But then that means if you put it in your pocket it might suddenly do something because it's not locked yet.

It might, but it hasn't in the 18 months I've been using it. I don't know what the timer is supposed to be, but it seems like something less than 2 seconds. I'm pretty sure I couldn't get my phone in my pocket and press the power button that quickly if I wanted to.

Also, the case adds to the pressure needed to depress the button anyway.
