How are the buttons when using this case? Are they difficult to press? I like my Otterbox, but i find it difficult to press the buttons

Very easy to use. The buttons will be found easily and are not difficult to press. On other side I didn't have any Otterbox. So it's not so easy for me to compare it.

I really don't have any problems with my Lifeproof case. Pressing the buttons are easy to do. The larger size got to me initially, but I am enjoying my purchase.

I have not had any issues. I feel like this case fits a little tighter, so, that may be why.

My daughter says - no problem pressing buttons and she can use the iTouch feature. You still need to be careful with the screen protector, because once it is scuffed/scratched that's it. You might check with Lifeproof about how you replace and retain the waterproof seal.

All the buttons work great and actually improve the ease of use. The fingerprint gave me a challenge at first, but I was pressing too hard. This is an excellent case!

The other buttons are fine. Its just the home button cover that is badly built. Screen cover is less responsive thAn the otterbox but good enough for me

All buttons can be used easily even the silent button on the side don't even know the phone is in a case.

The volume, home, and power key are perfect. The mute button doesn't have the click but I got used to it and was able to work with it. If all else were improved the buttons wouldn't be a deal breaker.

I am in agreement with Jessica. THe otterbox is bulkier than this case. My husband had the defender and it is definitely thicker than this one.

I've never had an Otterbox. Probably it's not the same. But it is really durable and solid. I've used it for months and it's held up to and protected my phone from drops and damage. I really like it.

Yes the buttons are very nice and easy to push. I really like this case a lot.

I basically dismantled my otterbox so it's more user friendly. I cut off the flaps and took out the black coverings near the bottom so people could hear me better. It has good protection if I drop it and that's all I need. The flaps just got in my way.

It's not hard to push the volume up/down buttons, although you don't really need to since you can change the volume in Android as well. As to the power switch, it's a little harder, but I think that's a good thing. This means you can place the phone face up on a hard surface without any risk of accidentially powering it off.Any difficulty with the power switch pales in comparison with the benefits of the case. It's the thinnest cellphone protective case I've ever used, and I know by experience, it protects well.

I find them sensitive. They press too easy even when I am just trying to get the phone out of my pocket. I do like the case though despite this flow.

It has very hard case which is really protective. When you try to take off the pink part you have to be pretty strong to do it. The plastic cover for the screen comes with it so that is better. Personally it is just like an otter box but stronger. Just be careful of the paint.

No, the buttons are extremely easy to press, and you should get the white. It's an amazing case.

I have not had any problems pushing the buttons. I really like this case and would definitely purchase it again!

I also find it hard to take the case off the phone, but I think that's a good thing because I don't want the phone to accidentally come out of the case. However, I did accomplish it once by starting at the corner near the volume buttons. The case seems to be weakest there. Then I worked my way down that edge, pushing the case back as I went. (By the way, my original comment in my review was that I found it easy to remove the phone, in its case, from the holster. Some reviewers said they had trouble answering the phone because they could not pull the phone from the holster. I hope that I did not cause any confusion.)

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

Mine fits better than the otter box I had. The buttons on the otter box had to be pushed ridiculously hard, now the lightest touch works.

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.

No, mine had the same problem. I switched to an Otterbox and I am much happier. I mentioned this problem when I reviewed the product a few weeks ago.

Just so people know, I have had this case for the last six months, including other family and friends. We all agree that the "on" button is hard to push in order to turn the phone on once within the case. I love the case but I'm searching for a new one now because it is a hassle.
