I got these touch screen gloves for Christmas this year! This style seems to work better for me than the metallic thread ones, but the tips of my fingers do get cold after a while.
But! I can use my phone without the rest of my hands getting freezing and any more dried out than they already are. Cold weather is so harsh on my skin.
The rest of my outfit is pretty boring, although the coat’s new. Lined with Thinsulate so it’s really warm, but I got it in petite and that might have been a mistake. I think the shoulders have to be let out. I’m wearing the old scarf from Talbots again, J.Crew coat, Joe’s Jeans… jeans, MIA ankle boots, and Coach sunglasses and bag.
those gloves are ingenious! I always thought fingerless gloves would do the trick, but my fingers are still cold!
i’ve got a serious weakness for j.crew coats..you’ve got such a great outerwear collection!
i want this whole outfit–down to the rad gloves.
ohhh I love the raised design on the iphone case, that is such a pretty one!!
I think I need to buy some of that special thread and try to DIY some iphone gloves. because really, why would I only want to wear one pair of gloves all winter?
I really want leather touch screen gloves, but I can’t find any :( I love this case, but it’s already cracked. The warranty is two years, so hopefully SwitchEasy will replace it. It’s a hard polycarbonate case, which is supposed to be better than the soft ones, but at about a month old this has definitely been my shortest lived case.
Oh boo. they’d better replace it!
So I was going to follow this DIY http://www.cultofmac.com/8064/sew-a-needle-pulling-condutive-thread-for-easy-diy-ipod-gloves/ and get the thread off ebay – like $5 for what you’d need for a pair of gloves – and then you can just get ANY fabulous leather glove and make them work for the iphone.
Because for some reason all the iphone gloves I’ve been seeing are just the fabric kind, or the ‘magic’ glove kind. (though the fact that the magic gloves have such a tight fit actually make them work much better than my pricer echotouch ones. I have really short fingers.)
Oh I’ve seen this DIY before! I’m really tempted to do it. I’m always wishing for more fingers to be usable on the screen, I don’t only use my thumb and first. Usually second and third as well.
I’m probably just a weirdo though.
I always use my middle and index to zoom. it’s super annoying only having two fingers!
Those gloves are awesome! I need to get some of those ASAP.
Yeah, they’re pretty useful! I wish they were leather though, then they would be absolutely perfect.
