Does the case interfere with the speakers?

I have not done a thorough before and after on the sound, but I have no difficulty hearing sounds/ music with the case on. It is silicon right around the speakers, so there may be some dampening, but not significant.

Not at all since the speakers are on the hindge area of the screen where the vents are, the cover does not cover any part of that area. Also,the is a cut out where the microphones are so those too are not covered.

I haven't used that feature, but it shouldn't interfere as the case is cut out around the power button.

No it does not cover the speakers. It is well fitting around the speakers. Excellent case protector.

Yes. The case is designed so it does not interfere with the use of the power or volume buttons.

No, it just goes around the back of the phone. Speaker and microphone should not be obstructed by the case.

No. But the speaker in the front center can be covered/blocked easily to at least make the music more quiet (though the fan remains loud regardless).

No it does not avoid blocking the speakers but if it is to low you may not hear it as well.

Hi! I was wondering about that too, however, once I put the case on, there is not interruption of the sound quality once the case it on. I don't know how they do it, but it works!

There is a cutout in the back of the cover for the speaker, so the sound comes through fine. Also, the power switch, volume buttons and headphone jack are completely accessible when the Nook is in the case. I originally thought the power button was covered up, but it turned out I had the case rotated to an upside down position (you can rotate it a full 360 degrees) when I put my Nook in it.

There are no "flaps" covering the speakers like the ones that cover the plug in locations. The case itself does cover the speakers but have cut outs where the speakers are and have screens to help protect the speakers. It does not affect volume or quality in any way. You won't be sorry going with the case! Best one I've had!

My case that I ordered lines up perfectly with the headphone jack, power port, and the speakers are covered up by the case, but the case has tiny holes for the speakers and the sound quality is great

I found the sound definitely changes but i don't think it's that bad at all. I find that on some of these devices including my phone and iPad i will "cup" the speakers anyway to direct the sound back at me and that's basically what the case does too when flipped over.

Not really. Of course, I was using at the beach so the background noise was considerable. I bought a bluetooth headset to use the phone while in the case.

Yes. Most definitely. It only affects certain auxiliary cords that have larger casing around the wires. The charger port has no issues and neither does using headphones. Great case overall.

Yes, That's the same model I have. These are excellent cases and I highly recommend them. There is one downside however. The speakers are front mounted and the rim of the gumdrop case covers the speakers. Even with that said it does mute the sound some but not too badly. I never have an issue listening to music , movies, etc. I hope this helps.
