It looks like the buttons stick out. Are they hard to keep clean?

The knob design is unusual; it can be left sticking out, which is where it needs to be in order to operate it, or you can push it in so it stays, giving the panel a "neat" appearance. In general I do not find the buttons hard to clean, but they are buttons rather than a smooth surface. I've owned the microwave for about three months and have been quite satisfied. The fact that the internal light only goes on when it's cooking has not been an issue for me.

the button depths are ok and easy to clean. Also the rotary button for timer is pulling in and out. So far the surface are kept clean without any cleaning effort.

Yes they stick out but are very smooth and cleaned easily. The best feature of the buttons is you can dial in the time and push these buttons in spaces that are not well lit....or in my case, pitch dark. I've owned many microwaves over the years and this is my absolute favorite! Almost tempted to buy another for a back up 5-10 years from now. Real buttons are becoming almost impossible to find anymore...this is a treasure.

most of the buttons stick out about 1/4 cm. The large round button sticks out about 1 inch, however it can be pushed back in when not in use. Our whole family loves this microwave and being able to dial in exactly how much time you want is much easier than the press pads. To me all stainless steel is a little hard to keep clean--all the fingerprints show easily. The buttons themselves are not hard to keep clean. I just wipe them as I wipe the door.

For some reason the surface is very easy to clean (quite smooth). Got a drop of cake dough on a button, and it came off with a flick of a finger. The button surface isn't the sticky plastic type, it's almost like Teflon, making it a breeze to keep clean (something nice with microwaves).

Not particularly hard to clean! I use a fibercloth with some stainless steel liquid cleaner. I really like the sensor reheat function which automatically reheats without additional input.

They are out but they are very easy to clean.. I was just commenting to my I know you do and how much you guys support me. I'm sorry for letting myself get out of control at times. Not fair for you or for myself. I was just commenting to my husband this morning how much I love this microwave. Good investment

I've never gotten anything on the buttons so far. But since you mention it, if you got sauce or other substance on the buttons, I think they could definitely get in the cracks and underneath the buttons.

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.

Not if you are careful. I keep paper towel nearby and constantly dry the home button and camera area and I also wipe down the sides often.

You have to push a button. But it reminds you to. But you should still clean it periodically.

I did not have a problem with the buttons but the inside is completely rusted out. It happened after about a year.

My buttons are placed fine but I did find them a little difficult to press at first but seem to have improved over the last couple months of owning the case.

Mine does the same thing. I found that it is easiest to insert the buttons first (so the top with the power button, and then the side with the volume buttons). I don't think it I supposed to come off on a regular basis, but I take mine off every couple of weeks in order to clean out the dust that works its way in.

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.

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.

Not at all...I Have used it four days a week for several months now and works perfect. The buttons are on the side and are very easy to handle.

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.

I honestly didn't have any issue with the buttons. The case fit perfectly on my S4 mini, and was actually pretty tough to get off once it's on the phone. I use the case with the belt clip when I'm at work and it stays in place just fine. :)

No. There is a cut out for the button. I love this cover. My phone is protected. And Hello Kitty is never dirty.

Not too bad. The buttons keep falling off, but they snap right back on. Other than that they still look great.

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.

I just wipe it down with a damp cloth Carefully. Make sure you are not holding the button on.

I have the exact same problem and I am extremely frustrated with this problem. From what I've read, it is most likely a problem with the buttons getting stuck; absolutely unacceptable on a brand new product. Many other people seem to have this problem and it does not seem too uncommon. I'm just going to return it and choose a different brand.
