With Winter just around the corner many people who have just purchased the new iPhone 4 or any touchscreen phone will not be able to use their phones when wearing gloves.

Normal gloves make the touchscreens on iPhones and other models completely unresponsive. To help solve this problem a new type of gloves have been created with pads on the fore finger and thumbs that work with most touchscreens. The pads are made of conductive fabric so when your presses are transmitted to the phone’s screen.

Having padded fingers will stop you playing games and selecting small small bits of text but the Echo Touch Gloves work great for using your iPhone normally.

The Echo Touch Gloves can be bought in the UK from John Lewis stores priced at £25 for a pair.
