I wear nitrile gloves and cannot feel the very minor dish of the button and end up just jamming the side with my finger trying to hit it. Hopefully this was the odd exception. Very durable material! One thing to note! This is the same thing and half the price plus you get more attachments and tools. If you are planning on buying this product be warned, mine came out of the box in a manner that renders the product unusable. I am actually 31. The overall quality is better and the sound is much, much more fuller. If only they matched the picture. Easy to operate and very user friendly.
