Default [Q] Any way to lock keys as well?

My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?

our phone have only one physical lock button but you can use some application for lock the screen by tap the application's icon such as "screen off and lock" or "lock widget"

and you can unlock by home button also.

Oh, but what I meant was not that I want to lock/unlock without using the physical lock/power button. I'd like it to sustain its funcionality apart from the "hold" action when the screen is locked. It shouldn't open the window with flight mode/turn off etc. when the phone is locked. Do the mentioned above apps let me do this?

So there's no way to change the function of the power button?

The above applications can only lock your phone by tapping the screen, but to unlock without using the power button...mabye a developer can help you so he will make a lock application wich ignores the power button when the phone is locked and you could unlock it by pushing the home button(wich is harder to pres by mistake in your pocket).
Anyway, it could be a good application for Market, I dont think that you are the only person that has this problem.
