does this case make it harder to press the buttons?

That was my initial worry before I purchased it. Rest assured it does NOT make it harder to push the buttons. Not even a tiny insignificant amount. I was very happy with my case.

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

My buttons are placed fine but I did find them a little difficult to press at first but seem to have improved over the last couple months of owning the case.

It actually makes the buttons on the back way easier to press. I kept touching the camera thinking that was the button. With the case it makes it super easy to distinguish between the buttons.

No. But the buttons line up perfectly. It truly is the best case I've bought and I've bought a lot for many different phones.

The case is made of pretty soft material; you should be able to press the buttons if you can gauge the right position to press.

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.

Well, you can't feel the buttons click through the case so there's no real feedback, and they're somewhat harder to press then other cases, but I wouldn't call them impossible. After about a week I got used to it. I also find the power button a bit harder to press then the volume buttons, maybe it's just me.

This case has great grip on the sides. It is also very sturdy. Because it is sturdy, however, the buttons take a little more pressure than without the case. I hope this answer helps.

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!

I've had no problems with the buttons. The volume and active keys on the side only get pressed when I press them, and the buttons on the front are cut out so they are in no danger of being pressed. They case really works well for me.

They are stiff because the case is a harder plastic rather than rubber. Took some time getting used to. Sometimes I wonder if i actually pressed the button. Now that I'm used to it its fine.

No they are easy to press. But the first time I dropped it it shatterd my screen. Go with the defender case much better case and the buttons are easy to press

The buttons have a good sensitivity to them. Not as sensitive as without a case, but you definitely do not have to put much force into pressing the buttons.

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.

Yes. The power and volume buttons are covered by the case, however, I have had no problem pushing the buttons through the case. The areas over those buttons are formed and raised so they look like buttons, but are actually part of the case. You can easily tell where the buttons are by touch.

I believe it is because the newer version eliminates the button cover that is on the bottom over the home button. I would absolutely go with the newer version. The little cover was not my favorite thing. It made it a bit hard to push that button and as you know your push it a lot. The problem is completely fixed with the new one. The case is really great, enjoy.
