I received the Flygrip for review. All thoughts are my own.
My son is always on his phone. I think the thing is permanently attached to his hand. And when it is, it can actually make it a bit hard for him to do anything else. He tries to pull, I can’t help carry this or that because I might drop my phone. ANd since he is always taking selfies, I know he is good at using that phone in goofy ways to take a picture of himself. I swear he is going to drop that phone one of these days.
I found a great product that lets using the phone easier. With the Flygrip, Anthony just slides his middle and ring finger through the grip. By doing sliding the fingers in, just passed the finger tips, it gives great control to hold the phone, and have the thumbs to operate the face.
The Flygrip also works as a stand for the phone. It is perfect for reading a book, or watching a movie on the phone. It gives you a hands free way to watch. And since the Flygrip is attached to the phone with a sticky tape that holds it tight, the stand is always with you.
FOr people who are concerned that with the grip on the back of their phone that it might not go into a pocket, the phone just slides into a front pocket with the grip facing out. With the Flygrip closed, it actually makes getting the phone out of the pocket even easier because it gives you something to grab onto. Another great feature is that the grip is not device specific. WHile there are cases available to buy, (I have one on the phone here) it is not needed to use a Flygrip. The grip stays on with a sticky layer on the back. And it can be changed from phone to phone. There are extra adhesives to reapply if needed.
A few tips. WHen applying the grip, make sure it is in the right position. Here is a video to help learn how to apply the Flygrip. Learn how to open and close Flygrip with one hand. ANd here is a biggie. Only use the finger tips. It is not meant for the whole finger. It makes it much more awkward to use this way and you lose all of the functionality.
The Flygrip is perfect for anyone who is always using their phone and would like to be able to do it with only one hand.

My phone is usually in my pocket since I don’t use it very much (it just makes calls). I can see how this would be very good to have.

That is an awesome idea!! It would actually be really great for me, as my fingers tend to get clumsy. I love how it props the phone up too! Very handy!

My daughter lost her phone in the pool last summer. If she had had this handy tool, we wouldn’t have suffered the terrible tragedy! Thanks for sharing this great tip!

Flygrip looks like an excelent idea for someone that’s glued to their phone. And I like how you can use it to prop up the phone and read books and watch movies. I’ll keep my eye out for the product. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like Flygrip is a great product.. I usually put it on the cellpholder and then talk and it becomes easy for me. I bought the Personalized cell phone holder from Wood Arts Universe.. Here is the link http://woodartsuniverse.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=407

This would be really handy for my son. He usually has his phone in one hand and iPod in the other.

I like the idea of having a stand. We are always using our phones (in airplane mode !) on the plane, so this would be a nice hands free option.
Kisa
I think that this would be awesome for me! Thanks for sharing about it, it would be great for when I am trying to do something on the phone while one handed.
