Is it a good idea to modify this case? I love this case but my 6 year old has a hard time pushing the on/off and volume buttons. I'm thinking about taking an exacto knife and cutting out the small pieces that cover those buttons to make it easier to...

I was having the having the same problem when I first got my case. What I did was cut slits in the rubber on the two long sides of the button , so that rubber button has more room and freedom to move. Worked for me

there is like a space on the side where the volume buttons are just put your nail in that space and snap the case, it might seem hard to get the case out but trust me it won't break P.S. make sure you clean your phone before putting the case back on!

Hello,There are 3 parts to this case. The original phone back back remains in place. part one is a rubbery piece that fits the back and the sides. Art two is a hard plastic part that fits over the rubbery piece on the back and sides. Part 3 is a frame around the front that slides over the sides and locks in place. Once all is locked in place, I can access the on/off button on the right side because the case leaves this button exposed. But the case covers the volume control on the left side and I cannot adjust the volume without taking the case apart. I could be wrong though, so I want to make sure that I may be totally missing something. Hope this is helpful. Hello,There are 3 parts to this case.

I don't know that I would get this one since the speaker will be muffled. Also there is a 3 millimeter difference. So there is always the chance for dust to get in there. Check with the seller and see if they have a new one yet for the new version. My kid loves the case and kickstand as he draws so it's very handy.http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/LG-Optimus-F6,LG-Optimus-L9/phones/8049,7459

Craig-did they solve your issue? My case arrived yesterday and the function key isn't working, wondering if I should scrap it and find a different brand/manufacturer.

Prior to this case, I had the case made for the phone. It was very hard to put on. This case was much the same. I had to work one corner to the other then practically squeeze out all the air. Now the case has been on for some time and actually moves a little bit. Don't really have any other suggestions other than strong arming it.

Hello Brad and thank you for your interest in this product. The home button is covered and not accessible while in the case. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions. Thanks Again!!

Yes, I think it's perfect. You can set the volume to where you want it and it isn't very loud. Also, at the push of a button, it comes right back on. My son loves his.

I think the new face is the problem. Because is thicker. I bought this product because the volume button broke. Is original and fits perfect.

For me I feel that the case actually helped to better define the back of the device. Esp when I had it up to my ear or in my pocket. Since the case further recesses the button zone. Before the case I would fumble more for the volume rocker. Even occasionally making it louder when I was meaning to quiet it.

Annelise, Congratulations on your new phone. I love it! The HTC One is the M7 model and the case that I ordered for it fits perfectly. The volume buttons can be a little sticky at first. I think this is understandable any time you have buttons covering buttons. The first few times I used the volume buttons they were sticky; I would push down and the volume would go up and vice versa. I took the case back off the phone and pushed the buttons in a few times and did the same thing with the case on the phone. After a few times of doing this I have not experienced any problems from the volume rockers. I have had my case for a while now and have had no issues after the initial kinks. The phone should be pushed all the way into the case to allow the buttons to connect properly. On a side note I have had friends that got Mophie cases that experienced the same problems. One of the main reasons I got this case was the prolonged battery life but also to help reduce/eliminate the dust and debris from getting into the mic port. I REALLY enjoy this case and hope that you do as well.

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.

Yes I really like the case. But the rubber is slightly loose on one corner now. I believe that is because I let my grandson play games on my phone and something happen to cause phone to go to safe mode and I had to take battery out to reset phone. So if you are going to be taking the case off I think it will stretch out the rubber. Other than that it is a great case.

I personally do not like it, it makes the screen harder to push... BUUTT you can take it off with out damaging the case at all. its just sorta stuck on, and pulls off very easily.

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!
