I simply subclass UITextField, and override layoutSubviews as follows:

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    for (UIView *v in self.subviews)
    {
        if ([[[v class] description] rangeOfString:@"UITextSelectionView"].location != NSNotFound)
        {
            v.hidden = YES;

    }
}
