The button on the back turns on in my purse or when the phone is in my pocket, so the uNu is on pretty much all the time. Is it okay to use this way?

There are two ways to use it. 1) if the light on the back is on, you are first using the complete charge on the Unu, then when it is drained it will automatically switch to the battery power on your iPhone. 2) is to use the phone battery first. The Unu will keep it charged as long as it has 'extra' charge in it. This is the way that I prefer it. When I put my phone in the charger it makes a bell type of noise. The light does not come on. If it does (it has a few times) I just push the button. It should go out. My experience makes me believe that it lasts longer with option two. I try to not have that light on, but I've never really tested this theory. What it boils down to, is I really don't know. Lol!

Hi I have had no problem. You have to keep the button pressed down while turning, Best Wishes.

the buttons are pretty "firm" so I haven't really had any issues with this being a problem. I have accidentally turned it off maybe once.

Yes, press the MIN buttom to turn on or off. The button is hard to push, so you won't be pushing it accidently.

I would not worry about accidentally activating the emergency button.The button is surrounded by a rim and is recessed slightly. Once you press it, you have to hold it for a few seconds before it activates. Because of that design, it is easy to activate intentionally and very hard to do so by accident. In 2+ years of continuous use of our phone, there has never been a single unintentional activation.

On this particular device, there is no button on the back. There is only the one silver button in front that turns unit on, off and for external device detection when button is pressed and held for several seconds. Hope this is of help. This unit is for streaming music only. I've used it and recommended it to several satisfied friends.

I use mine almost exclusively just for this. You want to get into the "habit" of turning it on before you make contact with a person. Also, the laws of your State will tell you if you can use the "one-party" knowledge pertaining to the audio. That one party would be you, yourself. That is the law in the state I live in.

No. The on-off button is a discrete binary switch, either on or off with a firm click. That is the way the switch should be. This is a pocket flashlight. You would not want pressure on the switch to turn this flashlight on in a pocket, glowing through the fabric and draining the battery.

Yeah, you would just want to be careful as to not hit the button on the front. It is EXTREMELY loud. It would be hard to accidentally push that button though.

My phone is always in the case and the case is only turned on when the phone is low. But you could use it my way or the other way.

I have found that if I hold it in my left hand it works OK you just have to hold it a bit differently. I take it with me every time I go shopping or out to eat it slips into any pocket in my purse and it is very handy. I would recommend it.

It's not too sensitive. Maybe a few times it has turned on in my pocket when I leaned up against a counter or something, but overall it does not happen very often. If it does occur the batter on the phone charges and then the batter turns off once the phone is charged.

As I said in my review: it can be TOO easily activated! The first day I had this case, I put the phone in my pocket inverted (to protect the headset plug connected to the bottom of the phone) and it powered ITSELF on -- enough times, with failed security pattern, to RESET ITSELF. So, yes, the power button is VERY easy to operate. (I fixed this by removing the case's power button "insert" altogether. It's not all that recessed...but enough to avoid accidental operation.)

No, it is not. I already knew it before to buy. I thought it would be a problem, but the microfone is very well adjusted, the video always turns on when necessary.

For stuff like Authenticators? Yes. It's essentially like your number pad, except instead of it being off or on, it's on all the time.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.
