Here is another take at it using multi tabs. The power icon is a real eye catcher to me. Blending the power icon, the Frame logo, and slightly inset tabs looks like this:

@iuzx Yeah just realized that is very similar, but it is also very similar to a negative of an old keyhole.
Some more design iterations
Using the magic of JSPaint:
The idea is to make the top part of the case rounded.

These three additional variations focus on giving the user more visual and tactile feedback, by means of either a power icon, or a concave button divot. In some cases, the location of the text logo has been moved. Additionally, the text logo is featured as purely an embossment:
A2. The inside negative space, of the power icon, is weighted equally with the negative space surrounding the power symbol. Continuing with the trend of diagonally traveling shapes, the icon matches the established optical flow. The symbol itself, as well as the text logo, are both subdued thanks to the embossing. Therefore, the emphasis is placed more heavily on the button, which is housed within Framework’s icon logo.
B3. A tactile, concave divot takes the place of the power icon. Serving as an additional visual cue: this is a space to be interacted with. The concave circle is the same dimensions as the Framework gear logo’s inner circle. This reinforces the visual communication and branding. The debossed text logo has been moved further to the lower right. This increased seclusion is responsible for its greater visual relevance. Thus, a visual balance is found between the text logo and the tab’s concave interaction area.
C3. The power icon returns in this variation. As a change of pace, the text logo breaks free and finds a larger home. An additional, missing vent-hole is deserving of the text logo’s gratitude. The clear result is a transparent division of labor: a prominent Framework logo; a magnetic power button.
Note: The power icon and concave button are both interchangeable among all design variations. Perhaps both can be used together, simultaneously, without issue.
Note 2: I do not think a power icon is necessary to communicate that there is a button, or what the function of the button is. My reasoning, for this opinion, is based on who is the primary target audience for these 3D printed shells. Generally, I suspect this group consists of tech enthusiasts who already understand where the SMD button is on the mainboard. Regardless, I can understand why someone would want more visual cues.
Maybe eventually, there should be a series of slightly different design choices that a user can choose from before printing? Some people may want a very simple, minimalist case. Others may prefer a shell with a more elaborate visual or tactile communication.
Thank you again!

TY @Cheese, here you go. I updated the post above to show a link to the model.

Hi,
here are my design propositions:
Design A is a rectangular button that wraps around the edge. It is inspired by the look of the expansion cards. It’s size is a bit bigger so it is easily pressable.
Design B is a triangle with a rounded edge based of the rounded edges of the case.
Design C only uses the framework-f as the outline for the power-button. I noticed that the f encapsulates a space that is perfect for the power-button so I used it for a design. I think the result is surprisingly simple yet effective.
Notes:
- On every design additional stuff like the framework text or logo can be added.
- The dark-orange dot shows the rough position of where the power button should be.
I hope you all like my ideas and that we find ways of combining all our ideas into something great and unique

The typeface logo trademark for Facebook doesn’t mention computer hardware so it shouldn’t be an issue.

I see mention of “data processing equipment and computers”. (which should cover things like Facebook / Meta Portal)

Here’s my submission.
Hexagons are the bestagons, as a frame border to highlight the power button making it more noticeable among the the air vent holes. While we got the users attention it wouldn’t help but to have some company branding with its Logo as well with the inner circle slightly depressed (the “F” is optional but will help with bridging when 3D printed). The support for the button is just the extension of the “F” from the framework logo on a lower plane in line with the previous case dimensions.
Others things to consider would be to rotate the cog by like 30º so the hexagon and logo is tilted.
