I am actually enjoying watching how this project is growing more than buying something already finished.
I can play with my PP and if it breaks it is ok, not a big loss, I get another one. Even getting one was an adventure!!
That is why I think moving the switches to a better position would multiply its power millions of times.
I see people defending the switches as they are. Wouldn't you prefer to have them more accessible? honestly. I mean, maybe if we ask, pine64 will put them outside. Or as @bcnaz suggested with a sliding door (but make buttons bigger please). My cover start cracking!

Also, from the Brave Heart picture, it looks switches were bigger than in the community edition. Can anyone compare side by side?

Just eyeing it from the picture the proportions of the component spacing the switch sides are the same. A good place to check though would be the hardware revision doc located here.
