How do stop my screen from coming on in my pocket?

Question

When I put my Samsung Galaxy S4 in my pocket or my wife puts hers in her purse the display keeps lighting up because the buttons are apparently getting pushed. This is running our batteries down when we aren't even using the phones. Is there a way to stop the screen from lighting?

Make sure that you don't press the home button or power button when you put the phone away. You can reduce the screen time out time down to 15 seconds thereby reducing the battery usage to that short time period. Also make sure that your phone sleeve is not pressing against those two wake up buttons.
