Review on ๐Ÿงค GloveTacts: Ultra Thin Conductive Touch Screen Stickers for Maximum Glove Functionality by Mark Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Significantly improved version of a useful product.

I have used two previous versions of GloveTacts and this version is the best. The V1 didn't last very long and in my experience didn't work very well. The V2 worked a little better and lasted a little longer. This current version (v3) seems stronger, thinner and much better/natural to use with the touchscreens on my iPhone (with tempered glass) and iPad (with cheap plastic screen protector). I emailed the owner/developer of GloveTacts - mostly when v2 came out - and he explained that they went for a thinner film/material to make it more form-fitting and responsive to the skin at the expense of some durability to make screen. The V1 I found fell off almost immediately. The V2 lasted longer but cracked shortly after installation and parts started falling off (although I have a small piece left on the thumb of my most commonly used pair of gloves and it still works). I put v3 stickers on my summer gloves last month and used them on my commute and during a very hot/sweaty 2 week trip through MT, ID, OR and WA in late June (when PNW was setting heat records everywhere). ) - they seem to hold up very well and work almost as well without gloves. I wouldn't hesitate to pay ten bucks for a pack of these even if they only lasted one season - but I think this version will last a long time. even longer :)

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Everything is fine
