Is there any difficulty pressing the home button or sliding the control settings up from the bottom with this case, as there is with the Nuud case?

no, the case works GREAT with the phone, no trouble, like this case was made for the phone....

I don't have any problem with either of those. I haven't used the Nuud case.

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.

No, not difficult but I usually have to feel around for top, middle, bottom first. I started using the case shortly after getting the phone, so I essentially have used only the case for the buttons, never just the phone. You can feel the clicking of the buttons through the cover. It has been a great case for several months.

Hello Brad and thank you for your interest in this product. The home button is covered and not accessible while in the case. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions. Thanks Again!!

I just pressed it off and when I tried to turn it on it took two tries. It usually works though. I like it. I have like 6 cases and I happen to have this one on right now. Its a good case.

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though. I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

The button access on the phone is perfectly fine . No trouble what so ever when pressing the home button (yet the touch id doesnt work that great , i turned mines off . I use touch assist doe so i dont really use any of the buttons for longer lifetime of the buttons ) . Other than the touch id being a little laggy the buttons work fine . No problem . I recommend getting this case if you are one (like me) who is really worried when it comes to my phone being scratched or damaged , especially if i go out or to a party i dont worry as much when placing my phone on the table . Knowing it wont get spilt on or when it drops wont crack the screen because of the shock proof . I dont know what else to say . Its great , less to worry about , and it has a nice slick design and you can order skins for it as well ! Hope this help !

To be honest its a little tricky to get off at first. But once you figure out how to do it I start at the top left where the power button is and pull it off clockwise. Then for the Inner case pull from the bottom and push forward. After you do it a couple times its pretty easy.

Yes, the little round piece sticking out of the frame covers the home button. It isn't a hindrance at all.

Do you mean the home button and on/off? Maybe just a smidge. But the on-screen buttons work like a charm! :) The level of protection this Otter Box gives far outweighs any button issues, I think :)

The buttons on mine , the white case are good but I know someone who has same case in purple and it is hard. So it may depend on the one you get.

Make sure the onscreen keyboard isn't popping up. That happens at times and then I hit the home button before returning to my app. Other than that I have had no problems with this case/keyboard combo.

Yes, the volume buttons on the case are a bit stiff but not difficult to use. Accessing the ports (headset jack, charge/connection port, sound on/off switch) is cumbersome but gets easier with practice. By necessity, the port connections are the most critical areas for the case to protect since they are where water and dirt can get into the iPhone. Consequently the covers for these areas are quite snug, which makes them challenging to open.

home button is not blocked by the case. the case does cover the volume and power buttons with soft rubber nubs. I actually found that those buttons work better with the case nubs because the additional height of the nubs made those buttons more obvious for "touch" use.

Hi Vanessa! The power button at the top has to be pushed a little harder but not really a big deal in my opinion. The volume buttons work fine. Hope this helps!

No trouble pressing the buttons. It has a snug fit. Be careful it doesn't trip the switch to silence your ringer when you put it together.

I haven't had any problems with it myself. The buttons are still very responsive despite the rubber casing over them.
