In the winter it sometimes can be too cold to interact with your Nook, Kindle Fire, iPad, or iPhone with bare hands, but because all of these screens are capacitive, not resistive, they require an electric charge that normally comes from skin contact to work. This means wearing special gloves for ereaders and tablets. They are sometimes called “texting gloves” or “touchscreen gloves” or “smartphone gloves”. Isotoner even has their own line of gloves that work with ereaders called, “Smartouch.”
These Isotoner Smartouch gloves are warm, comfortable, and work great on my smartphones. They fit well, even on small hands. You may have trouble texting with them on, but as far as answering a call or making one, getting my email, or any other action on my phone, these gloves work like a dream – so much better than taking off a glove constantly! Plus, they have anti-slip areas on the palm side and fingers so driving with them is safe too. The Agloves don’t appear to have this feature.
Isotoner’s new smartouch technology gives you the ability to operate touch screen devices while wearing gloves. This glove allows you to operate touchscreen devices while staying warm. This is a full glove, not like the texting gloves that you have to pull the fingertips of the gloves back to expose your fingers to the cold air to text or use a smartphone or other touchscreen device. With these, your fingers stay warm, which to me is the point of gloves in the first place. I recommend them to anyone looking for a decent glove that also needs/wants to use a touchscreen device.

Here’s what one reviewer had to say, “I absolutely love my Agloves Sport; I wear them everyday. (I like my Agloves Sport so much that I bought a pair of Agloves Bamboo, too. I like both pairs, recommend both, but I like the Sports the best.) The gloves are plenty warm enough for winters in Brooklyn, but neither waterproof nor warm enough for the bitter cold. The gloves do run a bit small, but the gloves work better on with a snugger fit. It is SO convenient to be able to use my iPhone outside without having to take my gloves off. I like the color: black with silver-flecks, looks charcoal gray from afar. And most of all, the gloves work. It is SO convenient to be able to use by iPhone outside without having to take my gloves off. I can text, write emails, use Google Maps.”
One reviewer said, “This is a great product to protect your valuable small electronics. The inside padding is perfect in case you accidently drop the case. I recommend it for anyone who needs a relatively inexpensive case for those small products,” while another said, “This case is a nice size, and very convenient. I am able to store my Nook, chargers, Ipod, earphones, and even small speakers in the case, with some room to spare. I like it!”
