Volume button difficulties when using a case?

[hal1]

How is the volume button working out with your case?

I'm using the Verizon silicon case until my Seidio gets here. The silicon cases seem to be made so that there's extra material that pushes against the volume button, since the volume buttons seem to be flush with the phone. - not working out too well.

But what about cases where they have a cut out for the volume? Are you able still depress the button?

Weird, the volume rocker actually works BETTER with the silicone case. But I have the extended battery version.

I assume since you mentioned the Seidio that you have the standard battery/battery cover?

I have the extended battery shell and holster combo from Verizon Wireless and have no problems with the volume buttons. I actually like it better than my thunderbolt which was way too easy to press causing accidental presses. But I can see how some might like something easier to press.

i find certain cases to make it much easier.

the otterbox commuter makes the volume control easier HOWEVER it misses on the power button enough to be annoying.

the incipio sylacrilic makes the volume control much easier and the power button pretty much works every press.

the otterbox commuter definitely feels sturdier. however those s forgot the two rear stereo microphone cut-outs. i gotta email them as they should fix that.

I have the Otterbox defender series and the design for the buttons are great. I couldn't ask for a more well laid out and built case. I would love for them to build a case that will work with an extended battery though.

I have the same case too and I really like it. I have no problems w/ the buttons. I didn't care much for that attached screen protector so I took it off and put on the Zagg invisible shield. The screen looks so much more prettier now. The only thing I hate is the outside silicone is a damn dust collector!

@ James-I heard other people talking about the extended battery and what they did was remove the hard shell backing from the Otterbox and use it by slipping on the silicone over that. I'm assuming it works since I haven't heard any complaints yet. I might try that myself.

That is what I have done thus far, kinda defeats purpose though in some sense only using half the protective case.
My next solution is just purchase an Anker external pack.

Uh oh, someone in quality control got some explainin' to do. So much for being a candidate for employee of the month.
