How Do You Grip a Smooth, Thin Kindle Fire HDX?

We were immediately excited by this revelation! The back of the Kindle Fire with the Poetic GraphGrip soft rubber case.

Two-handed operation was a piece of cake but one-handed was a bit dangerous. This 8.9" tablet is a bit wide for even my rather large hands to securely hold the opposing edges in one hand.

Then again, I do have larger-than-average hands. I still felt I should protect my new tab
