I'd guess about 1/8 to 1/4 inch to either side. The buttons are not covered

No it is not bulky at all! The back buttons are not covered overall it defends your phone well

The black silicone case has slots for the arm band that might fit on a belt. I am not using the flip case and don't remember what the back is like.

Yes It fits very well. I personally like that the back buttons are covered . It makes them alot easier to press. The case doesn't add to much bulk. It fits in pants pockets normally. This case has saved me a couple times already.

I'd say its noticeable if you look directly at it. It's not bulky by any means. I bought it for my brother who is a cop and he loves it. He wears it all the time.

it does have a cutout for the buttons. the only thing is that since the case is little bulky, you will find it uncomfortable to press the back button until you are used to it

Actually I don't even use the belt clip part. It's uncomfortable, but I carry it just fine just like you plan to. Just make sure you purchase screen protectors. Other than that for the money I love it. I even dropped my phone more than a few times and no harm done.Hope this helped

You get two pieces. The outer protector which includes kick stand. I do use a stand either but it is concealed and not in the way at all. The other piece is a solid outer cover. I don't use this either ...it has a spring belt clip on it. The outer she'll is not bulky at all. I am very pleased with it.

The buttons are exposed but armored peripherally when the phone is out of the holster case, and they can be used freely that way but, when in the clip-case slide (holster), the screen and buttons are all protected and cant be used or pushed by accident. It works great , and slides in easily but stays tight! NICE!

I believe the battery is a 4200 mAh so the case is definitely larger. I have to say after using it, I actually prefer the extra bulk. Feels more solid and still slips intoy front trouser pocket. No honeycomb. That's extra.

There is no back cover so the keyboard is exposed. But I haven't had an issue with pressing the wrong keys when using the remote.

It's not thin. It's about the width of the phone plus another half an inch. I find it comfortable to carry around and to place in my back pocket. It will securely hold two credit cards and drivers license. In my opinion the functionality and usefulness of the case outweigh the extra bulkiness. It has saved my phone multiple times when dropped. I love it and plan to order another as a backup case.

The volume and power button are covered by very smooth and responsive buttons. The buttons push as if they are a part of the device with, completely natural. The slim armor is a thin rigid skin type case. It is open on the top and bottom but still provides a lot of protection. This case was dropped and provided better protection then I ever imagined. The back plate is made from a very beautiful brushed aluminum piece. The slim armor is the closest thing to a raw no case feel you can get with a lot of protection. You would be happy with either case. I use the neo hybrid for work and out about trips and the slim armor at home and running errands.

The power button is exposed. But the volume buttons are covered. I myself took a razor and cut out the area over the volume buttons. It just seemed more matching to me. Even open, the case provided enough protection as to not let the buttons be pushed while in my pocket.

The back has a second cover (the colourful layer), which is made of strong plastic. It fits the case very well, and does not come off easily. One of the best features about this case is that it has covers for the buttons, which allow you to use the buttons, while protecting them.I hope that helps.

Length 14cms Width 7cms Depth 2cms. perhaps I should add that the belt clip is far superior to any of the ''highly protective'' cases. Aiden Kennedy

I carry it in my back jeans pocket all the time. It may add 1/4" to the overall thickness. While that sounds like a lot it is very well contoured and comfortable to carry. I am very happy with it, more so than any other case I have had.

There's two pieces. One is a timber edge that goes all the way around the edge of the phone to absorb shock. Then the plastic clips on the back and is also liked with a layer of silicone. And it's not super bulky which I like. It's a really cute case also. I'd compare it to like the otterbox commuter case. It's nice! And the price is great!
