    Bottom sucks though if you want to use the phone with headphones and set the bottom edge down on something (e.g. on your bed).

        Only if you lean your phone towards you instead of slightly away from you.

            I guess it depends on the type of headphone you are using. I could see your problem with those short wire earplugs with one wire to each ear where the wires are hanging between ears and phone. Not so much with the longer ones that only go to one ear and have generally thicker wires like an over-ear headset.

        Yeah, but you can always charge while you are sleeping or otherwise not using it but if you want to listen to stuff in an environment that requires headphones you have no choice but to have it plugged in at that time. Can’t exactly pre-play your music or audio book into your headphones at night.

            If you want to use it for other things at the same time, then yes, it can’t lay flat. I really don’t see how the concept is so difficult to understand.

              It seems like you’re reaching really hard for it to be an issue.

              Book stands hold phones very well.

              So do old cassette cases.

              I find my hand usually does a good job too, but sometimes I prop it between my knees.

              If you really want it to be an issue, I guess it could be, but you’d have to try really hard to be inconvenienced.
