Same with accidentally sliding the switch: if the switch gets activated by accident, it seems likely that the screen will get touched accidentally.

If this is why Kobo made the change, I would rather have them make it option, ESPECIALLY with the switch.
Not really. The cover even with a strap can slide enough so the magnet is no longer in position to trigger sleep. The only time I accidentally hit the power switch was when I was stuffing an iPad back into my gadget bag so it's not that likely to happen.

I have the feeling that this is a 'feature' that some will like and others will consider as cold pancakes without honey.
