Stay Warm AND Use Your iPhone: DOTS Gloves

Winter is coming and warm gloves are a must, but savvy iPhone users know that wearing gloves makes interacting with your iPhone impossible. Yes, the sleek multi-touch screen we've all come to love and know only responds to human touch.
So what's a girl (or boy) to do? Well thanks to DOTS gloves, you may no longer have to choose between accessing your iPhone or keeping warm.
The glove sports metal dots, placed on the cloth covering the fingertips, that replicates "capacitive touch” technology, mimicking the electron flow of human skin and making them touchscreen sensitive.
The discrete dots are located under the thumb, pointer, and index fingers and provide a smoothe curved surface for scratch free use.
These stylish and effective gloves come in knit cloth for $15, or upgrade to ragg wool for an extra $5.
Previous solutions to the iPhone-glove dilemma have been, not so great, to say the least.
DOTS gloves are available in an assortment of different colors like red, black, white and royal blue, so not only are they functional and affordable, but they're cute too.
