Yes, I am typing on a device without a case and this does not at all seen safe nor seem especially graceful to type in this manner as I'm thinking this may look strange to others. Holding and typing with palms on top and fingertips facing away and on screen seems a bit more natural, but the device feels as though its ready to fall out of my grasp. Typing with palms under the device seems like I'm typing backwards as my left pinky finger will be Dot1 when in actuality, typing with a Perkins Brailler it would not be used at all. I'll just have to wait until this app is released before speculating any further. (Smile).

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.
