    Funny how handset manufacturers keep on designing borderless devices you can’t pick up without interacting with, with unusable and frustrating touch-keyboards, and users of them keep creating cases with grip points, chins, and keyboards.

    Almost like the industry isn’t making what people want, and hasn’t in a long time.

    After all this time I’ve become so used to glide typing that I don’t see any value in this tool. But I guess there’s a market for it. So enjoy

    It’s amazing how everything goes full circle a few times in a single lifetime.

    Tbf, it would have been better if it was slide out, phones are already long enough, adding a keyboard to the bottom just makes them ridiculous to use.

      It must be awkward to hold and type with it all the way on the bottom. Like when tablets are bezeless and there’s no way to hold it without touching the touch screen.

      Slide out on the long length would be nice. like a little laptop.

        I have some rough sketches to build my own for an older pixel + a dac to have a jack back. But i never was able to find a flat cable usb c that would break out all wires. So i had to scrap the project unfortunately.

        Didn’t they make those like 20 years ago? Or ten? I don’t know. Sounds familiar. But it wasn’t a case, it was part of the phone itself.
