I’ve thought about doing this, but I’m severely klutzy. The idea of handling my phone with fuzzy gloves seems like a bad idea for me. I’m sure it would slide out of my hands and onto some hard surface.
I’d probably start with something nonslip (leather?) or add nonslip surface stuff.
Great Tutorial! It makes perfect sense and beats having to buy new gloves! Thankfully it’s Android compatible, I was almost worried. ;D
I’ve been wearing those thin, grey, nitrile Atlas-Fit gloves. They work like a charm without modification. :)
