I think Scandalex posted a pic of the back.
The buttons work fine. I think you could cut them out.
After the first time, it comes out of the case easily. I pulled mine out of my jeans pocket by the tank, and it came out of the case.
I got my case and a bending adapter from Discount Vapers. Great price on both!
Just an fyi about Rakuten.com - I've been hearing of some issues with them on unrelated vaping products. I go to a deal forum for electronics and I've actually passed on a few deals from them lately because of bad buzz. Apparently some people never get the items shipped, and some others claim that their CC info was stolen.
This is through the grapevine, so don't take this as fact, but just had to say it out loud.

Yesterday, my istick lasted about 5 hours with my Orchid on it with a 1.1 coil, running about 9.5w. I got home around 6pm and plugged the almost dead istick (turned off) into a wall charger. It's the little white brick shaped adapter that charges my iphone, with the micro usb that came with the device. I left it charging for about two hours, then pulled it off and vaped till bedtime. That was about 4 hours, from coming off the charger to light's out, vaping fairly heavily, using an old T3S tank with a 2.1 coil because right now I'm so annoyed with every other tank I own that I could post a whole other thread about it. This morning, we left the house and did some errands and driving around, and I vaped fairly heavily because being in the car is a big "smoking trigger" for me. About 4pm, the istick died deader than dead. I did this on purpose I'd never run it all the way down before so I wanted to see how long it would take. By my math I got about 10 hours of vaping life off the thing. Using a 2.1 coil, about 5-7 second puffs, set at 3.9v, I felt like I could literally watch the battery icon move when I was vaping. Better than most of my old eGo batteries, nothing like my MVP or the two days worth of heavy vaping that some people seem to be getting.
BUT because I am a dummy, I did not realize that when the istick is fully charged, the battery icon goes away on the screen. So, it is pretty likely that mine has NEVER had a full charge.So I'm guessing that my lacking battery life might be due to user error. I've got it plugged in now and am not taking it off until the battery icon disappears. Then I'm going to see how long I get off of it. I also ordered two more from eciggity today. Because I want to see if it is possible that my first one is wonky and others might have higher battery life. And because overall I LOVE the istick. It is a great design, it feels good to hold, it doesn't feel like a brick in my purse like my MVP does, and if I have a few to swap out I feel like that is a pretty good way to meet my vaping needs. I don't want to blow clouds, I don't want or need 50+watts I just want something simple that works so I can vape and get on with my day. NOW if I could just find a tank to put on the darn thing that holds enough juice, doesn't spit, doesn't gurgle, doesn't taste burnt when chain-vaping, and doesn't have the BVC funk that puts me off my juice...
Maybe it's time to try a cartomiser and tank. Pretty cheap to try.
I FINALLY GOT MINE!!! About $40 at my B&M, and I was tired of waiting for it, so I made the plunge. Got my Nautilus mini on top of it with a 2 ohm rebuilt coil, and this thing just kicked my .... at 15W

No post yet about the mini istick? It's on the Eleaf site. 52 mm tall and 10 watts.
The first thing to do out of habit is check to see if the vendor has any in stock just in general let alone when you are trying to catch a deal on something that flies off of vendor shelves liked greased lightning. There one minute gone the next!
When checking at the other vendor to see if something else came in yet I saw they finally got those in and was passing it along since the price wasn't too bad there either compared to a few others wanting a bit more.That was formerly Buy.com there until they changed the name a few years ago. I've ordered a number of things mostly pc related however from them and never had any problem. That's been my experience with them so far after dealing with the site now for some 7-8yrs.

Rokuten is a newer, smaller Alibaba. They bought out the original Buy.com company a few years ago. From what I understand, most of the vape gear on there is from so called "marketplace sellers" a la Amazon, EBay, even Best Buy , Sears, and Walmart are doing that online these days. These are sellers they have absolutely no control over. A big hint for me was all of it is under the category of smoking cessation which while true in anecdotal terms is not valid In current US legal terms, so in short, I don't think they have any input at all over what's delivered or not unless someone complains.
That IS a bundle of cuteness!!!
then make your way over to the co-op section and show your interest
Oh lord why would you wanna do that?
Seriously though, you can chop it up if you so desire but f you must expose the fire button I'd suggest using a razor blade or exacto - something small cause the square is not big at all. A knife may destroy the case completely.

I remember back when they were buy[dot]com. I bought my Samsung netbook & some other stuff from them. Never had any issues. I guess things change over the years.
According to Sweet-Vapes they have them in stock now. Eleaf iStick Leather Case. Price is $9.95 though. I bought 2 for that price when Discount Vapers initially got them in stock. If you don't feel like waiting at least Sweet-Vapes has them.
EDIT~ Just saw the GS Air Atomizer is available for purchase. Just ordered mine from DV.
Sweet-Vapes also has them in stock.
The difference in prices between the 2 made DV cheaper factoring in shipping cost.
