When holding your phone in Landscape, flip open the kickstand. Now, with your right hand, grasp the phone with your pointer finger above the kickstand and the rest of your fingers below the kickstand, so that you middle finger is almost touching the the camera lens. This works great for watching videos or browsing the web. It kind of makes you feel like you have a better grip on the phone.

Just remember...Something that is obvious to some, may not be to others!!

You know, I honestly thought this thread was gonna head south really fast and that warchild would have to shut it down(seems like he been busy over the weekend closing threads,LOL) anyway I have been holding my phone this exact way since I saw my girl holding it that way with her little hands and it is in fact very comfortable with very little to no stress on your fingers or wrist but giving thanks to you anyway.

I figured this out as well but thanks for sharing OP. It really does work as your hand naturally curls that way in a resting positon. Thanks hit for spreading wisdom OP.

I use the Vanilla Ice: Hold phone between index and pinky fingers with the middle and ring fingers extended. You old farts who went through the Vanilla Ice phase know what I'm talking about.

Like this.

Not as comfy as cmdauria's tip but works if you don't want to deal with popping the kickstand out.

Thanks for sharing!

Now if we really could get it to build and island, transform in to a plane and f--king fly you there...
