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! -- Raul A. Gallegos The local orphanage called and asked for a donation. So I sent them my kids.
