Miss the days of punching those physical plastic keyboards on your BlackBerry? There could be some good news on its way with a new case launching for iPhone that brings back those keys. That means you get full qwerty buttons rather than using the screen to bash out emails or send WhatsApp messages.
This latest accessory has been created by the team at Clicks and is even being backed by US YouTube star MrMobile. The idea is very simple with owners simply slotting their device into the case with a connection automatically made via the USB-C or Lightning connecter tucked inside.
"Clicks takes the things you love most about the iPhone and makes them even better: more screen, new ways to create, and shortcuts that make you feel like you have superpowers," explained Michael Fisher, AKA MrMobile.
Meet the Clicks case (CLICKS)Once in place, the keyboard becomes active allowing you to type away without touching the screen. Along with making typing faster, there's another bonus as, without those on-display letters popping up, you also get more space to read and reply to emails or write documents on the move.
The keys even glow up at night making it easy to see what you are writing when the lights get low. According to its creators, the case doesn't affect battery life and its passthrough port even allows you to charge the iPhone without removing the keyboard.
