I love my new phone (Samsung Captivate), but the exposed touchpad buttons at the bottom are a design nightmare! I am constantly exiting apps by accident and my little girl is incapable of watching videos or playing games for more than a few minutes at a time before her tiny fingers kill her favorite cartoons! Google is loaded with complaints about this, yet there is no cover on the market that even attempts to deal with the problem. A thin layer of Sugru with some strategically-placed holes makes it easy to use the buttons intentionally yet nearly impossible to make sufficient contact by accident. Hooray!!

Not the prettiest hack, but it was my first attempt!
