Hello, I will be happy to lend my experience as well. I purchased the iPhone in Septpember of 2011 but as I reside in Canada, I was unable to keep my current phone is it was sink or swim. I had no screen protector with raised dots, absolutely nothing but a book by Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau entitled "learning the iPhone" Though it was hard, very rewarding and I' glad I made the switch.
