On call, phone in pocket, hang up button hit - bluetooth headset

Here is a dilemma my wife has encountered.

Both she and I use bluetooth headsets. She said she is on a call and put the phone in her pocket. While walking around her pocket gets bumped and happens to bump on the hang up screen button - bye bye call. She said this happened more than once.

As I thought about it, it seems that people would also talk with the phone in their hand (or purse) and could easily press the hang up button as the screen is very sensitive.

Seems I'd like some hard button or screen button to manually lock the screen, otherwise it is much to easy to have the wrong thing happen.

Is there a way to do this or just something for the wishlist?

If you are on a blue tooth headset or on the speakerphone you can hit the lock button on the top and it will lock the screen while you stay on the call.

The downside is that If you do it when you are using the regular speaker it will end the call, wish they would change that because I have taken it away from my head to see who was calling in and accidently switched to the bluetooth headset even though I wasn't wearing it at the time.
