Overview
TAPS is a touchscreen sticker that will make any glove touchscreen compatible. It is also built with a unique fingerprint for touch ID function. Powered using Nanotips®, TAPS is made with an extremely adhesive conductive material that can be applied to any surface for touch capability. TAPS are formulated to stick and stay on almost any surface and guaranteed to work on all touchscreen devices.

FEATURES

Military grade durability - Engineered using a military grade Polyurethane and our Nanotips® solution. TAPS' surface will resist abrasion in any lifestyle.

Waterproof - Designed to fit wet lifestyles, we used a water repellent (hydrophobic) blend to make sure TAPS will work in the wettest climates.

Flexible - The thin film, TAPS, combined with our adhesive backing gives TAPS the flexibility needed to withstand extreme wear conditions your gloves will endure. This is essential is keeping TAPS from peeling off your glove.

Nanoparticle infused material - The Nanoparticles is what makes TAPS work. These particles give this small little sticker has enough conductive power to activate any capacitive touchscreen device even through a glass screen protector.

Fingerprint Technology - We've made every TAPS with a unique fingerprint - This gives your gloves access to any biometric fingerprint scanner. We've also ensured that every TAPS comes with a different fingerprint - for security reasons, obviously.

FOR ANY LIFESTYLE 

TAPS is engineered with simplicity and ease-of-use in mind. Whatever your lifestyle is, whatever your hobby may be, TAPS is great for adding touch screen function to your existing gloves. Military, snowboarders, motorcyclists, mountain bikers - just stick some TAPS to get connected.

RUNNERS. Stay connected to any device on the go.

 MOTORSPORTS. TAPS is built with durability in mind.

 WINTER SPORTS. Durable and waterproof. Use them for snow sports

 OUTDOOR STUFF. Stuff to do with outdoors.

PHOTOGRAPHY. Fly your drone in the cold weather. Don't let gloves limit your control.

 

WHY TAPS? 

TAPS will give you the ability to transform any glove into a touchscreen glove. Whether it's gloves you already own, broken touchscreen gloves, or just new gloves you want to make compatible - TAPS will make those gloves functional.

Unlimited choices - Touchscreen gloves limit your selection of styles. With TAPS, you can make any glove touchscreen compatible - Don't limit yourself to certain styles and comfort with touchscreen gloves.

Durability - If you've ever owned touchscreen gloves, you might have been pretty disappointed with how long they last before they stop working. TAPS is built with a unique polyurethane material which makes this material extremely durable in any situation.

Existing Gloves - If you already have gloves, TAPS let's you upgrade those pairs.

Repair tool - If you already have touchscreen gloves and they've stopped working. Grab a pack of TAPS and make them functional again.

Lifestyles - Some industries or lifestyles still don't make touchscreen gloves. We'll, now there's TAPS for that.

TOUCH ID COMPATIBLE

Every TAPS has a unique ability to work with biometric fingerprint scanners. Each TAPS has it's very own unique print so you can be sure your device is locked to your own print. 

Security - We've made each print on TAPS uniquely different. This means there are no TAPS with the same fingerprint - not even the ones in the same pack. (see below for the technology on how we did this)

Adding TAPS - Simply register your TAPS as a fingerprint on your phone like you would any other finger.

Multiple Touch ID's per phone - Each device can typically store up to 6 different fingerprints. Save TAPS as one of them.

TECHNOLOGY 

Conductive nano-material - TAPS is a blend of our proprietary Nanotips® liquid solution and a military grade polyurethane. Each TAPS has enough conductivity built in to activate any capacitive device. 

Adhesion - We've partnered with 3M to ensure TAPS has enough adhesion to any surface. Using one of their strongest adhesives, we were able to line each of our nano-material layers (TAPS) with 3M's technology. This allows the material to remain on the glove at all times.

Shape - Creating a shape that was small enough, yet conductive enough to work with any glove and screen was a challenge. We've gone through hundreds of interations and samples to create our final shape. This shape we've chosen will work with any glove and is the best shape to reduce strain on the flexibiliy and peel effects associated with the glove.

Touch ID - Security before convenience. We've made sure that every TAPS comes with a unique artificial fingerprint to ensure that no TAPS are ever the same. To do this, we use a rotational stamp that moves along the X and Y axis when stamping the TAPS print - Giving TAPS thousands of misaligned micro rivets in the material.
