Hi, Lauren. I'm new to using iThings too, and have managed to push buttons I didn't want to by, I think, my palm touching the screen while I tried picking my iPod Touch up. Before picking the iPod up, I've gotten in to the habit of shaping my hand in to a C, like I'm holding a glass of water. I pick it up around the narrower edges; if I pick it up close to the top, I can use my index finger to get to the sleep button. HTH, Dani

But that is a larger keyboard, not a dinky one like you might use with an iPod. Touching all the things on screen don't make a lot of difference so long as you don't double tap them, or split tap them I suppose if 2 fingers get involved. In truth, it's the first time I've heard this as being an issue. In the absence of a keyboard, you will have to pick it up at some point.

As is whenever I try picking it up to pres the physical sleep button on top I end up pressing all the buttons on the home screen. There are many, many very experienced Apple product users here, so I was just hoping I could tap into the accumulated knowledge on this list. I know I can place the sleeping iPod down and tap the home key to turn it on, so I'm hoping there is an equally quick way of locking the screen. Thanks.
