No I don't have a Speed dots protector, I thought about it but then decided not to do it. The keyboard takes up about the bottom one-third of the screen when the keyboard is available. The letters appear as they would on a regular keyboard, except punctuation and numbers are hidden under the more button in the lower left corner. The Otterbox Defender has a ridge around the whole screen so when I say left lower corner it is right against the bevel. Standard typing is how the phone is set up, you double tap or split tap to type a letter, tap twice, or find the letter you want, then tap with another finger. The touch typing mode has you sliding all over the place and as soon as you lift a finger the letter spoken is typed. Some say it is faster but I found that after a week I was making a lot more mistakes, so I went back to standard mode.

You might increase that to three if you explain how standard typing works. I'd like to try doing it. Do you have a screen protector like the one SpeedDots offers to help you identify where the keyboard is?

I don't send e-mail on my phone, it has an e-mail account that only a couple of people know about, I use it to send messages from work where I need to enter contact info etc. If I were not working where I had to get 100% of my attention to what I am doing I might feel differently but as of this writing I don't do Facebook, Twitter or receive a ton of e-mail on my phone, and I discourage texting during my working hours. It does not stop my husband or one friend, unfortunately and I have near the end of a day when I am involved in a report I need to finish before I leave turned off the phone completely but I would rather not do that, I want a phone when I am at work, mostly to stay connected with my husband who has been a frequent flyer in the hospital. I don't want a lot of messages, beeps, and other sounds interrupting me during those hours. I could mess with do not disturb, I suppose but, it is easier not to do those accounts and to keep my e-mail on the phone to a minimum since I don't like typing on the keyboard all that much even after nearly two years, I can, of course, but would rather do most of my communicating on my computer. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lynda & Neema Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 7:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Touch typing questions I tried both touch and standard too and found I like standard better also.
