Some say the buttons are hard to press but

The buttons are a little more difficult to press with this

As others have said, the buttons are a little harder to press, but that's because it's more of a hard rubber.

The button are also stiff and require more pressure pressure than I like

Although the buttons do take a few months to break-in they will get easier to press.

Only downside is the power and volume buttons are harder to activate but not enough to make me not love this case.

Light weight, great protection, the buttons are a little harder to operate but that's a small price to pay

Don't worry about how hard the buttons are

All buttons and charging port are easy to control
