Apparently these ‘Dots Gloves’ have been around for awhile… But I just had a note in my inbox alerting me to them, thanks to my post on the iGlove patent that Apple ran awhile back (the gloves look strikingly similar to the patent diagrams!?). That said… I want these gloves!
There’s nothing worse (for me anyway) than having to take off your winter gloves (especially when it’s -30 outside, -40 with windchill) to answer a phone or reply to an email. It happens quite often to me, and to tell you the truth… A lot of the time I let the call or email go unanswered for a bit. If you felt the bitter cold temperatures we get up here, you’d understand!
There is thankfully a product on the market called ‘Dots’. These life-savers/gloves allow you to continue using your iPhone or most other touchscreen devices with your gloves ON. Woohoo! The official pre-amble from DotsGloves.com:
Warm hands and smudge-free touchscreens. Dots gloves enable winter usage of Apple’s iPhone without direct finger contact.
Just what I need! I am curious though to see how effective they really are. I want to order a pair right now, but unfortunately both styles that they offer are currently sold out. There’s a knit version for $15, and a wool version for $20. If you’d like to know when they become available, there’s an email notification signup right here that you can use. Good of them to offer that… I suppose it’s the least they can do!
If anyone out there already owns a pair, I’d love to hear about your experiences with them. Until I can get my hands on a pair, I’ll simply sign up for email notifications… and wait.
