A full cap attached properly is no more or less detectable to touch than a partial unit.

Think about it. The only places that might be detectable are the edges. With a partial unit you essentially have a "seam" that runs in an oval shape around the middle of your scalp. any potential lifting and when someone runs their hand through your hair, they will know something is up.

Compare this to a full cap. If you attach the nape as I outline on my blog, this all but eliminates detectability issues in that area. Move around to the area above the ears. Most of the time if someone runs their hands through your hair, they aren't feeling around your ears, so this is of no consequence with a full cap.

The temples? Could be an issue if they aren't attached properly, but I have never had an issue.

The hairline? Same situation as a partial unit.

If you ask me, a full cap dome correctly is less detectable to the touch. I got busted (suspected) with a partial. Never happened with a full cap so far.

Just remember my trick- cut a small shark tooth pattern in the areas where the hair hangs down (nape and even above the ears if you want to be extra safe. Use tape, and extend it just a tiny bit beyond the tips of the "teeth". I'm at the end of an attachment right now, and reaching back to my nape I can't feel a thing.
