Why the middle? Nexus 5 was perfect in this regard. Buttons at the top.
I'm also using Spigen case so maybe that's contributing some to the awkwardness but i always push the buttons by accident, even lowering the volume while on calls.

why in the middle? because the phone is large, and placement in the middle gives you quick access to the buttons, instead of constantly sliding to the top of the phone first. my advice, get used to the button placement, as it is much more convenient. about the case, that you have to deal with on your own. as the phone doesnt come with a case, you buy it yourself.
If you're talking about this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I2LY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 then it's the case. I was just talking to someone about this today. The buttons and button placement of the Nexus is actually perfect. The volume buttons are really just one long button, with a decent gap between the power button above it. Without a case on, it's impossible to confuse which button is which. That completely goes away when you use probably any case, but specifically the Spigen. The reason is the Spigen case is just flat with equal spacing between the buttons. So it's very difficult to know which button you're trying to push since there is no way to "feel" which one it is, as opposed to without having the case. So it's not the phone. The phone buttons are just about perfect in my opinion. Unfortunately, that Spigen case, or any case similar to that, completely ruins it. I still love the Spigen case though.

Yea I have that case and the button implementation stinks. Got a similar case by Ringke and it is far better in placement, actuation, and blind feel.

Do you have a link to that case? I love this Spigen case because of the clear back, good protection and it isnt bulky at all. But the button solution is awful.

Feels better in hand than that Speigen and looks a bit better as well. And covers ports. And is prime.
I have the neo hybrid. My complaint still isn't really with the case though. Just that i pick or hold the phone in the middle where the buttons are like 80% of the time. The other 20% is on the bottom.
If the buttons were up top i wouldn't accidentally bump into them all the time.
agreed

Same here plus the volume button sets very close to clamp on my dock in my car?. Also usually always lower volume when pulling out of pocket.
Ahhhhhh damn. I wish I would have seen that one before. Definitely gonna order this. Thanks for sharing!
My biggest problem with the button placement is when using the speaker phone while driving. I keep placing the phone upside down in my cup holder and about 10 second later the phone restarts. Turns out my cup holder is the perfect size to hold the power button down and hard restart the phone lol.

Ugh, my phone doesn't fit in my cupholder ?. #firstworldproblems
It was my gripe at first. Now my gripe is why don't they put the buttons on all phones like this :sly:
I hate thelack of seperation between the buttons. Nexus 6 does a good job at texturing power button so i guess i should be blaming this crappy spigen case.
I have the slimarmor case and the buttons are flush with the case so I never realize I'm pressing the buttons until its too late. I would like to go naked but I keep dropping this phone all the time. I usuallydont drop my phones but this this g is aweful.
Still like the phone tho, just might get a different a case or insurance and a backup phone.

The spigen case is definitely the issue, I think they make the worst clear case of any. I have a ringke fusion and a pure gear slim and both are MUCH better than the spigen. With both of those I have no issue accidentally hitting any of the buttons.
I have a gripe about button placement too. I have small hands, being a chick and all, but why so low? My car holder which I used for my N5 and SGS2 now presses the volume buttons if I fully lock it. And why put the volume and power button so close?! I know they made the buttons feel different, but still too close. And taking screen shows is a pain in the A!! im sure there's a work around for Home+volume down but still.
Either way, still love the phone.

I have to disagree. I think it's one of the best clear back cases, except for the buttons. I don't use the buttons much anyway, but the clear case has yet to scratch at all after a month's use. If Ringke's clear back case wouldn't scratch so easily I'd get that for the buttons.

Hey guys, it seems the volume buttons on mine are not as fit as the power button. The button is sorta loose in it's joints and I can shake the phone and hear it move around a little. Is this the case for you guys? The power button is firmly fixed in its socket.
Yes. My first one was like a maraca. If you shook the phone, it would make a sound, It was also lose when I moved it with my thumb.
I exchanged it and the new one is a bit better, but with use, I think is becoming lose again. Still better than the first one, but not as the nexus one.
So it seems is a quality or "design" problem. You are not alone.

okay, I really don't want to be an ass and change the phone simply because of this but I did pay for a phone built to specification. Can any more of you guys chime in on if it starts to get loose after use? Does it rattle like mine when you shake it? If all Vibrants do get loose after use, I'd rather not exchange it.
Thanks~

mine rattled pretty bad and for all the money i spent for the phone i would like it to not rattle if i was you id take it back anyway lol some are saying newer ones work better too
simple fix
cut a piece of thick paper, like a business card the width of the volume key, slide about a quarter inch inbetween the volume key and the device, bend it inward and close the back cover, if I had another phone/cam I'd show u, but its simple to figure out, it makes the key snug and it works just fine

Thanks for the input folks
Mine are loose but it really doesn't bother me anymore. Im curious to try the fix for this though lol
I do not take responsibility for what you do with your stuff, I just did this to fix mine.
This is not a sleep of death fix.
This is a fix for those of us who got to experience cheap product design and our power buttons become almost useless at turning our TF on.
What I did:
I took off the bezel carefully and slowly using a thin guitar pick (after removing the star screws)
I took a typical 3x5 index card and cut an approximate 1x1 millimeter square off the corner.
Carefully, using tweezers, I glued the piece of index card to the light blue button on the bezel, not the rest of the tablet.
I snapped everything back in place carefully and the power button is responsive again!
Again, I am not responsible for you and your tablet. I just did this at 7am since I couldn't sleep.
If there is enough interest I can post pics of the process.
Edit: It also seems to help to let the index card piece dry on and then pull it off to leave a papery residue, it works a little better by softening the button.
Edit 2: I'd like to point out post 5 for a good picture. It seems to just need to be played around with on the thickness level, mine needed very little, yours may need more.
You gotta love when they use cheap buttons on a $400 item... What good is it if you can't turn it on? My buttons still work, but I have read a lot of reports about button issues. Hopefully, they used better buttons on the prime!
Nice. I have the same problem as you did. Can you tell me if the small black plastic piece was attached to the switch on the board inside? I am not 100% sure there is one but the volume buttons have it and I know my power button doesn't. I am thinking it broke off and is missing somewhere inside my bezel as it won't fit properly anymore either. I'm going to rma my tf for other reasons but it would be nice to fix it myself in the mean time.
Thanks for this post. It gives me hope lol.

Yeah my button when new was very easy to operate, even my 3 year old could do it.
As time went by it got harder and harder to turn on. I took the button out and extended with a little piece of plastic. I used an old gift card.
Work great now.
No trouble with my button not working yet, and I've had mine since the spring. The big issue I have with the power button is how close it is to the volume-up button! If I had a nickel for every time I accidentally turned the device off when trying to turn it up, I'd be very rich by now. Very annoying.

Would you happen to have a pic of the device rather than the button? I'd like to see how your switch is constructed to see what mine is missing. Thanks.

Sorry I though I had a picture of the the button on the mother board but I guess it didn't save. The power button should look like the two volume button.
interesting...
I returned my Acer Iconia a500 because I realized how cheaply designed the power button was. The a500 tablet on display at Best Buy had a broken power button, and there was tons of others with the same exact problems/concerns. I don't understand why these manufacturers don't learn. I was under the impression that the Transformer was much better built- then I saw this thread. I have an Asus transformer prime on pre-order, but am afraid I will have to RMA the dam thing after a few months for the same problem. I hate apple, IOS, and Itunes, and just wish there was an equivalent 10 inch android tablet that is built just as solid, and wont break down after 3 months from normal use. Will I be ok with the Prime????
My iPod Touch 3G's home button barely works after a year of use... good my Sensation XE is gonna replace it XD. Had my Transformer for nearly 6 months now, no signs of the power button getting any worse... it's something I'm always worried about after my ipod. At least there si a temporary fix for it, I want to make sure my TF lasts at least 2 years, hopefully close to 3.
tno~~
they had to replace all the boards (motherboard, daughterboards) to fix my power button issue.
Have to wonder what you folks are doing with your tablets. We've got two Transformers, used every day since May and June respectively, and neither has the slightest issue with any of the physical buttons.
Thanks guys, I'm gonna try this. I was using piece of pencil eraser in it before I had to turn it in lol.

I just got a new TF at Best Buy yesterday, and the power button is loose and hard to press, and the volume button is so sunk in, it's almost impossible to press without trying really hard, and rattles when I type on left side of the screen in landscape. Before I try to exchange it to many times, what should they feel like on a perfect TF? Should they be soft and easy to press, with no looseness?

I dropped my ASUS Transformer on the floor and I had to take the back off (easily done with a thin screwdriver) to bend everything back in place. After putting it back together I had the problem with a loose power button that after while became a stuck button. So I took it apart again, turns out that there is a very very small button on the print board side and the power button has to be adjusted exactly over it and locked in a cavity between the front and back. So if your button is loose it is not properly clicked in the cavity or the cavity has been made to big from the factory
I fixed mine "by accident" when I was prying out the button from the bezel. Under the bezel was another plastic frame that was glued on. When the plastic frame holding the silver button split from the bezel it had more room to move, reaching the pcb button that was just too recessed. Yey
Mine(power button) started to failed on the third day after I purchased it. Then I decided to forget about it and just look for alternatives to power on my transformer without using the power button. so I get the dock, dock seems to be defective, a brand new dock where the touchpad doesn't wake up my transformer(rarely does), this is just one among several issues dock came with. Am I a lucky asus customer or what?
Does anyone else's Nexus 4 have a power button that feels "mushy" and doesn't have a pronounced "click" like the volume buttons? It might be the S-Line case that's amplifying the issue but even with the case off, the power button doesn't feel the same as the volume ones. The click is there but it's just not very strong and it feels like something that could be pushed in and stuck there someday...
my N4 feels okay, i usually have the Google bumper on it anyways so most of the time i feeling on the bumper (and its better than the actual power button itself!)
But if ur worry about it being suck you can always RMA it....or theres always the option of volume wake
Cheers!
My power button feels slightly soft... But I don't feel it much since I have a case on.

Yeah, one of my (very few) complaints about this phone is how the power button feels to press. Mine does click when pressed, but sometimes if I press on an edge instead of in the center, it'll click but the screen won't turn on. Hoping for a decent volume wake or PGM-style app to come out for the N4
EDIT: I had the official bumper on mine for a while, and it makes all the buttons feel great, so you might consider picking one up if the button feel really bugs you. I decided that the phone felt too sexy without a bumper

Sexy until an accidental drop occurs
It isn't very shallow coming from a Galaxy Nexus. I thought my power button was shorted out or something when I first got the Nexus 4, because I felt like I wasn't using more force than necessary to turn it on. I got used to it after a while, but I occasionally have to tap the power button multiple times...
For me the power button is especially hard to press with this case... It feels different from the volume buttons and to really get a clicking feel, I need to use my fingertips to press it otherwise there's pretty much no response... Is the covering too thick to get appropriate feedback? Anyone else with the S Line case care to comment?
Thanks.

EDITED : nvm...I just saw your location's in London...might take a while for the case to ship to your location
From most angles it seems really stiff, but if you push it slightly from backwards to forwards, it feels really clicky and not at all hard to press down even for long periods of time.

Agreed, this is only a temp case tho so no worries.
I loved my Cimo S-Line TPU case for my Captivate and Galaxy S 2. It took a couple weeks but eventually the rubber became nice and soft and pliable. I actually preferred the little bit of protection that it gave me from accidentally hitting the power button repeatedly in my pocket.

+1 I couldn't agree more, the case looks nice but my main complains are that the clear version of the case sticks to the back of the phone and makes it look like there is moisture or bubbles. And you have to press the power button firmly.

I got it a week before its fantastically working ya harder then that of the open but gives better protection i personally feel that its in the best interest to have that hard pressing also avoids unnecessary pressing.

Try ordering the Diztronic TPU Case or the Poetic Borderline Bumper off of eBay.
I always do a tiny mod with all my TPU cases just for this reason. I want my tactility when I press my buttons. I usually have a knife or a razor and make two vertical parallel slits near the left and right border of the power buttons.
It makes the buttons feel much better and has never failed me.
You can also cut a rectangle over the button out entirely - I always do, works like a charm
mine is soft and easy to press. I don't use it anymore because it was just a temp case for me but I didn't have any issues with the buttons. I ordered the one sold by txgadgets who's a US seller.
It's like this phone was made for lefties. These buttons are poorly placed and really sensitive, and I keep activating them, especially when i pick the phone up. I had a Speigen tough armor case on my note 4 which flattened out the buttons, and made them less sensitive to press (you'd have to really press them to activate them, on the 6p they activate the moment you touch them).
Does anyone know of a similar case like the one I mentioned for the 6P? this is my only issue, otherwise i love the phone, but it's a very big issue, and I'm considering a Note5, or holding out for the Note 6 if I cant resolve it.
Thanks guys!

You can use any case and simply make sure to shorten the button parts on the inside of the case. This will decrease the sensitivity.

It's like this phone was made for lefties. These buttons are poorly placed and really sensitive, and I keep activating them, especially when i pick the phone up. I had a Speigen tough armor case on my note 4 which flattened out the buttons, and made them less sensitive to press (you'd have to really press them to activate them, on the 6p they activate the moment you touch them).
Does anyone know of a similar case like the one I mentioned for the 6P? this is my only issue, otherwise i love the phone, but it's a very big issue, and I'm considering a Note5, or holding out for the Note 6 if I cant resolve it.
Thanks guys!

I have a Chinese made case by Nillkin. It causes the buttons to be recessed and that decreases the sensitivity for me.

I kept pressing the volume and power button too, but slowly learned to hold the phone differently.

Lol same. I actually used to hold my phone in my left hand because of my First HTC. Then after using Samsung I switched. Only to switch back with the 6P.
"Well I keep accidentally hitting the power and volume buttons"
Well just stop it.

Just got the first case, it's the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper , and it completely solves this issue. You have to really press the buttons to activate them, otherwise it is nearly impossible to accidentally do so. I'm completely satisfied, I doubt I'll find a case which better resolves this issue, although I have a few more on the way , so I'll report back on them when they arrive.
The only minor downside to this case, is it has no back, which I normally wouldn't mind at all, except that the 6p has a very slippery back, , and my fingers slide a bit on it if I'm not holding the edges really well. Mostly this is a non issue since I almost always only hold the edges, but i do need to be a bit more careful when using the phone one handed.
I'm really impressed, and I'm never impressed.

Just got two more cases, the Google Nexus 6p case, and the Adopted protected case. They are both very similar, and great cases. Both also resolve the button sensitivity issue. Great fit on both, they both are slightly tacky on the sides as well. The only real difference is the Google case has some kind of weird industrial carpet type of material on the back, and the Adopted case is plain rubber/plastic. I like the Google one slightly better. I'm also waiting on a back protector for the Rhino bumper, which is also a great option.
