The Cutouts are perfectly placed on the bumpers, however, we personally found it difficult to access the button, we had to actually dig inside the case to reach the button, people with longer nails will find it easier to do so.

The On/Off/Stand-by button was the toughest to use too and that is the biggest concern for us with this case. During the review period we had to press the home button to get the phone ON and getting it off to Stand-by also was a bit tedious, nevertheless, the protection and slimness are the great PLUS to cover a bit of a usage issue we faced and reported.

The Charging pin and the headphones can easily be accessed without any problem. You can keep your iPhone facing down without any problem, the bumper protects the screen too.
