I bought these because I wanted a glove that I could use my phone while wearing them.  The first few times I wore them, I was able to swipe my finger across my phone.  Now that I'm over a month into wearing them, I can no longer swipe my phone for some reason.  These gloves have a fleece lining, which makes them a bit more snug, and also very warm.  Keeping my hands/fingers warm is the more important over being able to swipe my phone.  I live in Washington State, so even though it's April, it's still pretty cool here, so I wear these 4-5 times a week, mostly late afternoon/evening when I'm out.
