Hi Chuck. In all fairness, you don't know me from Adam, so you really
have no idea how often someone would use my phone other than me, sighted
or otherwise. However since you did ask, my son who has vision, and my
daughter who also has vision, use my phone from time to time to play
games. My wife who is also sighted, sometimes uses my phone in the case
that her own phone isn't around or nearby. So, why would I want to put
on a screen protector which has been painted over, and in the end making
my phone look rather nasty and not like an iPhone. Furthermore, if you
peel off a screen protector enough times, the chances of getting it bent
increase, and eventually make it unusable. However, as you said, the
point is moot since the Fleksy developer is doing something in the next
update regarding privacy.
Cheers, and keep rocking on!

Hi Raul,
I assume you are referring to my suggestions about a way to make a
screen curtain while using Fleksy.
First, I am curious, how many times have you had to have a sighted
person use your phone? In the rare event that this would be necessary,
you could peel off the screen protector or turn the screen brightness up.
But considering that we are talking about someone who runs the screen
curtian all the time, wouldn't that make the phone un-usable for sighted
people?
But as I understand it, this is all moot as the Fleksy developer is
planning a fix to the screen curtain issue.

This sounds like a good idea in theory, but what about in practice?
What's going to happen if you ever need sighted assistance or if
it's cited person ever needs to use your phone? What will happen if
you go to the phone store or Apple Store and a tech needs to use the
phone?

BTW Kim,
If you want a screen curtain all the time, you could get a screen
protector and spray paint it an opaque color.
I am not sure what type of paint to use, but it may be something
worth trying.

Hi Kim,
actually, you are right,it is not possible... I had the screen
curtain on before I triple clicked and just didn't pay
attention to the screen.
The screen curtain only works with voice over on.

Hi Chuck,
How is it that you can type with Fleksy and have the screen
curtain on? When I triple tap the home button the screen
curtain
goes away. I'd love to keep the curtain on all of the time.
Thanks,
Kim
