    I would love this if they made a slide-out version. Phones are gigantic already, adding another chin to them just makes them entirely unpocketable. The weird one here is the one for the Razr+. I daily a Razr+ and the whole reason is that it folds into a compact size, why would I add this thing to the bottom??

    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.

    I’ve seen multiple ppl review them and say they are complete shit.

    The lack of staggering between the rows would drive me nuts. Fuck that…

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

    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

    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 don’t text that often to buy a separate keyboard that makes the phone the size of the Eiffel tower.
