Have a sudden urge to rewatch the BlackBerry movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3icHg3N5ym0
Doesn't BlackBerry have a patent for this? Ryan Seacrest had started a iPhone physical keyboard company, Typo I think, and got sued so bad he abandoned the whole thing. How will these people get around it?
I wonder if that is in part why Clicks has more colorful designs.
What I want is a physical smartphone keyboard with nine keys. The one with three letters per key. I've never been faster and more accurate at typing on my phone than when these were a thing. I have pretty small hands, but even for me those full-size mini-keyboards are too imprecise to make them much better than a touch keyboard.
I don’t believe you. There’s no way you type faster with up to three taps needed per letter. What a disgusting monstrosity those things were.

It doesn't support MagSafe so it's not something I would buy but it's very interesting. If it supported MagSafe and was only $100 I'd probably would have bought it just to try it out. Yes, it would make my 15 Pro Max a monster but it would be interesting to try. That it plugs into the USB-C port is both expected and worrisome (also none of the product photos show this for some reason). I know it has the whole case to…
It should also be Bluetooth. Which is annoying to pair but easier to put on. My guess is that people would put the keyboard on when they need it instead of putting in case.
This made me realise how much I'd love a physical keyboard on my phone. But not like this, this is too long and I don't think one will have a pleasant typing experience with this. I thought about this one for a few minutes, but I can't think of a good way to integrate a keyboard in a smartphone case, that will give you the experience of a blackberry or similar. The slide-out ones that you could use in horizontal orie…
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy add on keyboard, on a whim, to see if it would work with my iPhone. It sits over the screen where the onscreen keyboard is situated. On eBay it said “Bluetooth” but had no obvious signs of charging. Didn’t work with the iPhone. Next hypothesis was something clever with NFC. Nope. Zero electronics. The reverse of the PCB has pads that fit over regions on the screen. On the front of the…
Do you have a model/name/link of this? I'm having a hard time following the description but it sounds like it sits on top of part of the screen? What happens when you fullscreen a video or otherwise don't have the keyboard up?
I wonder if there is room for a battery behind the keyboard?

It clips on the front of the phone. Has a small magnet that presumably triggers the onscreen keyboard to show and resize the visible screen.
