If you have an iPhone and live in a colder climate, you know that you have to remove your gloves to use your phone.  There are now a number of gloves available that allow you to use your phone and keep your gloves on.  These are, by far, the best ones I have tried.  The gloves are warm, but flexible and not thick, and the touch pad on the finger and thumb is embroidered into the fabric.  Other gloves use a patch of fabric that is sewn on (which can come off).
