I have a parents that is visually impaired, yeah "blind" as you can mock about.
Even if i feel delighted whenever people try to make visual impaired people life easyer i'm very perplexed about this.
What's the pourpose of a fixed relief silicon layer over a non-responsive touchscreen that may display anything? i mean, it's not like icons, functions and menus are fixed on the iphone , the author and apple should work together to make a "visual impaired mode" (which i seriously doubt)similar that the one on OSX with voice over and larger standard and fixed icons , otherwise i don't see the point of this case.
And another thing is the waste of money , what's the point to buy a pricey iphone that rely much on our view to display anything when the key point that a visually impaired people need most is a cellphone that tell him everything is on screen to make him able to write an "listen" an e-mail/sms and make a call (much more easier and faster on a cellphone with keys,and it's obvious why). For example where i live our carrier TIM offers freely tim talks a symbian application that enable a "text-to-speech" experience on s60 symbian OS.
Sure, thare are better cellphone in this sense i was told there is a customized cellphone (basically a nokia smartphone)that other than that it can also read text from photo shoots, vocal and gps guidance with feedback in and from a special walking stick but just the cellphone costs 2000€

You hit the nail on the head.
"i mean, it's not like icons, functions and menus are fixed on the iphone"
that is why this designer has created the program that is "blind friendly" no iphone-esque moving icons etc...
read the article.
it states that it would work with a custom application that would operate with the interface drawn on the silicone. "would" being the operative word.
