Hi Jenny, I agree with you. Direct touch typing absolutely rocks on an iPad, and when I first started using this feature three months ago, I couldn't imagine using it on my phone. Now I am starting to, and I suspect it will be used even more regularly when I get my 6 Plus. But there's definitely a knack to it and it may take a while to learn. Direct typing is a great reason to have a SpeedDots screen protector. It really helps and the combination can speed you way up.
