I find that the power key position makes it hard me to lock the Jolla device by pressing the key with one hand. Thus I suggest to change its position.

You can lock the screen by swiping the screen from top, no need to push the power button.

Sorry for offering an opposite answer @Rigoberto, but using just one hand I find the power button location close to optimal for locking the phone. It could be moved like 1cm lower, but any more and I needed to bend my thumb a peculiar way to reach it (with my thumb at least). On the other hand, then the more used volume button would be located worse (at least for my thumb)
not all people have massive hands like you have, I have big hands already and need to stretch to reach it... depending on what I do it is the volume rocker down I reach without moving the phone in my palm and there is a just to it as I reach just the lowest part of it
chemist ( 2014-01-31 15:46:30 +0300 )edit@Mohjive so true, now you say it I remember that I most of the time did not use the tip of my thumb...but I just tried around a bit and after a few apps in use I find the very center-position suiting. I tried to hold the device in a way I cannot loose it from my palm at any time and still be able to reach the topmost part of the volume-rocker. More annoying are on-screen controls as I cannot reach the top 1cm of the screen at all without loosing the full grip on the case.

@simo: When I hold the phone in a way that I can type with my thumb I can't barely reach the bottom part of the volume rocker without switching grips. Either you hold your phone in a way that is unnatural to me when you type, have very big hands or you switch grips between typing and locking.

I find the current position to be good. I easily reach the power button, doesn't matter if I hold the phone in left och right hand. I guess it depends on hand size/shape and how you tend to hold the phone.

Via comments the question can be edited to serve us better, and via voting answers the question can finally have one accepted. Both ways takes us better towards our common goals :)
