Flippy I'd actually like it better if I would be able to control the volume when the phone is closed. If I walk into shul, I don't want to have to flip it open to turn off the ringer. I don't think the concern about accidentally pressing the volume buttons during ×©×ž× ×” עשרה is valid. I keep a ton of stuff in my pocket (mostly phones), and it doesn't happen. (I'm talking from experience of my old phone which had that feature and never went off.) Again, just an opinion.
