[Electronics-talk] Tactile screen protector

[Christopher Chaltain]

I asked my wife, and she said there's a lot less distortion with my 
tactile screen protector from SpeedDots then there is with her screen 
protector, which isn't tactile.

Like I said, I have an iphone with a tactile screen protector and one 
without. I find the tactile screen protector useful, it does make me a 
slightly faster typer, but not enough that it's worth annoying your 
sighted wife!
