For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories?

ALostInquirer@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 79 points –

Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?

::: spoiler a few other answers: just use both hands, get an accessory, and/or balance on pinky and develop the toughest pinky imaginable ::: spoiler bonus: find some smol phone you like and savor it for as long as it works :::

I thought popsockets were SO FUCKING STUPID......until I tried one.

I succumbed. I have tiny hands. Tiny, prematurely achy hands. The popsocket helps so much, and they send coupons occasionally for mounts.

Bonus: if your popsocket slides around on your mount, stick a rubber band on it or dunk it in plastidip, you're welcome lol

it's annoying in your pocket and when using wireless charging though

You got me on wireless charging (I have a spidgen case that pops right off if I need to use the backside of the phone, but I'm sure something like an OtterBox would be an UNBELIEVABLE pain in the ass), but they do make a popsocket that helps a little with pocket shenanigans.

It still catches some in girljeans but that's mostly because SMALL POCKETS SUCK. My note20 slides in just fine in the dudepants I have lol

idk, after a while I realised I shouldn't be fighting so hard to use my phone. I use my phone one handed a lot on public transit so it got to the point where I decided I should actually get a phone that fits my needs, instead of trying to work around the issues with my phone.

Got the smallest samsung flagship and I've been really happy with it.

Popsocket makes wireless chargers with holes in the center so you can still use them. Limiting, but functional.
