    it’s not going to be accidentally hit

    How often do you accidentally press a power button on a desktop computer? I don’t even do that on my laptop, where the power button is close to the keyboard.

      My phone case has a magnet in it (so it mildly sticks to metal surfaces).
      I’ve put it on a laptop and accidentally triggered the “lid close” sensor

      Is your power button at the back of your pc next to the usb and hdmi ports? The place you dont look when trying to plug in a memory stick by feel.

        Of course not, who would put a power button on the back or bottom of the computer? Front, side, or top are the places it goes for almost every computer out there.
