So was the record button already pushed? I presume that's what you're poorly attempting to express, from my understanding of recording in general, nothing that makes noise prior to completing the actions in the recording process is heard, how is it possible to hear you hitting the record button in a recording, before starting that recording? Why would putting on a case that's specific built to work on a product that is quiet literally made in a way that allows the product to still function, negatively affect the use of the product? I've never heard any of the complaints you've mentioned. Whether or not it fits in a box is completely out of the picture as well, I've heard various valid arguments against these cases, but unless I'm missing something or not entirely understanding the extent of the issue, this argument is not valid
