    Cydia's lockdown app allows you to choose which apps you would like to lock

    iProtect is by far the best I've used. Every time a friend or my nephew uses it, i enable without a need to respring and BAM! access denied baby!

    hiding apps != locking them and makes it more difficult for me to get to them too.

    and ive heard scary things about lockdown

    Lockdown works great. I alwasys disable the password lock on an app before deleting the app. That could possibly cause a problem. I think Lockdown would be the best bet; it's free.
