A finger grip is attachable to a handheld device for assisting a user in operating the handheld device. The finger grip includes one or more finger slots, where each finger slot includes an edge and is configured to accommodate one or more lower fingers of a hand of a user, and where the edge is configured to provide a rest to the lower finger accommodated by the respective finger slot. The finger grip further includes a back for attaching the finger grip to a back of the handheld device, allowing a thumb of the hand to have a reach on a range of the front of the handheld device when the lower fingers are accommodated by the finger slots in a position. The finger grip may further include a raised area configured for providing support to the hand.
