Hi Peter. I did contact you off list regarding your question. We will be rolling out our tactile overlays for iPad some time around the start of conventions or thereabouts.

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi Amy, I think I would like to try the OtterBox Defender and would love it if you could send one of the screen overlays for that particular case. I just have two questions: 1. You said that the case has its own built-in screen protector. I looked online and they referred to it as a membrane that fits over the screen. I'm guessing that what that would mean is that, once you put on the SpeedDots overlay, you would, in effect, have two screen protectors. Does that affect screen sensitivity? 2. You said that your overlay doesn't peel off the OtterBox because you're not sliding your phone in and out of a shell. Instead, your phone stays in the shell all the time. I understand that, but how then does it fit into the belt clip/holster? I would imagine that the back of the phone would slide into the holster, with the screen facing out. Is that right? Thanks so much for answering my questions. I appreciate your time.

Hi Suzanne, Do you know what kind of case it is that you have? What name and who makes it? I can tell you that the screen protectors that we sell to fit over the OtterBox Defender cases, are measured and then cut to fit them exactly. This works though because of the design of that case. You don't have to take your phone out in order to use it, so the screen protector can just fit over the top of the case, your phone goes inside; done. We've had other customers say similar things about the juice pack cases... If you are constantly taking your phone in and out of a case with that kind of design, it can cause your protector to peal like that, especially if it's not on straight. We have only ever tested our screen protectors with one other case and that is the Griffin, and our screen protectors will not fit them properly.

It's not an OtterBox, but it may be similar. When I bought one of the SpeedDots overlays, it very quickly got ruined because the edge chafed against the shell when I slipped the phone in and out.

RE: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi Suzanne. Yes, in general whether you're blind and using a tactile overlay, or sighted and simply want/need to have your phone in an Otterbox Defender case, screen sensitivity is an issue. If you go onto Amazon and read reviews of the Otterbox Defender cases, you'll see many folks complaining about the fact that the built-in screen protector that's part of the OtterBox case alone, impacts screen sensitivity. Any distance from the phone screen itself, is going to effect the overall sensitivity when it comes to screen contact. That being said, we sell a lot of the Otterbox screen protectors, so it doesn't appear to be anything that's a deal breaker for most. It might be helpful for you if someone on this list who uses the Defender with our screen protector can weigh in on this discussion to give you a bit more info about overall screen sensitivity and how they feel it does or does not impact their use of the phone. I only can speak for what our customers say and how many we sell. I prefer not to use that particular case because if I must have bulk on my phone, I want it to mean something; so I either use a case that will extend my battery life, or if I want something more low profile, I'll use the Otterbox Impact which does not require a special cut protector and does not enclose my phone. It's personal preference really. As far as sliding the phone into the belt clip, it's like a holster. You can put your phone inside its shell in one of two ways; either slide it into the clip with the screen side facing out or in. Facing inward, once snapped in place, the phone is completely enclosed and the screen isn't exposed; so you'd need to slide the belt clip off to use the phone. With the screen facing out, of course, if you've got it that way and you're running around with it on your belt or something and you run through the bushes, your protector could scratch. I've seen folks carry it both ways. That again is a preference thing from what I've noticed. I'm emailing you off list about the specifics of replacing your screen protector, because I have some additional questions for you and do not want to clutter the list unnecessarily.

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi, I have used the Otter Box Defender case with the iPhone 4S and the Speed Dots protector. I don't have problems with the sensitivity of the screen considering there are two protectors. However I'm going away from the defender case right now, and it doesn't have to do with the speed dots protector at all. All in all, I find the Otter Box Defender cases very well done for the most part and do recommend them to people, but as Amy states, each person has their own preferences on cases, screen protectors, sensitivity, ETC. -- Raul A.

RE: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
LOL! You're lucky Traci! My boyfriend who runs the business with me and I of course have the same iPhone, and use the same screen protector layout, and at times also have our phones in similar cases. This means that the only way we can actually tell them apart is by unlocking the screen and looking at the layout of the home screen. To make things even more interesting. His mother even though she is sighted, keeps one of our screen protectors on her phone to use as a marketing tool. It works surprisingly well. But when we're all together, I've almost left with her phone instead of mine. Thankfully she doesn't use Voiceover. A very easy clue. LOL It would be nice to not have a house full of phones that all look the same. *smile* Amy Billman Check out my company for your screen protector and phone accessory needs!

You say you have both models. Where does one get them? Also, with this overlay, can one use the touch typing method, or does the overlay prevent sliding your finger around until you find the letter?Or perhaps, the overlay makes it easy to find the letters, so one does not have to slide their finger to find them?

Hello, I had my iPhone4s for several Months before I bought mine tactile overlay. I liked my phone before, but now the overlay is pretty handy. I bought both models, because I couldn't decide. I currently have the model on with all of the keyboard and smooth spots for fJ. I find myself using the overlay more for orientation then speed of typing. It is kind of cool to know exactly where the send button is or the address bar. :) then there are those spots that I find by accident. For example, if you move your finger on the left, just above the keyboard, you'll find yourself at the start of an email message. When you're in that app of course. BTW, the overlay has sped up my typing a bit, but I'm spoiled with dictation. ;) Traci Sent by Macbook Air Mail On Jun 13, 2012, at 3:37 PM, Jon Pierson wrote: Hi, I've used mine for a year and a half, no pealing at all.

RE: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi. Actually, we've managed to isolate all of the issues with pealing. These are standard clear screen protectors; the exact same that your average sighted person would use to protect their screen; just with tactile markings embossed. If they are applied onto a perfectly cleaned screen, and applied straight, you have a hell of a time removing them. I speak from personal experience; having applied hundreds at conventions. If any screen protector with or without markings is applied correctly, you need either very long nails or a butter knife to peal up a corner to remove it. Also, if you have any clients who are dissatisfied with their product, or are complaining about the pealing, please take down the web info in my signature and have them contact us. We're not a huge company, so customer service is something that we have time for and understand the importance of. *smile* I'll work with anyone, but they have to let us know they have a problem with the product so that we can correct the situation.

Amy, I think we didn't put ours on very well because later we saw an Apple Store rep do it properly and nothing now crinkles it etc. I personally found I spent my time looking for the dots and found it so offputting that I do without; but I know there are those who really get on well with them and find they speed up typing.

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi Amy, I have a question. I use a case for my iPhone 4s that has two parts: a hard part that is like a shell into which my phone very snugly fits, and a back belt clip that the phone and shell fit into. It's not an OtterBox, but it may be similar. When I bought one of the SpeedDots overlays, it very quickly got ruined because the edge chafed against the shell when I slipped the phone in and out. I see that you sell overlays for the OtterBox and wonder if you could describe how they differ from your standard ones. Do you know if they work with cases that are similar to the OtterBox as well?

Hi Amy, I'm not sure where this particular pealing screen protector came from. It could have come from either Balance FBA or visionaids canada both here in toronto, but I'm not sure where they source the things. I saw it on the phone one day with the corners looking all ratassed and then the next week I saw the same phone again and the screen protector was gone. My other current client that has one of these doesn't have an issue with pealing, but the dots are so flat I can hardly feel them myself and I'm a good braille reader. He has sensitivity issues so a tactile screen protector probably wasn't a good fit for him to begin with, but then he's obviously scrubbed the dots flat trying to feel them with his sensitivity reduced fingers. I'm guessing that the huge humidity in this area may play some part in the pealing situation. Also the pealing client tended to leave her phone on the charger a lot. I'm wondering if it may have been running hot more often than the average. Or it could have been a cheep piece of dimo tape that some one pounded out in their living room and handed off to the client. I never asked. But I'm not really convinced that a tactile screen protector is more than training wheels. Can't go wrong for the price, but I think it has more value as a comfort inducer than an actual communication aid.

Actually, we’ve managed to isolate all of the issues with pealing. These are standard clear screen protectors; the exact same that your average sighted person would use to protect their screen; just with tactile markings embossed. If they are applied onto a perfectly cleaned screen, and applied straight, you have a hell of a time removing them. I speak from personal experience; having applied hundreds at conventions. If any screen protector with or without markings is applied correctly, you need either very long nails or a butter knife to peal up a corner to remove it. Also, if you have any clients who are dissatisfied with their product, or are complaining about the pealing, please take down the web info in my signature and have them contact us. We’re not a huge company, so customer service is something that we have time for and understand the importance of. *smile* I’ll work with anyone, but they have to let us know they have a problem with the product so that we can correct the situation.

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
I bought both, one with lots of dots and one with few; tried and took them off pretty soon and didn't use them since. You feel about a bit to start with, but you get good at hitting the right spot after a while, like a good pianist does. And if you neeed to write that much, most get a real BT keyboard and type on that. Given the price of those overlays, and the starting price of a BT keyboard; you're half way towards the real kb for the cost of those bits of cutout plastic. BGut each to their own; the TypeInBraille has complicated this question a bit too as some have got quite efficient typists on that and transfer the text to the necesssary app after they wrote it. They might be good for an absolute novice, but most soon grow out of them and it has been argued that starting on them only creates the dependence they wouldn't otherwise have if they learnt from the beginning as-is so to speak. - Original Message - From: Arnold Schmidt arno...@mindspring.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 11:26 PM Subject: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?

At first I didn't think I would like it, but I find that not only does it help by making typing faster, but it also helps with other apps in knowing where certain buttons or review areas are.

RE: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Arnold, I have an overlay with all of the dots and I use the touch typing method. I find it does not impair my movement around the keyboard at all. I also think that the dots make it easier to maintain a straight line when sliding one's finger across the home screen to find a particular app. Go to www.speeddots.com to order. You can also buy an Otter Box Defender case along with the overlay. It all fits on the phone well and there is no bubbling.

RE: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
I have one, the standard one with dots on all the letters except for f and j and on other key places. Personally, I find it very helpful even though I'm an advanced user. Some people tend to look down their nose at aids like this but I say use what works for you and improves productivity and efficiency. It works very well for me.

I am so happy I decided to get the tactile overlay, it has tripled my typing speed on the on-screen keyboard, it was a low-cost investment for a large payback, and, if you don't like it, it's easy to remove, and with no effect on the phone or performance .

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
I had a standard tactical screen protector on my 3GS, I found it helpful, but I think if I were to buy another , I would get the Advanced model that only has dots on the controls and the letters F and J. I bought mine from Speed Dots http://speeddots.com/. Since I upgraded to the 4S I usually dictate instead of typing, so I really do not miss it. BTW they attach without using any adhesive so they peel off very easily and leave no residue.
