After trying various pop sockets and positions I don’t like them. They hurt my hands and fingers. I’ve seen these Strapsickle things that go over the corners of the kindle. Are these annoying at all?

When I say I love my kindle, I’m speaking figuratively, ok?

Woah. I think you have the wrong word there but do you mean one of these?

I just got a kindle and decided to go with strapsicle. They’re actually pretty comfortable and doesn’t annoy me. 😊 Popsockets are not for me, hurts my hands too.

OMG! My title 😂 that’s what you get with 4 hours sleep and not the usual 2 pints of tea in the morning 🙈

I meant the strap things that go on and you hold that way. They also do a strap on one that goes over the corner. I think they’re called strapsickles or something like that.

You should be an author with that type of attention grabbing text.

You definitely woke everyone up with that title 😂

I use Strapsicles and love them! They’re much more comfortable for me and I can easily switch hands when reading. The removability is a huge plus, but they stay on well while in use.

I use two on mine. Super comfortable. I hated them diagonal and like to switch hands so this is the solution I came up with.

As a federal employee who has had a rough couple of weeks, this is the hardest I have laughed in a while, so thank you for that!

If you decide to get a strap, er, thingy let me know if you find a good one. The arthritis in my hands has been flaring a lot lately.
