Tips for adjusting to a larger phone?

The biggest thing I am still getting used to with this phone is its size, which isn't even that big compared to most modern phones. However my previous phone was only 4 inches, so it is still a pretty big change. Luckily, I haven't decent-sized hands, I imagine most women have trouble using this phone one-handed.

I often find myself reaching a bit to hit the back button and I have noticed my swyping has gotten less accurate.

Two things I have found so far that can help:

-Swype has an option that lets you choose mini right or mini left, giving you a small keyboard on one side of the screen. Not sure if I like it though, it might be too small.

-In the settings for the phone app, there is an option for one-handed dialing that I really like. It shrinks the keypad to one side of the screen for easier dialing.

Any other tips or suggestions for improving one-handed use on a larger phone?
