Disable Power Button Samsung S8 Active

[Android Central Question]

I keep my phone in my pocket while working which involves a lot of physical movement. The power button invariably gets pressed at some point during the day causing all kinds of mischief. What is the best way to temporarily disable the power button or perhaps make it harder to unlock while in my pocket?

Do you use a case?

Maybe a hard case might help so button don't get pressed easy

So no app to disable button that youre aware of?

If you are using a screen lock, it should not be a issue.

Using a holster case would probably be your best bet. Keep the phone screen-in, and the case back will protect it - and your pocket won't be pushing any buttons.
