Generally, the best places for power on/off switches are:

1. In the central area of the saber, in between where your hands would usually manipulate the saber (at the top "emitter" area and bottom "pommel")

2. Literally on the pommel, somewhat recessed as to avoid damage. This can be prohibitive for some speaker setups, but not all speakers must sit at the "end" of a hilt.

Those are the easiest to manage. However--if you can craftily "recess" your switch into any part of the saber... you can put it almost anywhere and it will hopefully avoid damage (from dropping it), and "misfires" (triggering it on/off by accident).
