#idk what this means or if i do this but ig i'll just hold my phone with my pinky stuck out from now on??
Good question, also no that won’t help.
shitty MS Paint 3 minutes doodle, nto entirely accurate: When you have your pinky hooked on the “bottom” edge of the phone for the extra security so it doesn’t slide out of your hand that easily, you’re wreaking damage on your hand, since the pinky is extremely askew from it’s resting position. You might have noticed that when you hold your phone like that for long time it begins to hurt, like when you are gripping a pen too tightly for example.
Green lines - the fingers are going their natural way. Red line - the pinky is way off, that’s bad.
Me: Oh, good thing I never-
Me, looking down at hand: By talos this can't be happening
oh thats why my hadns have started to always be in pain ok
Reminder that large phones are never better for hand health (I get they're sometimes necessary for eye health) and that none of these were designed for smaller handed people (because cis men made them for themselves!), which includes a whole bunch of folks, but especially kids, who are getting wrist issues super early because of this.
Adding some kind of holder on the back of your phone/phone case will help a lot.
I use a pop socket, but there are plenty of other options that'll fit your hand, your phone and your style. Can recommend.
