[Electronics-talk] Tactile screen protector

[Chip Orange]

Hi Tracy,

I too thought about getting one, but my wife (who is sighted, and who wants to share my phone for now) did some research into the opinions of others who can see, and tried herself to examine the effect based on web posts and pictures, concluded that these tactile overlays create a significant distortion of the image for sighted users.  Wanted to pass this along in case it applied to you.

I can't say how much they may help you, but I've only had my phone for a little more than a month, and I don't feel like I need any aid in locating any icon.

I have the tactile screen protector from Speeddots.com for my iPod Touch,
and I like it.  I picked the more "advanced" option, which has fewer marker
dots.  I found the dots useful to orient myself, especially at first.  I
don't have one for my iPhone, but I think about getting one.
