Does it interface with the charge port? This image doesn't show a charge plug. https://assets-global.website-files.com/6571c5a614be2a1a6376...
Yes it's in the video. Part of the pitch is "no bluetooth just plugs into your charging port".
The fake podcast promo video is.. Weird.

Slide out, now that’s a 2000s throw back!
I want to throw it back even further to a Sidekick honestly. I never got to experience having one and I'd love a modern phone that flips open like the Sidekick does.
However, one thing I'll continue missing from the Sidekick are the gaming controls. It had a horrible d-pad and buttons but at least it had them. They've been forced out of smartphones in the name of shaving off bezels and making the aspect ratio taller (eww). Give me a phone with a tiny d-pad and buttons please
I both love this and am horrified. It looks like it'd turn a Pro Max into a 9 inch tall phone. Since it's a case, you'd need a new one each phone upgrade. (I used to do this with the Apple battery cases, until I came to my senses and/or magsafe.) Although, I still occasionally long for the blind accuracy of the old Blackberry keyboard. I think I'd prefer an adjustable magsafe attached keyboard that can do either land…
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 help but I'd be worried about putting strain on the USB-C port while your hands are down on the keyboard. Again, the case will help but you are absolutely adding strain to the port, the whole phone's weight is on it aside from what the case can help relieve which can't be much since it's not rigid. It's "Liquid Silicon" but since the phone plugs into the USB-C/Lightning in the bottom you probably have to first plug the phone in, then pull the case over the top/sides of the phone meaning its ability to reduce strain is extremely limited
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.

Clearly, I'm not the audience for the branding, but a smart device I would be interested in if marketed for adults.

I could easily type blindly on those, the Nokia days
