The rounded conical top cover also makes unplugging power cords much easier

It doesn't look like the clear cover is removable (thus why I was looking elsewhere for a switch), but you just have to pop it off

The cover on top is nice, so you can accidentally turn the whole thing off.

As they apparently have received reviews of people not being able to turn on the device, they now include a bright yellow slip that explains that you need to remove the clear plastic cover to access to the on/off button.

But the plastic covering over the on and off button is clunky.

The cover over the power switch is a little difficult to remove; I leave mine off as I am not worried about anyone accidentally bumping it to OFF

It also has a (removable, optional) clear plastic cover, so you can still see the on/off status of the switch, but avoid accidentally hitting the power button and turning off your systems

I personally like the cover over the on/off switch as it prevents someone from accidentally turning the strip off.

You have to remove the plastic clear cover and push the blue button.

love the cover over the on and off switch

The clear cover at the top is removable and the power button is under that

Really, it needs a protective cover like the nuclear launch button

The button on top is a pain to access; the clear cover isn't hinged or anything

The blue light, actually a switch, was covered by a clear plastic cap that had to be removed before the switch could be depressed

The lighted on/off switch on the top of the unit is protected by a clear plastic dome, which requires some effort to remove (in my opinion, a tight cover is preferable to one that could fall off easily)

I did however find a review that described the clear plastic shipping cover over the power button on the top center of this unit

The cover makes it difficult to turn off accidentally

The clear cover you see in the picture is secured only by a pressure fit and serves as a protective cover for the on/off switch in order to prevent accidentally switching the unit on/off

so I could plug in a Kill-o-watt at a nice angle for viewing
