Yeah that was one of the reason I switched to the platinum case they sell at best buy.

i was at first but now that iv had it awhile i havent had any issues with it.

Yes. The button must be pressed very hard to show the power options. The case protects the phone but is too tight. The phone actually performs more reliably with the case removed. The case does protect the phone.

yes and no. when it comes to just clicking the button to activate or deactivate the screen it's not bady only complaint is how hard you have to press and hold for power options.

yes the case is too stiff and you really have to press hard to use the power button

At first it was a little rough to push the power button but after using it for a while it "broke in" and was much easier to use.

I've never had problems with the power button. It is a simple push button and has always worked without any trouble. I bought this same device around 2008 and my newest one looks the same as my first one.

I've not issues that often. Maybe 1 out 10 doesn't work. Only idea would be to try adding a finger in settings with the case on to see if it works better. You do this under settings. And you could add it again without the case. My wife didn't do as good a job moving her finger around on her's and it didn't work as well until we added the same finger again, then deleted old one. Hope you find a solution.

I just received 2 today - one is great but the other has the power button issue. So I'd have to say it's hit or miss at this point.

I just received my case today and the auto wake/sleep function on the case is not working. Any help on this matter please?

Honestly I don't know, I removed the case when the power button kept sticking.

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.

That happened with mine also. For me, holding the power button down for a ridiculously long time worked and it powered on. 99% of the time, it turns on easily now. Only once since then has it failed to power up normally. Holding the power button for the prolonged time was successful again. Best of luck!

I got mine a couple months ago and the buttons are fine. While researching the case, I read that some of the older models were bad about that. So if you have an older one, I'd request to swap it with a newer one through them.

'course! I've not had that issue with this case buuuuuuuuuuuuut there's a few things we can do!Firstly, make sure all the power cables to the fans coming from the case are connected to MOLEX/4pin power connectors (or the relevant ones for the fan you are connecting) and if it's still not receiving power and spinning up either A) Send the case in for replacement or B) Try a replacement power cable to the fan.Not really much more help beyond that which can be offered I'm afraid!

Absolutely, some people will say that the elastic corner strap presses too hard against the power button and turns the Tablet off. Never has for me in the six months I've owned it. One person here talks about magnets causing some buttons not to work, but so far with mine every button works. fine. I use this combination Tablet and cover/keyboard to show clients our website and products. This makes for a very professional approach.

I have not had a single problem with mine. I would try a different outlet, you never know. The power button is the center button on the top row directly below the digital temp display

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.

Try powering down your I Pad. I have the same case and it's working fine. I hope this works

I had a problem with my case fitting! It squishes either my volume button, causing me not to be able to turn up or down the volume, or my power button, causing it to constantly cut on and off!

Because as great as the battery is, the case is flawed. It's literally too tight, especially around the buttons. Take the black part off and just have the blue piece on. I'll bet it does not do it then. What I did was on the other side, I clipped the black part of the case around the power button so that it is no longer surrounded by the black part on the volume button. Notice it will make the case much easier to go on, but still grips the phone very nicely. At the power button where you are having the problem, take a dremel or a small file and enlarge that hole a little bit. That should help also. I did both and now have no complaints whatsoever.
