this one would work unless you could bore out another hole for that button. I would recommend a slip on pad like a limbsaver or something. They everywhere for pretty cheap. Hope this helps

There are a dozen or so buttons along the bottom. They're "hidden" in that if you iron along the seam, they sit inside and then fold the seam over.

I have had my machine for two years this month, and still like it! I generally sew mid-weight fabrics (clothing alternations, bags/purses) and it's going strong. Struggles a bit with thick layers like seams on denim, and sometimes very lightweight fabrics get tangled, but work slow and it's fine. I don't use a lot of the decorative stitch options, but everything seems to be in good working order.

I had my last button on for about a month and I recently switched it out with a new button, and a little residue was left behind. A damp cloth removed it after about a minute if gentle wiping. The adhesive they use is very soft and pliable allowing repositioning when desired, which is nice, but not without fault. Hope this helps.

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.

Honestly i never had a problem with the side buttons. If anything you could return it to get a new one if its damaged spigen is good with returns.

I didn't try to open it as it is not real leather as it was originally described and looked like cheap alligator skin or something. But it probably has a standard latch? Try pushing anything that looks or feels like a button tab and it will probably open. Or you should just save your money and get a different one

IF you are talking about the cover, No on the "cutting out" the cut outs. If you have it on properly it should expose the buttons. And the other answer does make a good point about "sloppy manufacturing".

The Velcro will fail over time, and the nylon will look worn quick. The leather is much stronger and the button keeps it secure much better, it's was a no brainier for me at 6 bucks. It's on me all day and I have zero complaints about it.

No, the cover does not hinder movement. I actually prefer the rear buttons now that I'm used to them. The reason is I find the rear buttons to be a more natural feel.

the backing irons on. However, i ended up sewing it on as well because there was a spot where it started coming undone a little bit.

Absolutely there are spaces on both the right or the left of item that makes it easy to sew. However you could just sew over the velcro i dont see why not it would not affect the item at all in my opinion! But the answer to your question is yes!!
