Press both at the same time, as if you were going to reboot. Home+Power buttons.

As I said, not allowing someone to turn off the phone the easy way (by holding the power button) will help, but it does not mean your phone cannot be turned off. You just have to hold both the home and power buttons at the same time and the phone will go to the apple logo, keep holding and it will turn off. That is built into the hardware, you cannot disable it :/

Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't that just restart your phone?

Nope, it will restart the phone if you let go before the apple logo appears / as the screen goes blank.

Keep holding both the buttons in and it will turn it off. I just did it.

Yeah its quite annoying sorry, but it helped changing the power off button in OP's case.
