Wake Up

I am considering this phone but have a question. The power button on the back seems annoying to wake the phone up. I understand Knock On wakes it up but there lies my question. If my phone is on my desk, I have to grab the phone with one hand and knock with the other or knock then pick it up. Two steps to wake it up. With my current phone, I grab the phone and push the power button to wake in the same motion. One step. I know this sounds lazy, but why add an extra step to wake, and I'm concerned about waking while driving which I do a lot of. Can anyone alleviate my concerns? Thanks.
 
I probably havent used the power button more than a dozen times since having this phone........ picking it up with my hand and double tapping with my thumb in 1 motion is the norm.....

like most I thought I may have an issue with the rear power button....... but the knock feature completely eliminates that... I had it routine in the first couple of days......... now I find myself trying to knock on everything...... my wife or daughters cheap crap S4s...... or my garbage iPhone from work....or any of our tablets....how can anyone live with a power button... so neanderthal

Being able to just use your thumb is great info.
