Convenient Use Cases
Touch Protector is a simple app that disables touch screen and physical button operations, but it has many useful uses.
- When walking while looking at a map app, the map does not shift even if you touch the screen.
- Walking with the music video playing in your pocket.
- Locking the camera during video recording allows you to enjoy various camera work without worrying about accidental operation.
- When using your phone as a navigation system for motorcycles, you can prevent accidental operation due to raindrops.
- When tracing a displayed image, you can lock it and place a piece of paper on it.
- When you show a photo to someone, you can lock it and give it to them to prevent them from seeing the other photos.
- etc.
If you have other interesting ways to use it, I would appreciate it if you could write them in the comments.

Restrictions for Android 8 and later
Due to additional restrictions in Android OS 8 or later, Touch Protector can no longer disable the notification bar (top edge of the screen) and navigation bar (bottom edge of the screen). Therefore, Touch Protector will close the notification bar and navigation bar as soon as they are displayed to reduce accidental operation.

Ratings and reviews

UPDATE: Thanks Devs! Found it. Upgrading my rating to 5-star. (Sorry for the delay, I forgot.) Been using on a GS6 for quite a while, liked it a lot, especially the feature where I could create a LOCK icon, which I put in the group at the bottom so I could always see it. Bought a new Moto Z Play, installed the latest version, and I cannot find that feature anywhere! WHAT HAPPENED TO IT! Please tell me it's still there and I just can't find it - PLEASE! I loved that feature and I want it back!

Great for enjoying videos without accidental actions. edit: After months of enjoyment it would initially fail to unlock on any of the methods that were set up. Finally it would unlock but it seems to big an issue for my comfort. Also for whatever reason it would seem to randomly lock the screen. It just doesn't work for me anymore, maybe a wonky update is causing issues.

I love the app. It would be 5 stars if one thing were to happen. The situation in question is that I want the in-call screen to touch-lock even when the phone itself is locked (lock screen is on). Right now, with 'proximity covered locking' enabled and 'unlocking on phone calls' disabled, the touch-lock is triggered only when the phone screen is unlocked. I need it to trigger whether the phone is locked or not.
