In addition to fingers it is also handed. Either way the difference is SLIGHT.
I'm a lefty so the side plate is VERY SLIGHTLY in the way only for the two
button turn on and I turn it on with the right hand. Once on any finger works
well for any button push.
My summary is that if you want the side plates and cover for the protection then
go for it, access is not an issue.

Phil,
It all depends on how you depress the buttons - which fingers you use and what
angle your fingers use to 'attack' the buttons.
Try a quick test - find boxes or books that are bout 3/4 inch above the front
panel of the KX3 and set them at the ends of the enclosure. Do you find it
awkward to operate the buttons or not?
I personally find it difficult to operate the two pushbuttons used for power
on/off, so I do not have the Side KX on mine.
However, the protection that Side KX offers for travel may trump any slight
difficulties one may have operating the buttons.

I am considering acquiring Side KX for my KX3 and potential PX3. I am
concerned that the sides might restrict access to the small buttons on the
left and right edges of the radio. Is it an issue?
