iPrints to allow gloved touchscreen use

And prevent frostbite.

As many will be aware, most attempts to use a touchscreen with gloves on will fail and with 700 million touchscreen phones to ship in 2016, that's a lot of naked mitts in use.

Prior to the development of iPrints, costly special touchscreen compatible gloves were required but iPrints have been designed to prevent that problem and fill the market gap.

iPrints are adhesive strips that attach directly to the glove finger allowing the wearer to operate touchscreen devices as they would do without wearing gloves.

Phil Mundy, inventor of iPrints, said: "I used to find it really annoying when I wore gloves and had to keep taking them off to use my smartphone.

"I searched around for an answer to use a touchscreen without taking my gloves off, but only found expensive, touchscreen-friendly gloves. I wanted a cost-effective alternative that allowed me to use my smartphone while still wearing whichever gloves I wanted.”
