Accidently Hitting Power Button While Texting

[bugsysiegals]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this but I thought I'd create a post to see if anyone knows of a fix for this.

The only real gripe I have with the HTC Pro is the location of the power button. It should be on the top right instead of the top left.

When I slide the keyboard open and hold the phone for texting, my left pointer finger sometimes rubs the power button which causes the screen to either turn off or if held down prompts me to turn off the device. This is extremely annoying and I'd like to disable it during texting if possible.

Does anybody have a fix for this other than just trying to keep my finger from hitting it??
