I'm allergic to my iPad

Since buying my iPad, I have developed a nickel allergy, which causes my fingertips to burn when I use apple products. According to this article, 17% of women and 3% of men also have nickel allergies, and the problem is growing:

Could Apple PLEASE make products useable for people with these allergies? In the meantime, what are my options? Can I get a refund? Are there special protectors made for Apple products that will alleviate the burning??

iPad 2, iOS 8.2

Doubt you can get a refund but..


There are styluses around for use with tablet devices -- for those who don't want to touch the screens which do harbor germs ewww. Guessing you could see if there is plastic film that can be put over the Ipad that wont interfere with working with it.


Will pass the article on to an Ipad user i know who also has nickel allergy.
