Hi,
I´m having trouble with locking n900.
Keyboard opens sometimes inadvertently in my pocket. I want to lock it so that it only responds to pressing power button or unlock switch and after that asks swipe to unlock.
And unlock switch falls back to off position when u release it.
EDIT: When I try to open the keyboard I need to press a lot to get it open and it unlocks when it is almost fully open.

Opening the hardware keyboard also unlocks the phone for the time the keyboard is out...
You can let your n900 automatically lock the screen, not just turn it off, so you need to enter the unlock key to be turned back on.
Still won't really help with your problem, wish there was a nice case/bag available...

Thank you for your tips, but as HoellP stated the problem persist as keyboard inadvertently sometimes opens fully in my jeans front pocket. Especially when i sit down :|. So maybe i have to use some other place for my "phone". Of course this feels a bit stupid because I think there should be some settings in display control panel for locking device so that it only reacts to power button pressing.
Actually i think that this problem is also related to lock+answering problem where phone unlocks itself when it receives call.
