I have not noticed any of the above-mentioned problems about the unit not staying locked. I've only had it on for a day or so, but it seems to keep my touch pro locked even if I hit one of the phone buttons. The top bar does appear sometimes, but does not react to touch. The slide does appear somewhat choppy, and less than smooth, but works nevertheless. I'll keep checking it out. As for the ability to skin, IDK b/c IDK how to do that.
I too would like some of the notification icons as seen in the Pocket Shield and others.
Why this is not Freeware is beyond me, it seem rather elementary and "featureless."
