Phone answers while in case in pocket

[Linc33]

Hi all, I searched and found similar posts, but they do not fit my scenario.

I have been using my T-Mobile TP2 for about 3 weeks. I use the stock case in my front pocket. When I get an incoming call, it seems the Send or End buttons are getting pushed while trying to retrieve the phone from pocket/case.

I see the slide to answer / slide to ignore call, which seems intended to prevent inadvertent touch screen touches to answer.

I'd like to disable all buttons on incoming calls except the built in slide to answer.

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for any help. This forum is a great resource and wealth of knowledge.
