  • Publication number: 20120137403
    Abstract: A fingertip covering for prevention of smudges, dirt accumulation and germ transfer to and from an electronic touchscreen device. The covering comprises a cylindrical section with an open end and a closed end, and a two-part construction. An antistatic microfiber material comprises the contact region and interface with the touchscreen, while an elastic material comprises the body of the covering. The use of a microfiber contact region provides a conductive interface for use with multiple touchscreen technologies. A fingernail opening is provided to accommodate users with longer finger nails, while the elastic body region conforms to different size fingers. The disclosed invention is an alternative to touchscreen covers that dull the display, reduce feedback and are prone to imbedded air bubbles that erode touch sensitivity.
