Hi Charles, I'd hold that wire with no gloves at all if the amperage were really really really low! *snark* Sorry, just had to!

It exists for a reason. Use it as directed and you probably won't have a problem. I would not stick my hand into a 500 degree oven when wearing mitts that claim that they will protect your hand up to 500 degrees merely to see if their claim is valid. Doing so is just! plain! stupid!! But knowing that I can do so gives a bit of assurance, and I won't fear doing so. If you were to wear a glove that claimed that it can protect you from a 100,000 volt charge of electricity, would you honestly, purposely, grab onto a wire carrying 100,000 volts just to see if their claim is correct?? If you do so, you just might get what you were stupid enough to ask for. But as for cell phone cases, the better the protection, the better. --- Be positive!
