Ordered a presidio one in red. Reviews seems bad, most of them complain about the button being hard.

So many bad reviews on a lot of these. The grip should still be a good one though. Always liked that case. Thanks OP.
I think most of the negative review mention the stiff power button. I’m going to try it out and if I don’t like it I’ll return. I might be able to live with it since I normally use the double tap to wake.
 
Just picked up the blue grip. Works perfectly with the Orzly screen protector, I was afraid it would lift it.

Buttons all seem fine to me... maybe its not as sensitive as those spigen one but it’s no where near hard.

So far I love it especially at $20! Good quality, slim, good protection and grip.
 
Avoid the Sport cases, all the buttons are pretty unresponsive for the 8/8 Plus/X. Wait until they revise the design.
 
The reviews are right about the button being very stiff, I would have kept it and hope the button would get soft over time. The case also lift my tempered glass, so it's back to Best Buy it goes. The color on it is really nice and I like really the feel of it.

I got this today and it's going right back to Best Buy. First of all, it's a complete bear to put on. I felt like I was going to break my phone. What's worse, it's even more of a bear to take off. I felt like I was going to break my phone again.

That’s what I got, I hope Bestbuy will take a return if it’s opened.

They should if it's within 14 days.
 
Maybe they are on sale because the boxes are labeled incorrectly. Mine said “iPhone 8” and then had another sticker that said compatible with iPhone X. It fits really well. I figure I’ll get an Otterbox Symmetry later, but this black presideo grip looks really nice for now. Thank you for the heads up!

Yes I have same sport case and buttons are useless. I emailed them. We will see how they handle it... if they do. I like everything else about case, it’s a shame buttons are not usable
 
Wonder why they would use different buttons for the grip vs. the sport. The grip buttons are perfectly fine. Weird.
