    is your power button on the top right sort of recessed into the body and harder to push without using a fingernail (i have larger hands)? thanks.

    Yes it is, and even though I have smaller hands it is still a little annoying. I usually poke it with my pencil eraser.

    Yes, it is. Have to use the very tip of a finger to push it. I also hate that the power LED is in the center of it as it makes it hard to see when you are trying to do a hard reset.

    good to hear i'm not the only one. does yours have a little play in the button before it actually "makes contact"? i wonder if i can put something on the button so that it hits earlier.

    i too have to use more of the end of my finger to hit it.

    I normally turn on my AAO using the keyboard. Powerbutton never bothers me.

    I'm going to bump this as I'm curious. It seems the newer ones don't have this issue, but most of the ones I tried several months ago had this.
