To your local electronics store.
Yeah, I know backers were supposed to get one for free bla bla bla but come on, it's a ten cent switch! (It's in fact not even that much, you can get 100 of them for a dollar or two on ebay or aliexpress!) I'm sure you can bombard the Pine team with emails and have them send you a single switch in an envelope but is it really worth it? With the current response times you'd be lucky to have it before Christmas.
Edit: the power switch doesn't even work properly; it can be used to power off the board but not to power it on unless you have a battery with sufficient voltage attached as explained here: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1022

I see the power switch behavior you mention when using debian (not sure about ubuntu, but assume its the case also), but with the android images the power switch works fine, power-on or power-off, without a battery connected.
Rawrgles...if you're in the US, PM me an address and I'll put a couple switches in the mail to you. Or as Bonterra said, they're a dime a dozen on ebay.
