Practicing before I actually get it, I find that typing on it is secure
enough while standing. I am supporting it with my pinky fingers along the
bottom edge, and my thumbs along the top edge, the one with the volume
buttons. I think this ability to type while standing is precisely why they
designed it this way. If they had arranged the dots along one of the long
edges, that would have been the potential disaster. My IPhone 5 is in the
outer box defender case, which will help if I am wrong and drop it in the
future. It may very well be harder to type on a phone with no case at all
while standing.

HI,
after reading the FAQ, and as I understand, doesn't this BlindTouch seem
like an accident prone way of typing? If you're standing,
and if you hold the IPhone or IPod touch in the horizontal manner as
suggested, typing with fingers at the top of the device or
typing with fingers at the bottom of the device, the IPhone or IPod will
be held with a very loose grip. This is especially true for
characters that use upper and lower characters such as S and T. In other
words, this does not seem like a very safe manner of data
entry on an IPod or IPhone. For those who own these devices, just simulate
holding the device sideways and try typing each character
of the word "nuts" as in walnuts. This is not a problem if one is sitting,
but if one is standing up right in a line, you'd better
hope there is carpeting under you.
