Hi, I believe the issue is that you are probably running IOS 5.1.1 and the HIMS products don't work with it. They worked with a slightly earlier version and they work with iOS 6 but you can't run iOS 6 on a 3rd generation Touch. Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

Hi, It is very similar to the Defender case. I personally like it better because it provides a cover for the camera lens, which the defender does not. It is a rather tight fit. My sighted wife put it on for me. The first time the triple click home wouldn't work and if you just pressed on the

It is an app primarily for Bookshare members. In fact, if you are not a Bookshare member, I'm not sure you would want to spend $20.00 for the app. As a Bookshare member, I love the app. The description in the app store is pretty good, so I won't repeat it here. Just make sure you spell it

Fleksy is only charging $4.95 and provides the ability to use the text in Emails, Messages, Twitter or copy it to the clipboard. If the Braille Touch sticks with their pricing plan of $19.98 for the entire pacakage, I will certainly be encouraging people to not buy it. I think it is way over

I would say the iPod Touch 5th gen is almost a credit card and a half in length. Not much wider than a credit card though. The mini is about the size of a paperback novel, perhaps a little wider than some. The touch will fit nicely in a pocket or purse, where the mini will not. HTH, Richard
