If you've made a custom number pad or other popover, another solution would be to use a gesture recognizer in the init of your UIView like this:

tapper = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
tapper.cancelsTouchesInView = NO;
[self addGestureRecognizer:tapper];

 _yourViewController = [[CustomViewController alloc] init];
_yourPopoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:_yourViewController];
_yourPopoverController.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(550, 300);
_yourViewController.delegate = self;

And have the handleSingleTap dismiss the popover if visible and dismiss editing:

- (void)handleSingleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *) sender
{
    if ([_yourPopoverController isPopoverVisible]) {
        [_yourPopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
    }

    [self endEditing:YES];
}
