I’m really intrigued by the video, and the concept but why? 10 years ago I would have loved it, but this guy is wayyyyyy too long.

    Thing is, there have been variations of keyboard cases for almost every incarnation of the iPhone’s form factor. They’ve been floating around for a decade. I’d be shocked if this was finally the one that caught on.

      Fair … it’s not something I follow at all.

      Though, I have to say, whether because of age or just growing frustration … I fell like I’ve reached an impasse with typing on a smartphone where I just don’t want to do it anymore for anything longer than a line or so. In general, it definitely feels like UX in need of some creative reimagining to get it more right for this era of using a smartphone for more than sms and quick emails. And in that light, I couldn’t help but think “huh … maybe that’d work” about a physical keyboard.

      Personally I won’t knock it until I try it (having never used a blackberry)
