They did not work for me but technology is probably better. Also, just my fingers don't often work in winter so I can't really blame the gloves. My hands get cold and dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-gloves-for-textingmobile-devices#post-1574695 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 21:49:59 +0000 Rambling Ann 1574695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hopefully they are on order. I am still waiting these 4 hours later for an email confirmation of my order. My bad for not creating an account, I guess, but geez Louise, how many accounts do I need? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-gloves-for-textingmobile-devices#post-1574648 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:59:49 +0000 Anonymous 1574648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair by Isotoners and they are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-gloves-for-textingmobile-devices#post-1574632 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:24:53 +0000 Jenn 1574632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the $3 ones from Target and they totally work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-gloves-for-textingmobile-devices#post-1574627 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:11:44 +0000 Rubygirl 1574627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine work..

I have a cheapo pair from Old Navy last year and just bought a thicker pair at Costco the other day. Surprisingly, they do work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/magic-gloves-for-textingmobile-devices#post-1574611 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 17:42:35 +0000 Rambling Ann 1574611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-with-my-big-girl-pants-on">whinging on</a>&nbsp;about updating daily needs. I just ordered a pair of gloves that are supposed to work with electronic touch screens like phones.

Anyone use these?&nbsp;Do they work?</p>
