It seems to me that the minimum distance required of dragging the unlock ring up is too small. With a fairly easily pressed wake button, and a sensitive touch screen, it can pocket unlock. It would be really nice to be able to customize that drag distance. Any thoughts besides forcing a full lock immediately?
Help Unlock screen too easy?

I believe there is a built in option that detects whether your phone is in your pocket, so that's not a serious worry.
***Nevermind. I just checked and that option only pertains to the volume of the ringer.

I've never had it happen but I do see that the distance required to unlock is very, very short. I could see how that would be a problem. Might not help any but I carry my phone screen facing my thigh. Maybe a change in how you carry it might help if you haven't already tried it. Sorry, only thing I can think of.
As far as mistakenly answering calls & in case you don't wanna root, you can try a different dialer. I have Rocket Dial, cost $5 but they offer a free 5 day trial, very very customizable, interface could be better & I'm sure there are a bunch of dailers out there for less. Reason I suggest this one is because it gives you the option to swipe left or right to answer or decline a call don't know if others do but I'm sure I'm not the only one with a custom dialer so chime in people!!! Only problem is contact pics are very crappy as you can see below & that's a small pic.
Or use widget locker from the market. 2 bucks I think. Has all sorts of locking types and is super customizable
I only had that problem once, and that occurred when I was mowing the lawn. I had some earbuds in (mowing is rather monotonous) and I realized the same song had played three times. I apparently unlocked it in my pocket and set it to repeat. I found the best way to remedy this is to either flip the phone around so the cameras are facing your body, and not the screen, and/or buy a case. Even a cheap TPU case (like the one I use) keeps the distance just far enough away to put a damper on your ability to pocket unlock.
I used Widget Locker on my EVO 4G with good results. I use the Sense lock screen on my EVO 3D.
I haven't had any problems with unlocking my EVO 3D unintentionally. Yet, anyway.

I understand your concern. I have had unintentional calls being made, and phone calls being answered by just taking the phone out of pocket. This can be so annoying at times.
