Thanks, Arnold.
We definitely recommend using a case for your phone with BrailleTouch.
It will help you grip the phone. Please make sure you find a comfortable
way of gripping the phone that works for you. And please be careful with
your phone. While it is possible to stand or walk while typing with
BrailleTouch, it may not be a good idea. Many people have tried it while
sitting and holding the phone over a table or over their lap.
Best,
Caleb

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.
