Help Power Button

I just got a YooMee case for my n7 and I put it on the device. I then used the smart wake function and it worked, my niece tapped the back of the case near the power button and it turned the device off. Then I began to replicate what happened. I took the device out of the case and tried to do it again and sure enough it was turning on and off the device. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes I seen some people comment about this on amazon reviews for different covers. It is either return the case or cut off the magnet because you are going to continue to have this problem.

That video doesn't even have the Nexus 7 in a case.

This would appear to be Nexus 7 related, not case related at all.

Please read the bold!
 
Is your power button tight or loose, I am wondering if it got hit and it has lost the spring that prevents it from being pressed easily. That happened to my kindle2 on the volume control, it lost the click after it fell on it.
 
OK without taking an N7 apart is it possible that they use a magnetic mechanical switch to turn it off with a case magnet and by tapping on it you are activating the switch since you have that feature turned on it is now sensitive to that?
