Another Annoyance of Landscape Mode

The thing that always annoys me when using the iPhone in Landscape Mode, especially when I’m playing games, is that while attempting to hold the phone I inevitably cover the speaker. Because the iPhone only pumps sound out of one speaker, the sound is severely dampened almost to the point that you think something is wrong with your phone.

You can imagine how covering the speaker while trying to make music could potentially kill the experience. In addition to landscape mode being ergonomically difficult to hold, it’s compounded by its ease in accidently cover the speaker.
