Because iPhone doesn’t have a QWERTY keyboard, some people are having a hard time typing on a glass then keep hitting on another menu accidentally because it lacks the feeling of pressing on a button. Good thing there’s 4iThumbs for iPhone which gives some small bumps on the screen so you know exactly where your fingers are. The portrait overlay will cost you $14.95 while the landscape version is $16.95. Now there’s no reason for iPhone owners to feel envious to phone owners whose handsets have physical QWERTY keyboards.
