Placed in a spot that's straight up impossible to use while holding the device regardless of grip. Those keyboards are designed for the meat of your hand to be sitting right at the front bottom of the outside edge. They don't even sort of work with your hand several inches outside that. And they're equally impossible to awkwardly hold from underneath because the whole weight of the device is levered against you.
I don't think I've ever seen a device with more deranged ergonomics.
Yeah, I think making the keyboard slide out instead of the screen sliding up would have been better. Then make it smaller and make it a phone and I'd be sold.
I'd pay way more than is intelligent for a phone case for my 13 Pro Max that slid a keyboard out. I'd even give up wireless charging, which I love and have mounts for in a bunch of places.
But if you can't reach it, I'm not sure what the point is, lol.
I'd have suggested the Clicks keyboard case, but it doesn't slide out + supported iPhones are the 14 and up.
I don't own one though, only heard of it.
I've seen it. I want landscape like the old phones, though, personally. I can type well enough in portrait.
