How does the Blackberry lock it's keyboard in its case?

Question

I know there is a magnet in the original case you get from your provider but is there another method for locking it so that I may purchase a different case? Or do you have to order a special one for the Blackberry?

Sandy :O)

Answer 1

Any magnet in the same spot should work, so you can always put one on the new case yourself.  Remember, it has to be in the right spot, or else it won't trigger the lock.

srry idk but i do have pearl

Answer 3

On the home screen, use the keyboard shortcut to lock the BB.  Press 'k' before putting it in the case.  This locks the device.

BTW, the case magnet only turns off the screen, not lock the device.  The lockout is determined by the security timeout setting.
