For my fellow cold weather Geeks. My wife got these for me and they're great. No more taking off my gloves to use my Evo. Check it:

I just bought some made by 180's the other day for $7.99!!!
Was at a TJ MAxx looking at gloves and saw some that looked nice and were super soft so I tried them on, then I saw the package and it had a pic of a guy wearing the gloves and using a iphone. I got super excited and said "No Way!!" (my fiance looked at me like I was crazy

), looked at the finger tips and the pointer finger and thumb have a little circle there that allows you to use your phone. They work pretty good and the best part is they were only $8!!! Bought a pair in both black and brown. If any one wants, I can go back and see if they have any left and ship them to you guys. I am in GA

@stanglifemike

Do you have pics of these gloves? I have a TJ Maxx about 5 miles away from me and would definitely be interested in them when it gets colder here in Georgia.

I checked them out. The circles on the tips protrudes out and don't sit discreetly on the glove

Thanks for the link Vtec, guess I'll be getting the Northface gloves instead...

Yup, these look like the ones that I got Amazon.com: 180s Men's Weekender Tectouch Glove: Clothing
They do stick out about 1/16th of an inch or less. It actually makes using it that much easier in the gloves. They may not be the best on the market...but I'm happy with my $8 find!! I have a black pair and a brown pair and spent less than $20 including tax. They work just fine for me!!

NO!!!! Don't buy those overpriced gloves.
You can make your own touch screen gloves like I did.
Buy or use your favorite pair of gloves and get conductive thread.
Conductive thread is like $5.00 for 10 ft.....which is plenty.
You can then just sew the thread onto your fingertips and wala! You have touch screen gloves.

Here's the link for the thread:

Thats cool Vtec. I may try that on some other gloves that I have. But I definately did not buy overpriced gloves!!! Well, actually I may have bought overpriced gloves, but I didnt pay the overpriced price tag. I only paid 7.99 per pair...
