We have released a new edition of PocketShield: the “Proximity” Edition for devices with proximity sensor. Currently only supported for TouchPro2, Tilt2 and HD2. Soon it will be supported for HD Mini, Samsung Omnia2 and Omnia Pro.
PocketShield “Proximity” Edition has the same core functionality of PocketShield but narrowed down to operate only with a proximity sensor. No other unlocking mechanisms are available as the proximity itself eliminates the need of any other alternative methods. It is not a “lock screen” oriented protection, it actually still has a very simple black screen but can be barely noted as it will only work when device is covered or stored inside its case, pocket or bag. As soon as no object is close to the sensor it will automatically unlock.
Since no lock screen is necessary, there are no notification options available, neither lock screen “Design”. Phone options are also limited, and it is assumed that the phone application has its own protecting mechanism, except for hardware keys which PocketShield “Proximity” will continue blocking.
Note: Not all cases/pouches are sensed by the HTC proximity sensor, read this post.
So will the traditional PocketShield lock screen be useless now?
Not at all. It is just a different locking approach. A lock screen is not just a “lock screen”, it provides valuable and instant information to the user in a snap, it is the first thing you see when you pick your phone.
We strongly believe there is room for a lot of new functionality to be added mostly to the “Protection” edition. We have some pretty big ideas in mind at the moment.
Some people prefer to use a lock screen, some others don’t. This is why PocketShield has split into these 2 different editions, so we can serve both and let each edition reveal its potential through time and through technology innovation.
Pricing for this version is lower ($9.90) because of having only basic lock/unlock features. Customers who already bought any previous version will have a 30% discount.
Both versions are now available from the download page or CAB file directly from here.
