Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same. After 6 months, my official Apple leather case has worn quite nicely - except the power button. The ridge around the button seems to have faded, and it's incredibly difficult to press.

Anyone else found this?
 
What color do you have? I had a blue one that broke in after a week and felt like there was no case on at all when pressing. You still felt that "click"

I exchanged for a red one, and the red one still has not broken in. I doubt it ever will. Still hard to press.
 
Had a similar prob on the iPad leather case.

All I did was remove the device and use the round handle end of a fork to gently poke it as I pushed back with a finger from the inside.

Loosened it up perfectly.

Thanks for the great tip. The buttons are more clicky and easier to press on both my iPad and iPhone leather cases.
