QWERTY Keyboard For iPhone, For Real!
I’ve always had a problem with typing fast and accurately with my iPhone, and like most Indian users who use local lingo in our English messages; the auto dictionary for misspellings is no help. So it had to be a fellow Indian to come up with an alternate solution. A QWERTY Keyboard that slides over the iPhone, guarding its edges and syncing in well! The slick body docks in the phone and auto disables the virtual keyboard. An external jack hooks into place, at the bottom of the keys for charging the phone. These first batch of renders don’t do as much justice to the idea, but like all things Apple, I’m sure the nextgen will look better.
Materials-Polycarbonate (PC) /Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene(ABS), Carbon Steel for the slider rails.

Eric says
This is retarded. Why would you put a keyboard on an iPhone. The whole purpose of an iPhone is to use the touch screen. Totally useless design.
John says
When you hold this keyboard in the air it looks like it would break off. It also seems uncomfortable holding it. Multiple tasking would be nearly imposible since the home button is covered. Whoever designed this obviously never used an iPhone. Do some research before u design something.
Paul says
Seems the button is accessible when flap is open..
Not the best rendering though.
Kim says
no thank you
maxfisher says
humdinger, I would have bought myself. Nobody knows when it will come and at what price?
anon says
Seems like someone wants to turn an iPhone into a Blackberry instead of just buying a Blackberry. I also have to wonder about how small this would actually be – seems far too miniscule to actually contain any hardware.

ADD says
Just provide access to home button via one of the key from an added keypad…( or add extra key for it)
small chrome lining around a keypad which matches with iphone, could have provided integrated look..
good concept…

take a look on the industrial design definition…
Cody says
How about designing a case with two keyboards that slide out from underneath the iPhone. One for vertical, and one for horizontal.

The only issue i see with this design is the fact that Apple (when you make a case to sell) does not allow you to have any metal touching the metal band of the iPhone 4.

Who said the case was metal? May be metallic colour but could be plastic

To all the people who say "Just buy a blackberry" or something like that; No one is making you buy this device. Personally I would LOVE this, only for the fact that while I love absolutely everything else on my iphone 4, typing long emails as I used to on the blackberry bold is very difficult at times.

lotta says
Eric, you are SO wrong!!! Some of us actually NEED a physical keyboard for typing, for several reasons, that does not mean that we can’t enjoy all the wonderful features of an iPhone, using the touch screen for other things than typing! And, BTW, when you type using the touch method, you actually need physical keys to type precisely – as you “feel” your position on two keys on a keyboard and use these to help you navigate all the other keys. And most who type using the touch method, use a “modified” version when typing on a cell phone too, still needing a physical keyboard. If there wasn’t such a need, I think infrared keyboards for computers would have been a lot more popular, just think of not having to clean that keyboard, in between all those dang keys…
