Furthermore...

The design is broken. It's a neat design, but after listing all these considerations about how your components are protected, they put this big on-off switch right on top where your dog can step on it. Since the whole thing seems to have no flat surface, the button can wind up sitting face-down, along with the indicator lights, where the whole thing can shut off anywhere people step on it.

This is a problem with most power strip designs, but usually you can tape a rocker switch open, if it's in a place where it might get stepped on.
