Don't worry. It has a small stylus pen with an elastic that you loop through the side so you can never lose it. The stylus pen works great.But you might have problems with the new Cowon S9 which has a capacative screen and so needs a finger to touch it, not even a finger nail will work on the S9 (I just happened to see that on the web).

I don't know - I use it on a conventional screen. It is pretty thick plastic compared to a screen protector, and is easier to scratch as well, so it may not be best for a touch screen. Just my guess.

You just touch the pad - it is sensitive enough not to need any pressure. It will respond even if you lightly brush it with your bare skin. However, it only responds to skin contact (i.e. won't work if you try to touch it with gloves on).

Hi Christina L.! Our Capacative (substitute for your finger) stylus pens work on any surface or screen that you can use your finger with (a touch screen yes!). Let me know if I can be of more help here:

Hi Sara.It is relatively easy to use the touchscreen through the plastic window. Likewise, I too pause, play and switch playlists frequently. However, be advised that moisture from sweat permeates the fabric and clouds the inside of the plastic window, which then makes the touchscreen unresponsive; you would then have to stop what you're doing to remove the moisture buildup.

I used it in a dual monitor setup and the touch screen becomes unpredictable. As if the monitor was unclear on which was in control. It was also a novice user so perhaps three of the same will not experience this dilemma.

I can't directly answer this since I never tried it with my first set of these gloves, and the second set fell apart as soon as I put them on and were immediately returned, but as opposed to some gloves that have fingertips that are different than the rest of the glove, these gloves are 100% conductive material. Because of this, I'm gonna guess any part of the glove will work to activate touchscreens.

Had this same problem. Someone told me the oil from your fingers messes up the touchscreen. Simple soloution-clean with Windex.

In my opinion, no. I say that b/c if you put one on your screen colors will not be as vibrant and the touch sensitivity may go down. Yes you will have finger smudge marks on the screen but I have been using mine now for about 3 months now and it is not all that bad.

Camera perfectly works with keys not using touch screen at all. There are many customisations for function keys, so you can adjust as you need. But I haven't seen option to disable touchscreen. Myself I'm also used to key control, so mostly I use keys, but in some cases touchscreen (for example you can set focus area by touching object in screen).

No. Newer touch screens don't use pressure sensing to detect a touch or tap. They use a capacitive method that requires the human finger, or something equivalent, to sense your touch. Search for "capacitive stylus" to find compatible styli.

I haven't had any problems with using the touch screen on my iPhone. I can't tell any great difference with or without the cover, I have a "glass" cover on my phone also, and "I" like it.

Well your in luck! it does NOT require body heat to work. Although the stylus is maybe a little over 2 inches so I'm not sure how functional it would be wearing bulky winter gloves! Have you thought about touch screen gloves?

No. Can't use touchscreens with these gloves as they're not made with conductive thread.

I found it easiest to use by touching the screen with the plastic stylus located in the rear right corner of the device. Mine works fine by touching it with my index finger, but I prefer to use the stylus. It's just easier and more accurate. If that doesn't work then there is likely a problem with it and you should return it.

You hold the stylus in your hand when you use it,but body heat has nothing to do with the stylus itself. What makes the stylus work is the rubberized type of material on one end. So as long as you can hold on to it with your gloves on,you can use a stylus.

The tap-to-dim option is a cool feature! My experience has been that it works with wet fingers and thin gloves such as cotton glove liners or running gloves for example. However, I was not able to consistantly activate this feature while wearing thicker snow ski gloves.
