TapCaps adhesive glove tips fool touchscreens into thinking that there is direct finger to screen contact, making swiping away at the screen a breeze without having to subject one's digits to frost-bite and bone-chilling temperatures.
There have been a slew of cold-weather accessories geared toward aiding smartphone users who want to keep their digits warm while tapping away at their screens.
These glove accessories differ, however, because they are additions to hand protectors that one already has. This stops one having to invest in the purchase of special gloves.
Invented by Alice Ning, who is based out of Washington, the stickers easily attach to any pair of hand-warmers. They are super thin and promise to not leave any yucky, glue residue behind after being removed.
