No not at all, the material that covers the buttons is soft so it's easy to use. The buttons fit perfectly with zero complications. Hope this helps!

I have it in different types of cases with no problem, the protection is around the buttons but not over them

Cheap plastic. I suggest also getting the protective case which is rubbery.

No, It is more like rubber. It protects the back and the sides, and has a small rise in the front, but it is very small. I like it because it makes it easy to operate the buttons easily on the sides. I had a hard case before but had to push very hard to operate the side buttons. I hope this helps you. Robert

The volume and power buttons are covered with a semi-hard matte plastic (unlike that gummy feeling soft material that alot of the cases have), so its sturdy and does not seem like it will eventually start to breakdown and fall apart. Its almost like a hard rubber bumper.

it's hard plastic just like the original NES controller. The buttons are rubbery silicone and have grip. It's a wonderful case.

Doesn't fit properly. The rubber layer fits fine but the hard plastic second layer won't align correctly over the buttons.

Combination of both the hard plastic is on both sides but the buttons are soft rubber. The top,bottom and corners are soft rubber which give a secure feel when holding the phone.

It is hard plastic that has a rubberized feel. It's not very thick and might not do much for protection.

If you mean the button on the top right hand side then yes it is covered with rubber.

No. It goes over the buttons so you have to press on the rubber, but they are really easy to press.

They aren't soft like jelly or soft silicone but they are thin enough that I've never had an issue using the buttons. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, it is a hard plastic and will cover the button so it won't accidentally be put on

Plastic I think? It is flexible enough to form around the phone, but not a rubber band or silicone type flexible.

Some replwcement covers have a thin platsic/rubber piece (the membrane) that covers the volume buttons or power button in order to keep dirt out. This replacement cover does not have a membrane that covers any buttons, which is the way the original phone back cover is. This is a replica of the original back cover and is well worth the money.

The buttns work perfectly and are soft rubber. The buttons are surrounded by the second hard plastic skin but are easy to get to.
