pocketshield

Windows mobile has got a lot of screen lock applications , but this particular shareware application called PocketShield offers a unique way of locking and unlocking the screen. PocketShield uses the light sensor to determine if the phone is inside something(without light reaching it). So if it’s receiving light it is probably because you have it in your hand, or you have it over your desk, or someplace where there would be no reason to have it locked. Other locking options include

• Hand gesture, moving it in a particular way.
• Slide your finger over the screen from the top towards down.
• Stylus out.
• Press D-pad round button.
• Application permissions

You can combine any of the 5 unlocking mechanisms, as they are designed to work together. Choose the configuration that suits you better!

What’s new?
- Notifications customization.
- Notification booster while in standby (will remind you your desired alerts and notifications so you never forget them).
- Slide-to-snooze for Notifications booster.
- Option to lock(or power off) with stylus in.
- Auto display hidden WM notifications after unlocking (no more need to click over the tiny taskbar bell).
- WM6.5 fully supported.
- WM Alarm supported in Applications Permissions (PS unlock upon WM alarm)
- Lite mode: can disable completely phone and/or notification options to just leave lock/unlock features.
