I've never tried the touch and flow.
The best way to use the flex-i-file is to squeeze the frame a bit (or a lot) so that the file can conform to the curve that's being sanded and to use a finer grade than you would normally, it takes a bit longer but it gives a better result.

I do use it and works great on rounded parts. But the only problem is the sanders don't last long. So you will need to buy a lot more sanding tapes. I tried making my own but haven't found the right glue that will hold up to the pressure.
