Is it hard to push the buttons on the back since they are covered up?

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.

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.

No, the cover does not hinder movement. I actually prefer the rear buttons now that I'm used to them. The reason is I find the rear buttons to be a more natural feel.

No, i have had the case for several months and the case makes it easier to press the buttons because they are more defined and theres sone grip to it.

I have found the case actually makes it much easier to identify and press the buttons!

The buttons are almost flush with the bumper. They are sensitive but they do work. They just don't move much. What I LOVE is the clear back. It comes with 2 templates that look cool by themselves but you can print out whatever you want and us it as a back. It's like having a hard screen protector on the back. You can't beat this case for the price.

the buttons are pretty "firm" so I haven't really had any issues with this being a problem. I have accidentally turned it off maybe once.

Don't know about the colors but the buttons are only slightly harder to push while in the case. By their nature they will always be harder in a case, here is difference is pretty small.

not as I have noticed. any of the side buttons covered have extender buttons built in. nothing covered on the front.

No, the buttons are not difficult to operate with the case on. Very good case sturdy but not bulky.

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.

There is no back cover so the keyboard is exposed. But I haven't had an issue with pressing the wrong keys when using the remote.

Yes hard buttons. But be careful, as my phone never worked and I had to dump it and get a different type.

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

Hi there! No, all the buttons area easily accessible. The case covers around the buttons, but not over them.

no, the keys are exposed but it really is not an issue, as they are somewhat recessed and we don't find we are hitting the buttons when we don't want to. way better that the old slide-out keypad

No. The buttons are open so they can be accessed. Had this case for over a year and this has never been an issue.

They are covered but the buttons are nice and you don't even notice the are covered.

The buttons are pretty stiff and sometimes, after not using for a while, I have to almost break them in. It's like a got to break through the crude around it before it starts working. But it's never come to the point where I get tired or anything. I guess it's better too stiff than too sensitive.

The buttons are not covered, they are cutouts. This particular case will also snap fit on the tablet backwards to cover the screen when you're not using it.

The spaces for the buttons are open. I thought this would be a problem initially, but my S4 fits snug and I have dropped my phone and it is protected very well. Hope this helps.
