I'm writing this from my iPhone so method names may be off, but it might be worth trying willChangeValueForKey and didChangeValueForKey from your validation code if you need to update the text field's value without changing focus.
Also, if I recall correctly, the docs state that you should never use resignFirstResponder directly. I know it's a temporary solution, but you should be aware of it.
