You put the finger on it.

Even the cover is sometimes inconvenient.  I wish I could press the
power button and get the screen to blank immediatelly.  That's what the
Palms used to do.

Power + lock screen doesn't do what I want -- it dims the screen but
doesn't blank it.

where objects in the database were proxied rather than deriving from a
common base class.
