There are also the screen protectors from Speed Dots. These give you dots in 
strategic locations, like the 5 on the keypad or where a back button usually 
is. The dots can't move, and some apps' controls won't line up with them, but 
they can be a big help if you find you need more tactile landmarks than the 
smooth glass of a screen. The website is www.speeddots.com, and  believe 
www.atguys.com carries them as well.
