Looking at email or passwords is rare. Reading some quick news, opening maps, listening to music and so forth - I don't want to use a pin to access all of those things.
Someone installing an app to catch pins that I typed in and then giving me back my phone...then waiting until I typed a pin and stealing my phone again seems like a bit of a hassle. Out of curiosity though - what app in the app store allows you to do this? Or, do they have to jail break my phone to do it?
I'm not really trying to argue that my way is better. I'm just giving my personal point of view. It works for me. I just don't worry about things and shit seems to work out. I leave my house unlocked all the time. Same with my car. I leave the keys in the car when I go into stores.
It's just stuff. Perhaps if someone stole everything from me, I'd be even more free than I am now.

Why would you have to steal it again?

They will most likely have to jailbreak it.

Yeah, sure, nobody ever said it happens often, it's for the time it happens that it save you so much trouble.
A friend got his credit card stolen recently, no big deal, I'm in Canada and the bank take all the blame in theses cases. It still was way too much trouble to get a new card because the guy changed his card information and the bank couldn't validate his identity.
It's not always about what you may lose, it's about what may happens to get back from it.

I don't believe you, but good for you if believe it yourself.
Considering that both your password and email are protected by pins, why not have a pin on the device too?
