I don't. My iPhone is alwais with me, I don't see any reasons to leave it somewhere, besides, what if I forget the password. you know, sometimes it happens.

The very first thing I did when I purchased mine was set up a password just because a close friend of mine had done the same. After a while it got annoying, especially when it locks and I'm using it in my car and I want to play a different song. Once, I was out having a drink and I was going to show a girl I was dating a picture and entered the password in front of her and she said " I saw your password." After that I just stopped using it. Always in my pocket anyway.

Not knowing it is a problem for anyone else but not a problem for you. First, you are not likely to forget an important four digit number. One does not forget one's new phone number.

However, if you should forget the number, connect to iTunes, restore to factory settings, and then restore from backup.

i lock mines every 4 hours. it works out great because it only locks when my iphone is NOT in use for 4 hours straight...the only time i really have to unlock it is when i go to sleep and wake up(if i sleep for more then 4 hrs lol) cause i am constantly on this phone

Default Travel Lock

I don't lock, but I'd consider locking if I traveling outside the US or to an area where theft might be more common. My phone stays on me all the time outside my home or private office.

I normally don't lock mine, but as the previous poster suggested, if I know I'm going to be some place a little suspect, I will put on a passcode. Otherwise, it rarely is more than an arm's length away.

I don't currently have it locked however I'm finding that as I put and more info on it, I'm probably going to move to that direction.

If I'm traveling however, it gets locked in case of being left/lost.
