Phone fingers keep iPhone from being smudged

200710180950
Our Phone Fingers are made for iPhone's touch screen to prevent smudges and fingerprints. With the Phone Fingers you won't have to clean your touch screen all the time and it's an eye catcher too.
I hope this is a joke. Link

Yeah, it's a joke. Those are just static-dissipative finger cots for use in electronics assembly. They're black because the latex they're made of has some carbon mixed in for conductivity.

See www.labsafety.com

$33 for a bag of 720 of them, much better than $9.95 for 25. (Of course, it would still be very silly to use these on an iPhone, but maybe you have some static-sensitive electronics assembly to do.)
What we need more of is science.

for anyone with the iPhone or the iPod touch, my friend got a screen protector with a bit of a lenticular texture to it. It keeps people from side angles from snooping on your screen and you don't get smudges or fingerprints.

she said she got it at the apple store.

That is silly, but smudgy iPhone screens are a growing menace.

I slapped on one of those anti-glare screen protectors they sling at the Apple Store, can't recall the brand. Power something or other.

I'm not worried about scratching the screen, or preventing glare, but I am keen on keeping face and finger sludge off my precious. I've cut my sleeve wipes dramatically — down to maybe once a day.

I'm waiting for the rubber hooded visor designed to optimize viewing of color gradients on my iPhone in outdoor lighting situations. I think this will go nicely with my leather whip-cord iPhone hip strap...

watch the video, girl uses them with an iPhone, starts to make a call, then some guy runs by and rips the iPhone away from her and runs away. The last third of the video is chasing the thief.

wtf?

yeah its a joke, why else would there be Google ads carefully blended in with the links?

first of all i hate the i phone! an expensive piece of crap that can be easily hacked into. Furthermore i hate the new i phone commercials god forbid you must carry around a phone and an ipod with your computor god forbid your piece of electronic cannot do 10 things at once. so screw you apple and i phone you will look like the biggest douche in the world with your rubber finger tip people will laugh and point at you not only because you lost hundreds of dollars but also because you are so anal that you must wear a piece of rubber on your finger!

The black rubber makes them look extra classy... all I can think of is iDominatrix.

they should make a brown one with glowing red finger tips. "ET iPhone home..."

Yeah -- what megs said. iPhones are the SUVs of the early 21st century -- overpriced gimmicks that do a number of different things half-assedly, but don't do any one thing superlatively. There have been smart phones in Japan that can do anything an iPhone can do today, for at least the past 3 years, and you could use them with any phone service provider. And an exposed touch-screen and easily-damaged finish = black paint on Range Rover. Apple Service is going to clean up on fixing the stupid things.

It's not a joke, though it clearly needs improvement. Apple products are perfect in every way. If you have difficulty with them, it is you that must adjust, because clearly there's something wrong with you.

Fortunately, Apple will soon release the iFinger, the optimal tool to use with your iPhone and iTouch iPod. By measuring the electrical resistance of your finger (much like a polygraph), it enables your portable Apple product to choose just the right song for your mood.

I'm going to patent a stylus that allows you to write on the iPhone without smudging it up!

um, Meg & bricology... have you ever even USED an iPhone? speaking as someone who owns and uses one, both of your posts make zero sense to me. i carry my phone in my pocket, and have since june, and it has absolutely NO scratches on it anywhere. it's called device convergence, and it's a beautiful thing. the less i have to carry, the better, imo.

Franko -- Yes, I played with a friend's iPhone for a few minutes; long enough to realize that inputting text was a bad joke. You should see people using their smart phones in Japan -- they can input text many times faster than any iPhone could dream of. AND they can surf the web, listen to and watch audio and video, and pretty much everything else an iPhone can do. And their screens are generally hidden away, they've got real buttons and they can use any phone carrier they want.

You've carried an iPhone in your pocket for what -- 4 months now -- and you're touting its durability?! Pardon me if I'm not too impressed. Google "iphone+screen+damage OR broke OR crack", and notice that you'll get 645,000 hits. Apple charges $250 to replace that glass screen.

"It's called device convergence, and it's a beautiful thing." Yeah -- exactly the same thing claimed of SUVs. You get a convergence of a sportscar, a sedan and an off-road vehicle, with a little of each of their virtues, but without any of the superlative qualities of any of those individual vehicles. I can't wait for Apple to release the iPocketProtector, which combines the "pen organizing system" of a traditional pocket protector, plus a MicroBib and a kinetic-energy-powered lint retrieval vacuum. Revolutionary! Such a space-saver!

Here's just one example of the compomise that is the pocket iSUV: the battery (not easily replaceable) will last for what -- 6 or 7 hours of video or internet use? -- then your phone is dead. Brilliant! In the interest of making the shape all sleek and shit, they've precluded hot-swapping battery packs, which means that when you've used the iPhone for doing what you want for a few hours, it's as useful as a brick.

well, i pound away quite quickly on my iphone, and it's because i spent more than a "few minutes" letting the software get used to how i type. now, i am quick enough to do what i have to do. i don't really care about how fast some kid in japan types.

i've carried my iphone in my pocket as long as they've been on the market, since i purchased mine on day 1 -- there's very few people in the world who can say they have carried it for longer. most of the damage claims i have seen online and other places are due to circumstances NO phone should be expected to survive (crunched in the mechanics of a recliner, run over, etc.), and most were just people being careless. if you don't treat your expensive piece of technology right, you deserve to pay to fix it.

as for the battery, it's rechargeable. in all the hours of use i've had with it, with movies, online and offline use, and using the phone itself, i've never had a problem with the battery life.

ok, i'm done.

Looks like a sex toy to me. Which probably says more about me than the product, but still.

Cleaning my iPhone screen has become a fantastic outlet for my OCD tendencies. Why would I want anything that would keep it from getting all smudgy :P
