Partial glove for protection of touchscreens

Abstract

The invention is directed to a partial glove for the protection of a touchscreen. The partial glove comprises a pair of independent finger sleeves which slide over the index and middle finger, as well as a thumb sleeve which slides over the thumb and wraps around the ball of the hand, to be secured by a patch of hook-and-loop fabric. This prevents soiling and damage of the touchscreen. The partial glove is preferably manufactured from a breathable fabric mesh, except for three elliptical pads on the tips of the fingers and thumb. The pads are preferably manufactured from a smooth, solid material such as leather.
