Are the buttons (specifically the power/volume) hard to press while in the case? What is the difference between the blaze pink and the wild orchid?

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.

I am returning the case. I could not put my s4 in case. Only instructions were 3 small pictures. After 3 hrs I gave up

The buttons on mine , the white case are good but I know someone who has same case in purple and it is hard. So it may depend on the one you get.

A little more pressure is needed to push the buttons when in the case. I feel it is very minimal. The Wild Orchid is just a slightly brighter shade than the pink.

I find the buttons rather easy to push. The pink is a fairly bright neon pink.

No, the buttons work great. Everything is great, but the price. I'm not sure about the colors.. I have a purple one. .

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, it's a not a good case at all. Spend elsewhere. And yes very snug. So snug that you can't use the plume control and power button

It's mostly hard, but where your buttons are on the phone, the buttons are not exposed. The case has soft rubber areas where your phone buttons are. Nothing is exposed other than the front.

I bought two. One I used for six months and the only reason I switched to the other was because the first was dirty (pink). I still have it, it wasn't worn at all. It must be the way you are handling it; perhaps keeping it in a pocket? I like these little inexpensive cases, but they aren't leather. I hope this helped.

I just received mine today. Ordered on 11/3. I have the power button issue. Guess I'll contact the seller and see about getting a replacement or I'll get another brand. Too bad though because it's an awesome case other than this button problem.

It hasn't so far and I still love it. Also, I've had protective case in the past that make it difficult to press the powe and volume buttons, but not this one. A great buy.

I have the smokey grey case but it covers the volume db power buttons, and they are easy to push through the buttons on the case.

Technically yes, mine actually won't turn off if it's in the case even if I'm depressing the button (I don't know what the technical cause is behind this) - so I have to slide it out of the case to turn it off. Additionally, the material is not rigid, so it does cover the buttons sometime. I can access the volume button though.I actually recently ended up getting a new case. This one was really cool, but the inconvenience became a little too annoying for me.

The one I received was okay for the volume buttons but a little bit hard to push for the power button, though, it's not really affecting the functionality. But in case you are looking for the blue color shown on the image, what you'll get is a turquoise one instead. (like mine)

So far both blue and pink cases have withstood my monsters, kickstand is still totally intact. It works a lot better in landscape, it's a bit wobbly portrait but not sure if it's even designed to work portrait.

It doesn't cover the power button. While it does cover the volume buttons, there are little plastic nubs sticking out that allow you to access the volume keys by pressing the case (looks like a rubber version of the volume keys under the case). I've never had a problem accessing any keys with this case.

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.

That's what I have and it's perfect. I know someone who has a different manufacturer's case and there are problems with the button, but this is great. It feels very protected, even more so when you're traveling. I'd completely suggest it. Easily worth the cost for protecting your phone.

Don't have that problem with the case. Had read about that problem in reviews before I purchased it, but thankfully it is not an issue, otherwise I would have returned the case. Very happy with case, can you adjust volume settings?

All these cases are made with black volume buttons (even this case). They made it that way so the color of the rubber skin does not interfere with the pictures. For example, if you have a pink rubber skin and take a picture with flash, then your picture would be distorted with a pink hue. Trust me, you want black around the camera so your images are not distorted.

The button access on the phone is perfectly fine . No trouble what so ever when pressing the home button (yet the touch id doesnt work that great , i turned mines off . I use touch assist doe so i dont really use any of the buttons for longer lifetime of the buttons ) . Other than the touch id being a little laggy the buttons work fine . No problem . I recommend getting this case if you are one (like me) who is really worried when it comes to my phone being scratched or damaged , especially if i go out or to a party i dont worry as much when placing my phone on the table . Knowing it wont get spilt on or when it drops wont crack the screen because of the shock proof . I dont know what else to say . Its great , less to worry about , and it has a nice slick design and you can order skins for it as well ! Hope this help !
