Hi !

I tried to get a S5 case that I like but every time the buttons feels stiff
and unresponsive. For you with the Spigen Slim Armour, what's the veridic
on the power/lock button feel ?

My preferred case was the Belkin Grip Candy but the pwr button was so stiff
that I had to return it. I also tried the Caseology, buttons were good but the
case was already stretched out of the box, poor quality...

Thanks, and any input is welcome !!

I have the Slim Armor in blue, it doesn't have face protection, so the home button should feel normal. I have a screen protector though to protect my screen, my button feels just like it did when I had it naked.

I was referring to the power/lock button (language barriers :-[)...
...did the corrections.

Thanks !

Ah, that makes sense. Mine seem to work well, but not too well. I've noticed with other cases I would bump the button and it was very touchy. The slim armor volume and power buttons work well but only when you want to press them from my experience.
 
The Slim Armor cases look nice, but I need something with a belt clip.

Give this one a look see, I can vouch that it meets their claims.

The feel is SOLID.

The rubber is thick but it doesn't hender your ability to simply press without to much effort.

I recommend the slim armour 100%
You don't have to worry about stretching

I have the slim armor. It's great. The volume and power button are very responsive. They might feel a little stiff due to the sturdy rubber enclosing them, but I don't notice it at all, the buttons function normally when you press them.

Huh. Looks interesting. Thanks.
 
I ordered the Slim Armor from Spigen in electric blue. I loved the color, but it was a little too slippery for me. I was always afraid the phone was going to slip out of my hand. I ordered UAG Aero Case and love it. It is extremely light and has very good protection but doesn't slip out of my hand like the Spigen did. The buttons are very easy to use, I think easier than in the Spigen case. I really wanted to use the Spigen case, because I love the color and tried it again the other day, but went right back to the UAG.

Update :

Got my case today, buttons feels firm but not stiff, I'm happy with that, plus, the fit and finish is A 1, probably one of the best fit I've yet to see.

Only drawback, and only because I'm super picky: it's a bit heavy, but the protection is pretty good so...
