Does this case allow for better actuation of the power button and volume controls?

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.

Hi John, Yes it does. The case fits great, snug around the buttons so there is no play. It also protects the phone really well. I love mine and have no issues with it.

There's hard overlay buttons for the power switch and the volume, but the vibrate switch is exposed as is the home button

There are holes made for the power button and for the volume buttons. Keep in mind this case is for the Kindle Fire HD not the regular fire. Hope this helps!

I flipped mine around to test, and that section of the flap is soft enough where the buttons still work. If you still find that difficult, a sharp utility or exacto knife would cut a clean, small window for the volume buttons.

It does fit and does its protective job, but there is no access to the volume buttons. There is access to the power button, however. I am quite pleased with the quality and functionality and consider it a good value for the money.

Yes, it does. The volume control is a built in scroll wheel, not buttons that pass to the phone.

Yes! I've had no problem accessing the buttons. The case is a pretty slim profile and it dips on the backside to give you more space to access those buttons.

Nope. It doesn't line up with the volume down button either. You might want to pick another case.

Yes, it does. However, the volume up/down buttons are still accessible through buttons on the body of the case.

No, I haven't resorted to cutting out the cut-outs to get the power and volume buttons to work. But I can see how that could be the problem if the manufacturers were sloppy in making the case.

it does cover the volume/power buttons, but it has its own raised buttons that you can press and they work just fine.

The volume buttons fit fine. YouSometimes have to play with the silence switch every now and then.

It does take a little more pressure but you adjust to the touch quickly. I will have to double check the accessibility of the side buttons. The case is easy to open and close if the volume needs to be adjusted from the device.

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.

I've never messed with any of the buttons on purpose except the power button and maybe the volume buttons. There is a "multi function" button for that sort of thing. I think it responds to things like: press, long press, double press...

The power button on the right and the volume button on the left have button overlays. They work pretty well - not entirely snug, but they work 100% of the time and they look good. The cut outs are for the IR lens, headphone jack and something else on the top, the camera, fingerprint reader and speaker on the back, and the power jack on the bottom.
