Hideous. Steve Jobs would be turning in his grave. Why would you go and get an iPhone and then add a keyboard? It would be like buying a Bentley, adding a roof-rack and using it to take rubbish to the tip. Most of these ugly cases are bad enough, but this? What’s next? Duct-taping a 10 inch monitor to the top? Screw a mouse on? Ridiculous. Go and get a phone with a built-in keyboard if you really want one!!

I agree completely, except for you making the iphone out as a bentley, the ish!t is not that majestic. The iphone is more like some dub edition of an escalade with 24s someone is trying to take into the woods to go camping in for the analogy. The reason I compare the istuff to the caddy is: they are a dime a dozen, look nice but are not some top tier product except to the people who are brand loyal to it.

This Qwerty accessory seems to use the same principle as what was applied by Ericsson in the R380 smartphone, already 12 years ago. Please see the video of at 2:55 and http://en.wikipedia....i/Ericsson_R380
My guess is that the keypad of Ericsson was patented. So, I would not invest a penny until I can see Solomons explaining what the "patent pending" means in practice. I believe that an Ericsson patent is applicable also to Qwerty keyboards of accessories like the Spike TypeSmart.

In reply to your message: The Ericsson R380 does not use, as I'm sure you must be aware, a sensory capacitance (not the same as resistive!) touchscreen as is used in the "multi-touch" devices of today. You can't take a pencil and press that onto the iPhone screen and hope to have any effect as it is not pressure sensitive. The keys on our Spike keyboards do not push through to the screen as they do in the Ericsson, nor are they conductive – which is why you can use our keyboards with gloves. The backing of our keyboard is a smooth composite material. The technologies are not in any way even similar aside from the fact that "real" keys activate functions on a touch screen device. The technology used to do so is worlds apart, as should be expected from 12 years of technological evolution. Our patent, that was filed for our proprietary TypeSmart technology, applies to the way we interface with a capacitance touchscreen. Hope that clears things up! We'll take that penny now
