I've been testing several solutions for locking the diamond but I'm not fully satisfied with any of them and I was curious how do you guys do it.

I tried the standard windows lock, that works fine but it is a pain to unlock the phone with those little buttons
I also tried S2U2 and it is by far the more elegant solution but there's a bug with diamond devices that will bypass the lock by pressing the home key twice. This could happen while walking or running. Also it unlocks the phone in case of events like new text message.
I also used throttlelock but frankly when in a rush the pattern often does not work and I ended up uninstalling it.

All I want to avoid is to place unwanted calls while the phone is in my pants. I wish there was a hardware unlock button :)

Have a look here. Works well for me.

- Turn the device and it locks the Diamond, turn again and it unlocks the Diamond. (It gives one vibrate feedback when locked, two when unlocked, very easy).

Alterative method:
- Take out the sylus and it unlocks the Diamond, put back in the stylus and it relocks the Diamond.

Thanks will try this method.
How likely is it that with all this turning the phone will slip out of the hands and fall on the floor?

Lol, no its for real. Im using version 1.4 right now. I preffered it over the 'rotating the phone' method. Its called stylus lock.

Tried all of them.. nice, but but not quite.. one slipping out of my hand, other one u have to use both hands.. So I ended up edititing the left or right softkey in tf3d and set it to lock the phone.. still not as nice as iphone's slide and android's pattern.. Still waiting for (un)locking with the wheel..

I just turn off the display with the Power button. Just as good as locking the phone IMO.
