A thumb or finger attachment which can provide for easier typing on keyboards
of portable hand
held devices. The thumb or finger attachment has a body portion, which
consists of an integrally
connected bottom portion and arcuate portion formed above the bottom portion.

is configured to extend at least partially around the thumb or finger of a
wearer when coupled thereto
so as to substantially enclose the thumb or finger of the wearer within the
arcuate portion. The
bottom portion extends generally perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the
thumb or finger and
terminates in a substantially narrow end for engaging the keyboard of a
handheld portable device.
