It's why somebody make this. They too were missing the keyboard
Oh the sweetest raspberry, mother of jam, What is this abomination?
Looong loooooong maaaaaaaaaaaan
This was hilarious 😭
Clicks.tech keyboard case of you really want to know
$139!
I need this to be a slider.
It looks so flimsy. The size of the keyboard compared to the screen feels like it would be nearly impossible to type on it with the thumbs comfortably and without the phone falling out of your hand.
Edit: Oh no, I just noticed that's a case. Than makes it even worse. I would not trust that thing to hold my phone in place.
I had a phone with a physical keyboard that small. Surprisingly easy to work with.
I remember this. Was it a kickstarter?
I can't find any mention of it being on Kickstarter, but here's an early promo for it:

How's your experience using it? Do you keep it always on? And does the phone seem too big?
