If I'm switching my grip to hit the high up bottom it may as well be on top of the phone, it's perfect with the 4.7" iPhone but it is too high on the Plus model.

So you never lock your phone?

I let the auto-screen off handle locking in the vast majority of cases. I do also use Assistive Touch, so I can lock my phone with that. The only time I use my power button is whilst performing a hard reset, or entering DFU mode.
 
For me, I turn the phone on with the home button, to use the Touch ID.

To turn it off, it's usually in my left hand. Left thumb on the top above the volume buttons, palm of my left hand on the bottom of the left side. Then turn the phone off with the left fore-finger. Can't think of the last time I adjusted my volume buttons inadvertently, so it's a non-issue for me.

Not saying it should be a non-issue for everyone...

When I'm holding the 6S+ my fingers are nowhere near the power or volume buttons.
Then when I wish to use the power button I just move my thumb up and press it. My middle finger, the closest to the volume buttons, is still a good centimetre or more lower than the lowest volume button during this procedure.
 
If u hold it in your left hand that does not work
I have an opposible thumb which rests on the Left side of the phone
No power button there

I will try that. Thanks
 
I got used to it being on the side, but I would prefer it to be on the top.

I haven't pressed the volume buttons by mistake yet.
