Of course, none of that will actually prevent anyone from stealing your phone, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that whoever stole it probably won't be able to do anything with it.

If you talk about the pattern lock pass... its not fullproof aswell even password pass...

I had fun finding the different pass on my friends phones or collegues at work.
In the end of day, its even more easy.
yea greasy, sweaty hands on screen is bad lol.
Now they all clean their screens more often

Really? Nothing is completely foolproof I suppose, but at least the gesture lock is easier for the phone owner. Rather than taking a few seconds to enter a pin every time you want to unlock your phone (which probably deters a lot of people from locking them at all), it's just a quick swipe.

At the very least, it will stall the thief for a bit while I log on my computer, lock the phone remotely, and track him or her down with the GPS.
