AnyGlove For Leather - Turn Your Favorite Leather Gloves Into Touchscreen Gloves.

Okay, first off, I have NO relationship to this company. I want to point that out because my review is pretty glowing and I don't want you to think it's fake. Anyone who writes a 1 star review of this product is being incredibly unfair. I emailed AnyGlove customer service before purchasing because I was deciding between the Leather Formula and the Original. Based on their advice, I bought the leather formula (I don't have leather gloves, mostly nylon/waterproof winter gloves). I get the product, and followed their instructions exactly (put on 2 coats, blow dry...one more coat and blow dry. It took about 10 minutes tops with interruptions from my 2 year old). Voila! My first set of gloves worked on my iPhone and iPad perfectly. On to my REI gloves that are nylon and a faux leather on the inside fingers and have a seam around each finger. I did the same application, and sure enough I could get contact but it was intermittent. So, I email AnyGlove again and sent a picture of the gloves and asked if they had any tips. They got back to me SAME DAY with an image of my picture with green outlines added specifying how far to apply the product on each finger I want to be reactive. They also suggested that if my seam got in the way too much (not the products fault, just the glove limitation), I could also put the product on my knuckle - which is a great alternative. Anyhow, I followed their diagram and now that pair of gloves is also reactive! Awesome. My next test is on a pair of magic gloves (cheap knit fabric), but I haven't had a chance to do them yet (and I keep forgetting to bring them in from the car - they are my back up pair). All in all, though, the product works really great when you follow the directions and the customer service of this company is OUTSTANDING and really friendly. They don't make you feel bad for writing in to ask questions - they thank you for reaching out. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

Well, I had a pair of black leather "touchscreen" gloves. The "had" and the prior quotation marks because they were ceasing to be touchscreen gloves. Swipes became taps, taps were often missed, and one glove almost entirely quit working. Oh, bother.My search for resolution of my gloves' "diminished capacity" (OK, capacitance) led me to AnyGlove for Leather. The product sounded promising, yet mixed reviews gave cause for some caution. I decided the experiment would be worthwhile and placed my order.By the time the AnyGlove for Leather arrived, Amazon reviews and other research had led me to contemplate further experiment. Product instructions and YouTube videos seemed to be all about building up a layer of AnyGlove on the outside of the leather. OK, fine, but not what I _wanted_, and all the more so given reports of that outer layer peeling away. I wanted the leather of my gloves impregnated with whatever would make them touchscreen capable. So, I ignored the instructions and pursued my own idea.First, I laid out multiple layers of newspaper to protect my work area from staining. AnyGlove for leather isn't merely black, it's _BLACK_. Boot blacking has nothing on this stuff. Hmmm... touchscreen boots, anyone? ;^)Back on topic, I got a used, cleaned toothbrush and used it to scuff up fingertips and thumbtips I wanted to treat with AnyGlove. One by one, I then dripped a single drop of AnyGlove onto a target area and used the toothbrush to spread it across and "work it into" the leather. This seemed to go more quickly than the "spread and use hair dryer" instructions might have, and I didn't (yet) bother with a second coat.The initial result is like-new operation of the gloves with my phone, so my experience indicates the product is clearly worth a try.I've given a 4-star rating because AnyGlove for Leather did just what I wanted, I was able to apply it easily (maybe more easily than proposed in the instructions), I was able to use much less than suggested (I'll have plenty for retreatments if needed and for other gloves), and because if my "work it into the leather" idea continues to "pan out" I may achieve my goal of "impregnated" rather than "coated" touchscreen capability.Well, with all that optimism, why not 5 stars? Not enough time yet. As I learn how well or poorly my (mis)use of the product fares, I may eventually learn whether I ought to increase or decrease the rating.

So, maybe I overlooked it, but while the product says to test for color and that it's only intended for black gloves on the packaging, it doesn't say that it is dyed/stained black itself. So, I put this on my deerskin gloves that I use for skiing. I did two coats, and waited in between coats for them to fully dry. The film worked and I was able to use my phone. Until they got wet. Once they got wet, the black dyed product started just wiping off the fingertips of the gloves. Had I taken them skiing, I would have had a hard lesson and possibly ruined any of my non-black clothing. By the time the stain had stopped wiping itself onto other things, the gloves no longer worked on my touch screen. Your mileage may vary, but this was colossal waste of money for me, and might have ruined other gear had I not been cautious. Avoid.
