    I would argue that what you actually need are bigger pockets, but since pants manufacturers REFUSE TO GIVE THEM TO WOMEN, I see where you’re coming from.

      Bigger pockets should be the norm, 100%, but it only solves half the problem.

      Hand size is a big thing too. I’d take a smaller screen if it fit my hand better. I don’t want a pop socket, I don’t want to to have to use two hands, and I don’t want to drop my phone.

      I have fairly average man sized hands and I’m not clumsy. I probably dropped my Galaxy S4/5 about 1-2 times per year. When I got a bigger phone, it became a couple times a month, and it’s uncomfortable. Currently, because I don’t want the bulk of a pop socket, but want the one hand grip benefits, I cut two slits in my case and added a loop of kite repair tape that, when I need, I slide a finger though.

      I shouldn’t need to do that because my phone is so big I cat reach the whole screen without 2 hands.

      Doesn’t solve the small hands ergonomics aspect, but yeah, bigger pockets would be nice. I’ll take whichever quality of life improvements I can get, though.

        Do flip phones solve that? It’s just as big when open, the flip part is just so it fits nicer in your pocket.

          Yeah that lost me too. Many standard phones have a much smaller footprint than the flip phones once they’re open, and imo a hinged portion that moves when pressure is applied makes it easier to drop, not more difficult. Like with where my fingers are on the back of my phone now, if I move them I could push the top portion closed if it were a flip phone.
