Side buttons are difficult to press

Overall I do like this case except for 2 very important things - the buttons on the side for both the power button and volume control are very difficult to engage. You have to press quite firmly to have the buttons on the actual phone pressed. Other than that - good case that isn't too bulky - especially for an otter box.

These cases are terrible because you cant click on the buttons on both sides. Its really hard when you're out and about and you're trying to do things and the simplest thing  is the worst pain

The buttons on the side are difficult to access and the only way I can get the stand open,  is to take the phone out of the case. I love the color and I have dropped the phone and the case did protect it.

Thank you.  Some of these are harder to use to push the side button, but I love the colors.

Slots on the side are so small that it is hard to engage the buttons.  My husband had to cut the plastic to make the holes larger.

The case itself does not look so bad and does provide a little bit of protection. However, the buttons on the side are completely flush with the case making it very hard to find. You cant feel a click when you push them and distinguishing the power button from the volume buttons is basically impossible.

It looks fine and is well made, however, I found it was too hard to press the side buttons for the various functions because I have arthritis in my hands. I gave it to a man who thinks it is just fine.

Good case, hugs nice, protective high bumpers, cute design. My only and biggest complaint is that the buttons on the side are extremely hard to push down like the lock button and volume.

The case is bright and sturdy,  but the buttons on the sides (for power and volume) are so stiff that I am unable to actually use the buttons through the case.  I've already ordered a different case and have thrown this one away.

Hard to hold and access to the on-and-off button and volume buttons are too deep

I really like the look and feel of this case but I had a bad experience with the side buttons, similar to some of the other reviews I read. I was hoping the issue would have been corrected since the title of this product said "updated buttons" on it. However, within the first hour of putting on the case I started having issues with the volume. I'd push it up and it would either go down or keep going until it was at full volume when I only pushed the button once. Basically, they didn't work right at all and it was very frustrating. I took the case off and investigated and realized the little plastic buttons had probably been pushed in too far and were stuck pressing on the volume keys. I popped the buttons out and back in again and so far they seem to be working fine (it's been about a week) as long as I am diligent in pressing gently and quickly so the buttons don't get stuck down again. Not the best experience but it works for now.
