Never. I have nothing to hide on my phone :)
But really, my phone is either
1. Always in my hand, in sight, or in my pocket.
2. I don't ever leave it alone or out of my pocket in a untrustworthy area
3. The only place i really leave it out of my sight is in my house/car.

I would not lock a phone but this is an iPhone. It is a mobile computing device with 32G of local storage. Of course I lock it.

Even though it doesnt leave my hand, I mean side, I lock it. But I use it for everything and have lots of info on it.

I've got a lock after 2 minutes. After a while putting in the code becomes second nature, when I use other people's phones without a passcode on it my thumb is hovering ready to type a code in automatically!

I have mine set to immediately. I wouldn't care, but I have a nosy nephew that likes to go through my pics and texts if I accidentally leave it laying around.

We enforce a 10 min lock out maximum on our phones, so the longest option we can use is 5 min :)

1. Always in my hand, in sight, or in my pocket.
2. I don't ever leave it alone or out of my pocket in a untrustworthy area
3. The only place i really leave it out of my sight is in my house/car.

I set mine to lock after 1 minute. Even though I always have the phone on me, I can be absent-minded at times. It was tedious at first, but now, it'd feel weird if I didn't type in my passcode, lol.

Mine locks in one minute and requires a passcode after 15. I always have my iPhone with me, but you never know.

It's always nice to have a lock code to keep unwanted people off my phone and in the case that it gets lost or stolen whoever takes it wont be able to use it without figuring out how to unlock it.

Used to use password lock but I stopped using it. Wanted to make sure my son could pick up and use my phone in an emergency. And my phone may as well be glued to me. If it werent for my little cherub I'd definitely use it.

Mine locks after 5 mins requiring a passcode. A 4 digit number takes about 1 second to punch in and being a police officer I would hate for my phone w/ sensitive contact information to get into the wrong hands.
