HOw do you access the buttons through the case? Do you just press them? Or do you have to take the case off?

The case has an opening in the top to allow access to the power button and another opening on the left to allow access to the volume controls.

I pull the bottom half of the case off first, then pinch the home button at the bottom with my thumb and forefinger on the back middle to pull the rest of the case off with my other hand. It is hard the first few times, but starts to slide off smoother and easier after that. Mine slips right on and off easy now.

Really, there is no easy way to do it. When you first get the case, you pretty much have to break it in. If you have like a small flat head screwdriver, you can kinda use that to "pop" it out. I used my fingernails, and let me tell you, I thought I would bust one, but I didn't. Hope this helps.

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.

When you close the case it turns off. When you open it automatically turns on. It is great because you never have to find the button just open the case and it's on

I have no trouble at all using the buttons on my phone when it's in the case. I will say I'm a woman so my fingers are reasonably small I suppose but our son has one and he has large hands. He also likes his very much. FYI you're actually pressing the buttons on the phone as the "stick out" through the corresponding holes in the case.

No you can't.......there are holes for the power slide switch, headphone connector and lightning jack (as well as holes for the two mini speakers at the bottom). The case is so easy to get off though....hope I helped.

You don't have to take it out, just fold the cover and magnet flap around back and the magnet will hold the case open! The phone fits pretty snugly inside the case though and its not that easy to take it out... Bit you don't have to to talk on the phone!

I've used a butter knife and pushed it through the opening for the volume button and just twist...It pops out and you just have to move the butter knife around it to open it completely.

the on/off and volume buttons are not cut outs - so there aren't holes to touch the actual buttons, but the case has indentation for these buttons so even though they are covered, they work well. i didn't have any problems with this at all. hope that helps!

The power button is slightly off. So you need to enlarge/remove a little bit of the plastic around that button. If you are handy, it is feasible. I just use executor knife cut the entire button out so I can turn on/off by press the button on the tablet instead of press the rubber power button on this case which indirectly press the button on the tablet. Hope this help. There are other answers if going back to around Oct 2013's question and answer section.

No. The whole box sits inside the case. No access to the ports/buttons unless you open the box.

You cant remove it with your fingernail. I've tried. I actually haven't been able to remove the case since putting it on.

You should be able to toggle the little lever back and forth above the volume buttons. If you can't, there may be a problem with the case

Ya gotta get your fingernail in there and pry it open... can be difficult if you keep your fingernails short... Bigger concern: how do you get the entire case off of the phone once you put it on?!?!?! This thing is so secure I don't think it's ever going to come off again... better hope I don't need to replace a battery any time soon.
