5th Gen, sleep/wake button

[dinosaur1]

My iPhone 5's sleep/wake button seems higher than on my iPod Touch 5th Gen. Why is the button so low on the iPod?

My 5th Gen iPod button is also lower than the one on my iPhone 5...

Not sure why but I assume maybe a different button used or different manufacturing process..

It feels sturdy so I am not all that worried about it, for now..
