"Left handed death-grip"? Ah those damn left-handed idiots, always screwing stuff up for everybody else. ;)

I don't understand why people keep suggesting this hits primarily lefties.

I'm right-handed and I pretty much always hold my phone in my left as that leaves my dominant hand for doing anything useful: navigating apps, mousing, one-hand typing, fumbling through pockets, opening doors, etc. Why tie up my dominant hand just to hold something?

[sliverstorm]

Because it allows them to both point fingers somewhere else (damn you lefties, you complicated things) and downplay the issue- i.e. pretend that because it only affects 7% of the population, it doesn't matter.

I am left handed btw.

Exactly. It's revealing of how much actual thought vs. frothy rage there has been around this problem.

Bingo. I in fact asked my left-handed father yesterday when we had lunch to show me how he holds his phone and it's in his right hand.
