For the Compulsively Neat

Hand wearing SmudgeGuardA reader sent me a note about this product, SmudgeGuard, originally designed for lefties, then extended to artists and now Tablet PC users. It looks like it covers the pinky and goes around the wrist, covering the outter edge of one’s hand. The idea is to prevent your hand from smudging your work when you’re writing or drawing with pencil, though the web site also talks about using it to keep from smudging your screen as you write.

I’m not that compulsively neat with my tablet so I’m not sure I’d get it just for that, but being an old overhead projector teacher, my first thought was all my coworkers who perpetually had the blue-green stain on the outter edge of their hand from not-quite-clean transparencies (while I thoroughly bleached my transparencies and never had that problem). I wonder if it would work for wet-erase pens like overhead pens.

Of course, if someone wants to send me one to do a formal review…

    Thanks for this post! I’ve been looking for the answer to my smudging for the longest! I can’t stand the fingerprints and hand smudges! I need to see through my screen – clarity is important! It seems like every minute, my sweaty or clammy hands would start messing up my screen. I don’t have the time to keep cleaning my screen! So this is the perfect answer to my problem! Again, THX for posting it up!
