Can you easily access the volume button on the side of the phone and is it hard to use the tough screen?

One of my favorite features is how easy it is to use the touchscreen. There is no cover protecting the face of the phone so works as normal. That can also be a downside as the face of the phone could get scratched but this case comes with a scratch cover which helps with that issue. The volume and power buttons work great and function as normal.

Technically it's easy. Contorting yourself to reach them or see the screen on your arm is the challenge. You have full access to the screen as there is no cover. It all depends on how you position it to begin with. If the screen is facing away from you, it's simply harder to see. But all the control work fine. I hope that makes sense!

It's easy to do both, even with the phone doubly wrapped in its usual (Speck for me) protective case as well as the armband. What's not as easy is seeing what you're doing with the phone on your arm; and I've found that when I want to actively use the device it's easier to slip the band off my arm and put it around my hand instead. That, or something like it, is what you have to do if you want to use an app, such as the very helpful iHandy flashlight, that employs the lamp feature of the phone. When you've finished, it's easy enough to slip the band back onto your arm without breaking stride.

Hello Joy,We developed the silicone case to make it easy for you to access the volume button. It also is easy to access the screen since it is open.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222support@mediabridgeproducts.com

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.)

My son doesn't have a problem with the buttons. You do have to press the on/off button a little harder. My other child has a different case and his is much harder to use buttons. As far as touch screen, no issues at all.

Very easy, even with light work gloves I can answer the phone. I keep my phone in my shirt pocket and I adjust the volume on my phone with gloves on. I 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.

Yes! The side buttons are extremely easy just like not having a case at all.

Not Difficult at all. This case simply snaps onto the phone. To remove you just grab a corner and push from the center on the back of the phone, then the phone pops out! Awesome Case!

yes and no. when it comes to just clicking the button to activate or deactivate the screen it's not bady only complaint is how hard you have to press and hold for power options.

I haven't had any problems with any of the buttons. I had a coworker mention that she had problems on her 4 with the screen protector, saying she had to push extra hard to get it to work. I had cut a stick on screen protector and stuck it on while I was waiting for the case to arrive, and ended up leaving it on even with the case, which also has it's own screen protector. I don't know if that adds enough extra thickness that allows the screen to be responsive, but anyways, I've had no issues whatsoever.

The only time I've done was on speakerphone or using bluetooth, I'm sure though that it wouldn't much effect the volume of your call either way.however the cover may accidentally touch a button on your screen if you move and turn the screen on. When I'm using my phone to take calls I fold the cover the other way around and hold it as you would any other phone / case.

How difficult is it to get to the menu and turn the mute on and off while on the call?

It does fit and does its protective job, but there is no access to the volume buttons. There is access to the power button, however. I am quite pleased with the quality and functionality and consider it a good value for the money.

Yes, the volume buttons are hardest to push, but the screen and other buttons are fine.

I don't think the on\off button are hard to press and I think the volume is easy to punch. The buttons are firm enough that you pocket/phone wont be able to push it but not too hard to pushing it yourself. As far as color goes, that's entirely up to you.

It's actually pretty accessible. Same goes for the headphone jack. I've had no problems with it.

yes. the bottom/- volume button is a teeny bit covered, but it is manageable.
