Mujjo Touch gloves (review): iPhone screen operation with gloves

Serving your iPhone screen does not work with regular gloves. There is (conductive) skin contact is necessary to operate the screen. That means gloves off and with trembling fingers tap a text message, while the wind whistles to your ears. Fortunately there for a while special iPhone gloves available that make you just can keep your gloves. We tried the newest product: Mujjo Touch gloves, a Dutch start-up.

The secret of the Mujjo gloves, metal wires that are processed through it. Therefore you do not have one or two fingers that are suitable for your screen to control (like most smartphone gloves), but the whole glove for the touchscreen. The Mujjo works with capacitive touchscreens like the iPhone. The metal wires ensure that the conductive properties of your skin are passed through the gloves.




Appearance and materials Mujjo

The gloves are available in two versions: male (size M / L) and women (size S / M). Unfortunately I got the male version sent ( story of my life ), which went out a little too big but good to use. Because the gloves are knitted and easily stretchable so, they fit almost everybody. The only color that Mujjo currently sells is black with a small logo on the right. Possibly you can get off logo sewn on, but I did not annoying presence. The silver wires that are woven through the gloves, there are subtle and do not glitter or happy disco effect. There is no choice for special warm Thinsulate lining or other related technology. The packaging states that the gloves for 13.5% of silver wire, 66.5% acrylic and 20% are elastic. You can wash them by hand, but that's because of the color is not often necessary.


Mujjo-use gloves

The Touchscreen Gloves by Mujjo are not intended for real winter conditions, where you go throwing snowballs and hours through the cold cycle. The fabric of the glove is indeed fat, but they are not windproof and when the gloves get wet your hands cool more quickly. I would recommend these gloves therefore especially if you head out for a walk or cycle to your work. Along the way you operate your iPhone, without having to constantly have your gloves off.
Controlling the screen goes much good: it registers the touch screen well, all you have to get used to you not as slender fingertips. Typing on the iPhone keyboard is pretty complicated, with thick glove fingers. What is also less useful, is exactly on top of the finger joint is a transverse spot so your fingers slightly thicker. Maybe just make the knitting experts among our readers there is pressure to, but I would have preferred that the manufacturer had made form knitted fingers, so you do not suffer from the seam.

The gloves are most suitable for controlling apps. For playing an action game or typing a long text, I would rather find a hot spot, without gloves to operate the screen. But in normal use, while at the bus stop and just want to check your mail or to publish anything on Twitter, they are ideal. You can always get the iPhone out of your pocket and quickly look up something or a message click away.



Conclusion

iPhone gloves are not common to find them in every department store, but there is already a lot of choice. Want a Dutch start-up support, these gloves Mujjo a nice present for Christmas or a birthday. I liked the gloves well as the entire glove is conductive, so you can touch each finger to the screen. The gloves are good, fit into any wardrobe and are easy to lend to your partner, because their elasticity is almost always fit. However, you must keep in mind that these gloves for the chilly autumn weather and not intended for harsh environments such as skiing, cycling for hours through the cold and throwing snowballs. In that case you better windproof gloves or leather gloves to buy. Undoubtedly, the copies in a short time for € 0.03 at DealExtreme appear, but the original price of the gloves (€ 24.95), you are not extremely expensive.
