I have been using the iPad since the original iPad. Back then iPad was more bulky and I hold it with both hands most of the time. I remember there was this Grabbit iPad Case back then allowing me to simply hold the iPad single handed, by slipping my hand into some kind of handle.
These days, the iPad is very slim and light. Even large size iPad Pro can be hold with a single hand, but just be careful not to drop it on your head or teeth while using it laying down (!).
WAYS TO HOLD YOUR IPAD
I found these are 7 most used stance I use when holding the iPad with a single hand:
 |
| 1. STRONG PINKY |
 |
| 2. UPSIDE DOWN SEVEN, good for laying down, but do not drop it on your head (!) |
 |
| 3. CONSERVATIVE |
 |
| 4. OCD |
 |
| 5. THUMB and PINKY |
 |
| 6. SIDEWAYS SEVEN, this is more stable landscape |
 |
| 7. SIDEWAYS CONSERVATIVE |
EXTRA TIPS:
- If you are placing the iPad on the table and without its case, I found Gorilla Pod is the best holder for it.
- You can certainly place it on lap or on flat floor
- You can also hold it using feet, but not the most comfortable, a bit advanced technique
