There is also a conducting thread that you can use to make any gloves touchscreen compatible. I tried it and while it works, it's just not the same as going bareskin.

Default G back to the 1800's!

Charles Dickens has your solution. Finger gloves. Just cut the tips off your favorite gloves and wa-la. Done. Or have granny knit you a proper pair of finger gloves.

Now if you gotta have nomex gloves when you fly (which suck for warmth) then youre SOL.

Google "fingerless gloves with flap". I bought a couple of pairs at Kohls that I like really well.

Default They work!

The touch-screen gloves arrived in the mail and they actually work on my iPad, just like Vlad wrote. I have large hands, too, but the smallish looking gloves are stretchy and actually fit. Thanks for all the comments, guys.
