Home button: should it stick above bezel?

[p107r0]

On my Note the home button is slightly raised above the bezel - not more than 0.5mm - which causes accidental turning on of the device, when it's carried in pocket or bag.

I wonder if all N8 have similar construction, or is mine somehow special and should be replaced - could anyone confirm how it looks on yours?

Mine is that way too.

That's normal.
I would also prefer it to be ever so slightly recessed instead... or at least flush.
I also wish I could disable the capacitive buttons with a gesture or long press or something... i brush them by mistake too easily in landscape

It's disappointing and looks a bit like a design mistake - on Note I the home buttons is placed below frame, precisely to avoid accidental presses.
Still, it's a minor issue, besides that Note 8 is everything I ever needed, except for embedded espresso machine and foldable 50 inch display....
