On: Clicks – Physical keyboard for iPhone

[zoom6628]

You are describing the BlackBerry passport. Other replies have some great ideas about magnetic keyboard. I was thinking why not Samsung Flip that splits the screen surface and uses rotating hinge so one side of the slab is screen or rotate for keyboard. That would be my ideal mobile. Success would come down to the strength and reliability of the hinge but this should be doable at a small increment in price.

That's a really smart idea, though probably not feasible if you want to have a borderless touchscreen when not using the physical keyboard.
