Digits Help You Work Your Touchscreens In The Cold [Gloves With Conductive-Tipped Fingertips Let You Work Your iPhone, iPod or iPad Touchscreen And Keep Your Hands Warm]

Tweet

Well folks, with the end of Christmas and New Year’s being but hours away (like a hundred of them or so), it’s clear that, in the northern hemisphere anyway, we are neck deep in winter. And winter means covered everything, so you’ll probably be wondering how you’re going to work the screen on that new iPod, iPhone, iPad, or touchscreen smartphone you got for Christmas. Well, worry not, because I’m going to clue you in on one such method–Digits.

Digits are a set of four conductive pins that attach to the fingertips of any set of gloves–one set of two for each hand that will let you use your touchscreen as normal (point, click, and of course, pinch and stretch where applicable) with either hand thanks to the two pads on your index and middle finger.

The key distinction here is that, while a lot of similar products already exist that let you use their gloves along with their particular modification, Digits will go on any set of gloves, because they’re basically just pins that you drive through the finger of the glove and then cap before you put your hand in there (unless, of course, you like getting stabbed with a pin point every time you put on a pair of gloves, and even then I’d still recommend the caps so that the pins don’t fall out).

A set of four Digits only costs $14, and it’s a great idea if you live in colder areas but still want to use your touchscreen hardware regardless of outdoor weather conditions. Even if you’re more of a casual user you’ll likely still find some value, as it’s not like these will wear out any time soon and are transferable to other gloves. I’m sure a lot of folks out in that recent East Coast blizzard would have loved to have a set of these.
