Hi, I have a question about my new 5s phone. Is there any setting you can use that will allow you to put the phone in sleep mode other than using the top sleep switch? I have purchased a Tech21 case which I absolutely love, but the top switch is very difficult to press and I would like to be able to put the phone in sleep mode by using the screen or tapping the home switch more than two times. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)

Sorry, I have found the answer to my question.
