This is what will take the most adjustment! It's a FAR better position and makes a lot more sense, but hours after I first received it, I'm still instinctively reaching to the top of my device to find... nothing! :D
 
Maybe once or twice the first couple of times but not since. Glad it is where it is to tell the truth.
 
Android got me out of that habit, for better or worse.

Question, how is the sleep button aligned compared to the volume buttons? My Note 3 drives me insane because they are directly across from each other. So trying to use either set of buttons one handed often resulted in activating the button(s) directly across. Horrible placement.

Good question. On the 6 at least, the sleep button is almost directly opposite the increase volume button. I have caught myself increasing the volume slightly when applying pressure to the sleep button, but thankfully not the other way around.
 
It is something that has always bugged me on my Samsung S4. Forever altering volume when trying to sleep and vice versa. Guess I will be used to it on my new 6.

Having had my 6 since this morning, this is really my only complaint so far. It's hard to press the power button without also pressing the volume one. Makes you appreciate why Apple initially placed it on the top of its phones. I think the top still could have worked on the 6.
