If you have an apple device, I believe you can lock the phone remotely via the “find my” app on another device or through Apple’s website. Not sure about Android.
I mean the only real solution here is to not use your phone in a situation where it could be stolen. Ear buds combined with Google or Siri or whatever can basically do almost everything you might “need” to do with a phone without ever removing it from a pocket, purse, what have you. Aside from that a phone can be remotely wiped easily enough. That combined with solid password security practices such as not saving your passwords, or simple pin numbers or pattern unlock will easily give you enough time to ensure your privacy remains intact and the only real loss is the cost of replacement.
Just curious, what situations are envisioning that a “theft proof” device is something that is absolutely necessary? Using complex passwords and such should be enough honestly. Insurance on phones is cheap and covers theft.
maybe get a lanyard to reduce the snatch risk.

Android has theft detection and auto locks and then allows you to remotely wipe it.
Does Apple not have this feature?
