I wear them when at the grocery store, primarily. There's a lot of high touch there. It's probably overkill, but it makes me feel more comfortable about it.

So, you wear gloves at the grocery store, then you touch your phone with them? Wearing gloves isn't going to help unless you also wash everything you touched with gloves.

If you're concerned about touching things when out wash your hands when you get home (and anything else you've touched while out).

I just don't touch my phone in the store and hand sanitize before I touch my wallet or car keys (anything I'm taking home with me) and then again after I put the cart away. At each of those contact points I'd need to sanitize my gloves as well so it doesn't seem to provide extra protection.
