Few things are more annoying about large, flat, touch screen phones as carrying it and activating it unintentionally or manually locking and unlocking all the time to keep it from randomly communicating with the world from your pocket.
The leather Blackberry Storm holster has a magnetic strip embedded in the spine that interacts with the phone telling it that that it's time to go into holster mode.
When the phone is pulled from the holster, it automatically wakes up and unlocks. The optional password protection can automatically be activated when entering the case.
When the phone is placed in the holster it automatically goes into a low power mode. The sound alerts and calls can automatically go to vibrate via options selected off of the SOUNDS button. It isn't immediately obvious that you can scroll down in this menu. 
The magic case is also perfect for streaming music while at the gym as there is a cut for the headphones/hands free jack. The power to the hungry screen is shut off and you don't have to carry this stupid box around wondering where to put it. The top of the case enclosure protects the head jack connection while in use.
The high quality leather case snaps closed with a magnetic leather tongue. Amazingly after two months of crawling, grinding and catching on things, I haven't broken this yet.
