Abstract
When a user holds a mobile device that has a touch screen, his/her fingers and palm touch the back of the device. For this reason, we think that input accuracy can be improved by attaching textures on the back of the device. We selected ways to attach textures and then evaluated pointing accuracy with each texture. In the results, the texture attached to the center of the device achieved the best results of accuracy.
