do you know how to do this? i searched the userguide and found no relevant instructions. i'm using a semi-hard pearl case for my 9900 that one of out IT guys gave me because (1) it works, and (2) it doesn't launch multiple pocket calls like the much softer (and pretty expensive) holster i regret having purchased specifically for my 9900.

i am not sure if the pearl holster i'm using has any magnet in it (seems doubtful). i like the idea of putting my 9900 to sleep when i holster it but i'm just not sure how

sorry if this is a dumb question! thx
You don't have to do anything. The holster has a magnet in it (in the flap) that automatically puts the phone into sleep mode when it's holstered. Will definitely help with battery life. I use it all the time on my 9700.
