Winter is just around the corner. Depending on where you live and work, this could mean that it’s almost time to start bundling up with toques, scarves, and thick winter coats. You may also start wearing gloves and mittens to keep your hands warm. The trouble with this is that you may have some difficulty using your touchscreen-equipped devices, particularly those that use capacitive touchscreens.

If you happen to have something like an Apple iPhone 4, it may be worthwhile to consider picking up a silver touchscreen stylus. It’s far from the most advanced product on the market, but this stylus will allow you to interact with your favorite touchscreen handheld (like an iPad) without taking off your gloves in the bristling cold. Produced and marketed by GTMax, the stylus has a soft rubber tip on the end.

This allows you to have incredible precision on the touchscreen, tapping through virtual keyboards and clicking on website links with great accuracy and speed, without worrying about scratching the display. Use some other devices and you could end up with some rather unsightly scuffs. The soft rubber is combined with anti-oxidative medal, making it both durable and flexible.

Perhaps the best part is the price. You can find the universal silver touchscreen stylus on Amazon.ca for $1.38. That’s 86% off the regular price of $9.99!
