Impossible to find rear power button...FIXED

[linksmask1]

So I often found myself hitting the volume buttons instead of power (when not using tap on), so I got a TPU case and tapped a rubber band to the inside of it so the rubber band overlaps with the power button when the case is on. Works surprisingly well, my finger goes right to the power button. It does lift the case up a little bit in the back, but the case stays on fine.





Just figured I might share this with people who may be having similar power-button-seaking frustrations

thats a clever idea use a black band though

Yeah black would look a lot better but that's just what I had lying around.

Good idea, another is use a small piece of grip tape that are used for handgun grips, strong and will stay put. Oh and you might want to remove the blue decal around the camera bezel because it effects the pictures, I don't know how but it did...

I try to avoid the button aside from turning the phone off but I do end up turning on the stupid note pad or camera by accident more than I would like.

I feel like I'm the only person who absolutely adores the rear mounted buttons.

I absolutely hate my wife's GS3 because I can't hold the phone without hitting the power or volume keys since I hold the edges of the phone. I rarely have a problem feeling for the little ridges that are on my G2's power button, because the volume keys are totally smooth in contrast.

Love the idea though.

I have no problem finding the rear power button. I just locate the bottom volume button with my finger and slide my finger up until I feel the bump of the power button. The power button is raised to differentiate it from the flat volume buttons. That rubber band just looks tacky and unsightly.

Do you shape your fingers like a paper football goal or like your holding a gameboy? Not trying to be an @$$ but I'm seriously confused how you hold a phone so are constantly hitting the volume rocker and power button. Are you holding her phone in landscape mode? Mindblow.
