Default volume rocker very sensitive

have any of you experienced this. the phone has a silicone cover from vzw, and it barely needs to be touched (and I mean barely) and the volume is changed. If i am in an app doing something I get kicked out.

Just wondering, thanx...

I have this problem a lot of times too, and I don't even have a silicone cover on it. I always find my phone switching from vibrate to silent which gets really annoying.

Ya, it's pretty annoying. I wonder if all the phones do it... Otherwise it's a pretty cool phone.

I think it has to do with the size of the rocker and the placement. It's very easy to hit the buttons where they are placed and even without a cover I have accidentally hit it.

DONATE TO ME
Mine is actually too hard to press. I usually have to double-press, confirming that I'm over the particular area of the volume rocker for it to accept the input, and then press rather forcefully. I'm not using any sort of case, either.

It's a simple fix all you do is take a razor and cut out the thin strip where the volume is its already outlined where the case fits up against the volume keys so its easy to cut out the thin strip but the key is to not cut yourself lol.
