I might recommend using something like tape. Extra Strong Clear Tape.
You may also want to invest in a phone case; preferably an opaque and waterproof one that is difficult to remove.
There are apps available on F-Droid like PrivateLock which might help too; this will automate locking your phone if it's snatched from your hands suddenly.
Last thing I can say is to use a short screen timeout and a strong password to unlock the phone.
you really shouldn't be recommending things that adds attack vectors.
Do not use privatelock! It has the possibility to permanently lock your phone! For me it had a bug with the sensor and it was very hard to remove
Private Lock also hasn't been updated for four years :(
