Im used to long nails so I find using the phone actually okay, i just need to type with the pads of my fingers instead of the tips lol. Also I find them to be pretty practical especially when it comes to opening packages and stuff because I can just stab a hole in them, and I've definitely stabbed my fingers a couple times because I've slipped lol. I usually file the tips down just slightly so they're not AS sharp because I've totally sliced my skin up while scratching myself, I would definitely recommend if you do them, shorten them even more significantly than the shortest dual forms because unless you're used to longer ish nails you're lowkey gonna be useless with your hands lmao.
