Suggestion: For future Pinephones, please place kill switches outside around the edge
#1
With the librem phones, the hardware kill switches are placed around the edges of the phone, but with pinephones, it is placed inside the case. It kinda defeats the purpose of placing it inside the phone the switches, as placing the switches inside the phone (behind the back cover) makes it hard to enable certain hardware.

For exmaple if I am getting a call and I have my microphone switched off, I would have to enable it before talking to the person. On the librem phone this can easily be achieved, but on the pinephones I would have to open the back cover and enable it and then I can talk to the person which is inconvenient.
