Since the ancient times of 2007, when iPhones first graced our pockets, they stuck to their guns – or rather, lack of keys – no physical keyboard, just sleek and chic. But lo and behold, in strides Clicks, the brainchild of the YouTube sensation Michael Fisher and the legendary “CrackBerry Kevin,” ready to mess with the iPhone tradition. How, you ask? A $139 marvel called the Clicks case, slaps a QWERTY keyboard onto your iPhone.
This nifty case buddies up with your iPhone through the charging port, adding a bit of a booty, if you will. But fear not, you can still juice up your iPhone without playing the undressing game with the case. They’ve got it in two thrilling shades – “Bumblebee” yellow and “London Sky” gray – delivering that hit of nostalgia for the BlackBerry aficionados.
Now, why would you want to add some heft to your sleek iPhone? Well, it gives you more real estate to smash out emails and compose those oh-so-important docs, all from the comfort of your phone.
And it’s not just a keyboard – they threw in some shortcuts too! Like CMD+H to magically transport you to the home screen and CMD+Space for some serious searching action. Oh, and they’re cooking up a Clicks app to handle all these cool new keyboard functions.
According to the gospel of CrackBerry Kevin, they’ve gone the extra mile to make sure the keyboard feels just right. From the shape of the keys to that satisfying click sound – they’ve got your tactile experience covered.
Now, these Clicks magicians are set to unveil their creation at CES next week. If you’re itching to slap a slice of plastic and metal onto your swanky iPhone, you can already pre-order this bad boy for $139 on their website. They’re promising to start shipping these marvels out by February 1.
While iOS has been all about swiping and gesturing, there’s still a gang of die-hard physical keyboard fans out there. These folks have been wrestling with on-screen keyboards for over a decade.
