tablet Grip and interaction

Four most common grips: While there are many ways to hold a tablet, these four grips are most commonly used.

Grip	Grip and interaction	Design considerations
	One hand holding, one hand interacting with light to medium interaction	Right or bottom edges offer quick interaction. Lower right corner might be occluded by hand and wrist. Limited reaching makes touching more accurate. Reading, browsing, email, and light typing.
	Two hands holding, thumbs interacting with light to medium interaction	Lower left and right corners offer quick interaction. Anchored thumbs increase touching accuracy. Anything in the middle of the screen is difficult to reach. Touching middle of screen requires changing posture. Reading, browsing, light typing, gaming.
	Device rests on table or legs, two hands interacting with light to heavy interaction	Bottom of the screen offers quick interaction. Lower corners might be occluded by hands and wrists. Reduced need for reaching makes touching more accurate. Reading, browsing, email, heavy typing.
	Device rests on table or stand, with or without interaction	Bottom of screen offers quick interaction. Touching top of the screen occludes content. Touching top of screen might knock a docked device off balance. Interaction at a distance reduces readability and accuracy. Increase target size to improve readability and precision. Watching a movie, listening to music.
