I had to maneuver the case a bit and then I was able to use the buttons. It took some getting used to as I needed to apply a more direct contact than prior case. I had the same concern initially and almost returned it

yes it does

The power button is a little stiff. However, it still works. The volume control buttons are far more responsive.

I have an 8 plus as well. You just have to press down extra hard where the buttons are located until you wear the case in. I am assuming you've likely returned the case by now though.

the side buttons work fine on mine.
The volume you need nails but it does work.
The side buttons seem hard at first but I don't think we have to push as hard as we think

My case was a little “stiff” at first but it worked fine after a couple of days of use.

The buttons are a little hard to push but I have adjusted to them. I have an iPhone 7+.

Stef is right this case blows. Can’t use any of your side buttons. Avoid.

April · Answer

I have no problems pushing any of the buttons

Leslie · Answer

Yes, when I first started using this case I thought the same thing. But soon after using, it did seem to improve quite a bit and now I’m not noticing it at all. So I would just recommend giving it a little more time in daily use

Andrew · Answer

I have this case on an iPhone 8 Plus. The buttons all work fine with the case on. I would suggest to maybe get it replaced. It might be a manufacturer defect.

stef · Answer

i had the case on correctly but when i tried again after several attempts it worked, i an thinking there is a certain way it has to be on maybe starting at the bottom and then putting rest of the phone on the top in case? it is weird. but at least i know it works, so happy cause i really love the case the color is beautiful

GadgetNut · Answer

Are you sure that you have the case on the phone correctly? There are only three buttons. Two of which control the volume. The other button is the power button. All of the buttons are a bit stiff. Just apply some pressure. If that doesn’t work, I would return the case for another one.
