[Electronics-talk] Tactile screen protector

[Christopher Chaltain]

I have the advanced tactile over lay from SpeedDots, and I'd be surprised
if it was noticeable by a sighted user. It only has 13 dots on it, and
they're mostly clustered around the sides. My wife and other sighted users
who've borrowed my phone never complained.

I have an iPhone 5 from my employer, without the tactile overlay, and even
though it isn't necessary, I do find it useful, and I do type a bit faster
on my 4S with the tactile overlay. I'd recommend it myself, but if you're
worried about sighted users not liking it then don't bother.
