Sounds like you have a poor case design then since most of them are very careful to ensure that all switches, buttons and ports are still accessible so you don't need to remove the ipad from it's case just to use one of them.

The big deal is that they have taken away functionality that has been in place since launch, is very useful for some people and replaced it with functionality that is already bettered (on the ipad) by holding down the volume switch for a second or so because unlike the iphone you simply don't have the same need to selectively mute some volumes if you need your ipad to be quiet.

While you may prefer the software version, the point is that nobody is trying to get that way removed or preventing you from using it if that is what you prefer, they are simply complaining because they haven't been afforded the same courtesy due to the removal of the method they preferred.
