Hmm Screen Lock Program

Hi all,
I've got my X5 in a Belkin flip case (which I love, works great) but when I close the case, the pockets on the flap always press on my screen and I always have new tasks being scheaduled when I flip in open.
I'm looking for a screen locking program similar to what cell phones have where it locks so you can't accidently press numbers when you put it in your pocket.
I realize you can just turn it off, but I sometimes like to leave mine on. I would like a program that has one-touch lock on it. I'm kinda new to the axim so if there's a simple solution I'm overlooking, I apologize.

in settings you can set the buttons to not allow the Axim to be turned on.

Worried Same here

I have exactly the same wish! But I am also unable to find a program doing this. It is wildly annoying to have all sorts of applications being opened and even appointments scheduled while out running and listening to music. So, if you know about such a program, please let it be hear. If it does not exist and you can program it, you have your first customer!

In Windows Mobile, I have one of the buttons programed to toggle off the screen. This stops the accidental screen presses from activating any programs. For other applications, I have a freeware program called PowerCheck which puts a screen off icon on the Today screen. This turns off the screen until you press the far left (normally the calendar activation) button.

PowerCheck is available from freewarePPC.com. It's listed as being for PPC02 but has worked without problems for me on a WM03 PPC.
