Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?

a few other answers:
just use both hands, get an accessory, and/or balance on pinky and develop the toughest pinky imaginable
bonus:
find some smol phone you like and savor it for as long as it works
What do you consider a larger phone? I have an iPhone 14 Pro, it is slightly smaller (more just a different form factor) than my previous device, the Moto Z 4. I have a case, but have always had a case all the way back to my LG that was the size of an iPod. I do not use any other holding device.
If I do not feel comfortable holding and using it in the environment I am at I put it into my pocket for the time being. When we walk our dogs I usually never take it out because one of my dogs is notorious at yanking the leash if we stop for too long (my sister and I trade plant and other nature photos a lot). A lot of times we walk on a dirt path, I am more comfortable with it out there than I am when we walk the dogs in town and we are on an asphalt path.
That’s right on the edge of larger to me looking at the dimensions. It’s not super comfortable but not as bad as the Max might be imo. I can say that without having one as I currently have a phone around the same dimensions and it’s workable but I’d honestly like it somewhat smaller (both in length/width).
Tbh I feel like the iPod Touch (6th/7th gen I think) is right around the sweet spot in terms of dimensions for me personally, albeit I suspect those probably suck for folks with larger hands.
