The buttons on the side (power and volume) are VERY hard to push. Is there an easy way to fix this?

The best way to fix that is to get the sand out of your vagina it works fine

None that I know of... I tried placing a folded strip of paper in there to try toggling quicker but it interfered caused it to randomly adjust the sound.... sorry idk

IDK, I guess you could get an exacto knife and cut out the button, other than that I don't know?

Sometimes the connector is not pushed in all the way...it actually has to be clicked in. Also, the button needs to be held down a bit

Honestly i never had a problem with the side buttons. If anything you could return it to get a new one if its damaged spigen is good with returns.

It's a tight squeeze but make sure that you don't have a 5c phone. Start off by putting the phone in at an angle, the volume button side first then push the non buttons side in after.

Yes. The power and volume buttons are covered by the case, however, I have had no problem pushing the buttons through the case. The areas over those buttons are formed and raised so they look like buttons, but are actually part of the case. You can easily tell where the buttons are by touch.

Have you tried turning it up? Press and hold either the forward or reverse buttons for volume.

Down the side with the volume buttons you can sort of get it loosened with your fingernails and slide it up a little then do the same on the other side and it will pop out. The first time i thought i was going to break it too, but after that its easier. Good luck! Hope this helps!

That was my same issue. I was unable to get the phone into place and when it was in place that that brief second the power/lock button was not function-able.

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.

No, I haven't had any issues with the power button. I'd suggest taking the soft case off and try putting it back on to make sure the fit is secure.

Yes, check the buttons before you install. I have had two that the volume buttons did not operate.

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

Yes, Initially found it difficult. Now we got to know the trick :) Press the blue cover from top and bottom with one hand and use the other hand to push it outwards.

Mine was difficult also, but I got it to work. The release button is difficult, but don't give up.

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 use a corner of a credit card /guitar pick and slide it in between the hard case halves. Start at the volume or power button hole and work it towards the bottom of the phone. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas

Remove the bottom cover. There is a little slot on the top of the cover closest to the red power button.
