Tried with my T-shirt and it works fine, tried with leather gloves and it didn't work, tried with heavy wool gloves and it didn't work, tried with water on the screen and wet fingers and it sort of works but it doesn't do what you want it to do. Also it may not be working on my one because I use a matte screen protector which was not made for this phone.

Just wonder how the ultra sensitive TP can perform as it strongly mentioned on their official web site. With gloved hand.....act like those other brand flagship machine

The window does work, but has a big design issue. If you look at the bigger brands that uses the same Smart Window design, there is no gap between the back of the cover and the window. It feels smooth. But the design of our cover has a gap which means you have to push down hard for the window to actually make contact with the screen which is the main issue. I have ordered black covers and hoping they have fixed this. I have thought of trying to put something in the gap to fill it, but to still keep it crystal clear will be very hard.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I will update this once the new covers come through.

I played around with it today, and notice that the window is not as sensitive with 1.0.8. I am not sure whether it is software related or not, but seems like the latest firmware turned down the sensitivity of the screen when the cover is closed. It does make sense to try and fill the gap between the screen and the window. I considered using a clear glue but not sure whether it will damage the screen even with the screen protector on. Will try and fill it tonight and see how it is.
The other option is to completely cut out the window and it should work perfect. I don't mind trying out a few things since my new cover should be with me by Friday.
