I guess everyone has seen these guys on youtube flipping their phone one handed. I don't see the point lol! I would either flip the phone out of my hand, or do myself an injury trying to flip it one handed! I prefer to just gently prise it open. How do you open yours?

Way too hard to do and I fear I'd either break it or fling the phone away a-la-WiiMote. So nope, no flippin' open for me.

I feel like, if I had one, I would gently open it with two hands. I'd *maybe* flip it shut with one hand if I knew there was no way I'd be able to hurt the phone or myself!

I see them doing this on commercials and YouTube videos. I believe eventually this would break the phone. I'll stick with the gentle method.

Gently.......2 handed operation.......or I risk flipping the phone right out of my hand sending it across the room.

I use 2 hands, i don't want to drop it trying to open it.
i use 2 hands to close it most of the time but occasionally I'll close it with one hand.

people definitely notice and ask if it's a flip.
