>A T Guys is pleased to offer much requested tactile screen protectors 
>for the iPhone, available from a new, reliable source.
>Place your preorder now and pick up your protector at the NFB national 
>convention. Note if you will not be attending convention, we plan to 
>begin shipping after July 15.
>Use coupon code Orlando when placing your order at 
><http://www.atguys.com>http://www.atguys.com.
>We are also still taking preorders for virtually anything else in our 
>catalog, including the iBill money identifier and BCScan bar code 
>scanner. To learn more, visit our website, or visit us at booth A-1 in 
>Orlando.

>Produced by Speed Dots, our custom screen overlays provide guidance and 
>facilitate navigation of touchscreen devices by placing a single dot 
>over each letter and control, making it easier than ever before for 
>blind and visually impaired individuals using the Voiceover 
>screenreader to both orient, as well as input text and access screen 
>controls quickly and efficiently. Our standard overlay contains a dot 
>on each letter and input control while our advanced overlay contains 
>similar markings on buttons and input controls, however only the 
>letters F and J on the virtual keyboard will contain raised dots.
>
>Why use a tactile screen protector?
>
>While it is true that a blind or visually impaired person does not 
>require tactile feedback to use a touchscreen with voiceover, We have 
>discovered that placing single Braille dots in a few key locations on 
>the screen can provide a noticeable increase in speed and productivity.
>If you are new to the touchscreen environment, or dislike the fact that 
>there are no physical buttons on your phone, , then the tactile screen 
>protector can offer both a practical, and affordable solution for you!
>How And Why?
>While apple has done a great job making its touch screens fully 
>accessible to blind and visually impaired users, , simply placing 
>raised dots on the surface of the screen in a few key locations can 
>help individuals input text and information accurately and confidently! 
>Apple, along with many third-party developers typically place buttons 
>in the same locations, which we are subsequently able to mark with a 
>small, raised Braille dot.
>These tiny dots can be easily felt,
>but in no way obstruct a sighted person's view of the screen as our 
>screen protectors are clear. This makes it easy for you to share your 
>phone with sighted friends, colleagues, family members, etc., without 
>interfering with the phone's operation Below is a list of the dots and 
>what they represent:
>Top Left: back/ cancel
>Top Right: ok /done
>Top Center: search/heading/Safari address bar Center of Screen: number 
>5 on the phone pad.
>Middle Right: send button for text messages Across the Bottom: 5 evenly 
>spaced dots representing soft key functions.
>Lower Left: Shift
>Lower right: Delete/Backspace
>Virtual Keyboard (Standard): Each letter is marked with a single dot, 
>with the exception of letters F and J, which are blank and contain no 
>dots. Many users like this layout, as frequently, the dots can be used 
>to represent other points of reference when the keyboard is not 
>enabled.
>Virtual Keyboard (Advanced): This configuration contains dots on the 
>letters F and J *ONLY*. Users also like this configuration because it 
>is less cluttered, yet still provides the ability to orient to the 
>center row of keys quickly while typing.
>Note: Both keyboard options are available. Please be sure to select the 
>correct product when placing your order.
>If you are new to the iPhone's layout, or have any questions about 
>either the Standard or Advanced tactile screen protectors, please 
>e-mail <mailto:support at atguys.com>support at atguys.com or call (269) 
>216-4798.
