Even she got long fingernail its ok;

Solution A: Stylus Pen (any type one as long won't scratch your protective screen, try the pen before purchase one)

Solution B: Cut her fingernail, LoL (not sure she want or not)

Solution C: Change iPad to Galaxy Tab (hahaha)

That's all " Wink "

i have no problem with the touching anywhere of the screen. lol
of course, a capacitive touch only works when you point with finger, not the nail.
I keep my finger nails short for that purpose.
hope that helps.

I'm a girl and I have no problem with touching the ipad screen too!
That's so strange, maybe you can ask other female friends to try it?

No problem for my gf to touch too.. Perhaps try to touch on several units and see?

Dear TS,
Kinda funny though. lol!
I brought an ipad for my wife, so far it's work fine for her (eventhough its under utilised, all the while were left aside.. not use)

Technically, (correct me). ipad touch screen based on capacitive-type, human body mainly act as conductor, touching screen will cause electrostatic distubance hence signaling/triggered the point

I dunno if she 'ESD/anti-static' protected.. but normally can la, try simulate & see.

Touch it dude, touch it. Not poke it with fingernail. I bet its the fingernail's problem coz girls tend to have long nails.
