And if I don't feel like sliding fingers through, I can grab around it and it is nice thickness and soft.
The particular strap I am using is this one at Amazon. |
Interesting. Might be an option.
But I just grabbed it to see where I hold it and it would have to be almost to the edge to be useful for me. My hands are small, which is probably an additional issue with holding the O2 for long periods of time. I have to keep moving my hand to different positions along the edge. Bottom, middle, etc. I try to have some fingertip at that dip, but its not always possible. To be able to hold it my fingertips don't always reach that far as I have to grab it more with my palm to get a grip on it. Its hard to explain how I hold it. And I move and if I stick something on that is not movable, it will probably not be in the right place most of the time.
Its the having to hold a larger device up in the air from the edge. After a while the weight just gets to my wrists and hands. And I don't have a cover on it. I had to take it off because of the weight.
The smaller oasis even with a cover one, just fits more fully into the palm so the weight distribution is easier on the hands and/or wrist. Again, hard to explain.
I would love a O2, but in the size of the O1. The O1 with build in batter, no cover. That would be a dream for me. That way I have the edge to hold and its the perfect size. I have the Voyage, but its really hard to hold without cramping due to the very small bezels.
