Is it true that you can't use the volume or power buttons while a phone is in the case?

I do not have a problem with my power button or using my volume button itsa great phone case would definitely recommend it.

That is not true. There are cut outs in the plastic that allow easy access to the buttons.

Nope. You can access all buttons just fine. The only trick is learning to take pictures a little differently so wallet doesn't flip over and cover the camera. I found it easy to adjust and not worth removing the phone from the case to take pictures. I hope this helps answer your question.

there's a volume tab on the side of the case where the volume on your phone will be at... so the actual volume tab on your phone will be covered by the case's volume tab.. so it's not actually a cut-out

Yes. Though the volume buttons are encased by the silicone, they work as if there was no case to begin with. Same with the power button. There is also a part cut out of the silicone for your ring/vibrate slider. The touch screen does not have any excess plastic over it either so the actual screen is exposed.

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.

Yes, you have to open the case to turn on your speaker, but you can then close it and listen to music with no problem.

Yes you can. The case is larger than the device so there's room to reach the button on top without opening it :))

Yes, the phone can be operated through the case. You can talk to and hear through the case including music.

Others say so, but the "volume" buttons on mine don't work at all. I've tried pressing them quickly, holding them for a long time, nothing works. So I simply make sure my phone is as loud as it can go since I like everything else about this cute little thing.

There is a cut out for the power button. Volume buttons are covered but they are fully functionimg with the cover

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.

Yes with a caveat. I had to relieve the openings for the volume and power buttons with an exato knife. Simple, took no time at all and the case has performed well since.

Yes you can. But I find that its hard to text when the phone is in the case

No, but it does cause the screen to go black during calls sometime, thereby rendering it unresponsive. None if the buttons and keys work. You have to take the case off when this happens in order to get the phone working again.

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.

I don't have any issue with either the volume or power buttons. The only minor thing is that opening the cover to plug in the the charger is a little difficult to open on the phone. I have very short fingernails so trying to reach in past the depth of the case to open the cover is sometimes hard.
