Then I'm curious about how it is possible that the small internal switch is pushed when nothing is pushing the external button.

Can you explain why it is possible?

It actually does not take a lot of pressure. Just holding the case with the device on the right down corner between my thumb and indexfinger, or even just tapping it like you tap the screen is enough. If tapping the screen (in a normal way) can break it... Also, this does not happen when the device is not in the case.
