I, personally, don't have any issues with the case and like the rubber plugs that prevent junk from getting into sockets. Unlock switch is definitely harder to reach but I now use the power button/swipe screen slider more often as it is easier to do with one hand. My biggest complaint is that rubber makes it difficult to use the camera button as it is difficult to modulate the effort for 1/2 press sometimes. It can be a pita to remove true, but since one of the corner plastic latches broke off when my phone fell it became an easier task The most important thing is it is the best case for the N900, saved mine on multiple occasions.
