iDigiTip accessory

If you’re one of the people who just can’t get used to the thinner and smaller is better in the technology world, then the iDigiTip just might be your answer.  Mobile keyboards and other touch-screen devices have small keyboards and if you have big thumbs or all fingers for that matter, it can probably make texting quite troublesome.

Whisk your frustrations of mashing two to three buttons at a time by using an accessory that is made for the wide extremity folk.  iDigiTip is a piece of plastic that wraps around a finger of your choosing and includes a foam button on the contact side.

The accessory will work on both touch-screens and obviously pressure sensitive physical keys.  Sort of resembling a finger brace, the iDigiTip can solve your dexterity woes when trying to get your favorite mobile game on or reduce the time it takes you to type a text on your smartphone.

iDigiTip Can Be Used Many Places

One of the other features noted by the iDigiTip’sofficial page is that it allows for “no fingerprints.”  If you are OCD and constantly wiping your screen and yelling at those who get an oily smudge on your smartphone or tablet, this may be right up your alley.  If my friend told me I had to put on this finger accessory before borrowing their phone to make a call, I might seriously reconsider my options however.

Some of the other uses included: medical use for sterile environments using the iDigiTip over latex gloves, food service or retail industry increasing cleanliness and efficiency, Senior citizens and those with disabilities who have decreased mobility and accuracy, and its place with TSA and the security industry.

I have long skinny skeleton fingers so I don’t share your fat finger pain; but I definitely know a person or two who could use the iDigiTip.  So if you want to “put the magic in your fingertips,” visit their website and snag up a pack of two for $19.95
