Typo Products Typo Keyboard Case for iPhone 5/5s
When the iPhone launched in 2007, there was a vocal contingent that derided the handset for its lack of a physical keyboard. Fast forward seven years, and although much of that talk has died down, some iPhone users still want real keys. Enter Typo Products’ Typo Keyboard Case for iPhone 5/5s ($99). Famously funded by Ryan Seacrest, the plastic slider case adds a BlackBerry-style Bluetooth 3.0 keyboard to the bottom of the iPhone. The chiclet-style keys are small, but may feel comfortable to those who’ve used similar devices before. In addition to a full QWERTY layout, there are secondary functions on almost all of the keys, and the iPhone’s covered Home button is remapped to a key at the bottom right corner. There’s also a key backlight built in, which can be toggled on or off. A micro-USB cable is included for charging Typo’s 180 mAh battery, but no specific claims are made as to its longevity between recharges.
iPhone keyboard cases aren’t a total novelty. The earliest models came out at the end of 2010 — ThinkGeek’s TK-421 Mobile Keyboard Case doesn’t look anything like Typo, but offered similar functionality. After that, there were sliders, including NUU’s MiniKey, among others. None were set up in portrait orientation, though, and none left the keys permanently exposed.
Compared to all the cases that’ve come before it, Typo is certainly the slimmest, with the fewest moving parts. The hard, matte plastic case slides on from the top and bottom; the top cap leaves the buttons and side switch exposed, while the bottom piece contains the keyboard, and covers the Home button. It adds a little less than an inch to the overall height of the iPhone, while leaving an opening that provides access to the speaker, microphone, Lightning, and headphone ports. Apple’s official connectors are most suitable for the rather tight spaces. You’ll find the micro-USB port at the bottom of the case’s left edge.
The keyboard itself runs the width of the iPhone, and is just a little over an inch tall, from the upper border of the top row down to the bottom of the space bar. Pending lawsuit aside, it’s evident the keyboard was at least inspired by certain BlackBerry handsets, such as the Bold 9000. Each of the keys has an inward-facing, raised swoop, and the F and J keys have small bumps to help you find them without looking. Other keys include backlight control, Bluetooth pairing, on-screen keyboard, and Home. While the last of those mostly replaces the otherwise covered button on the face of the iPhone, Touch ID functionality is completely blocked on the 5s.
After a easy pairing process — hold down the Bluetooth button with the appropriate Settings menu open, and tap on the “Typo Keyboard” listing that appears — Typo is ready to go. To conserve battery, it’ll automatically shut off after a few minutes of not typing, but pressing any of the keys will wake it back up in a matter of seconds. From there, the physical keys can be used systemwide, although the design isn’t conducive to landscape-oriented apps.
Having never been BlackBerry users, we can’t make a direct comparison to that typing experience. However, after a few hours of using Typo, we found ourselves rather comfortable with the physical keys. After getting used to the size and setup, our typing became pretty efficient. While it was a little slower than with the virtual keyboard, we must acknowledge that we’ve been using that system for almost seven years, and this one for about seven days. Typo did some smart things with the software to improve the experience. For example, holding down any letter key will insert the capitalized version of that letter, eliminating the need to press shift first. Double-clicking the space bar inserts a period at the end of a sentence, and apostrophes are automatically added to contractions. While the full auto-correct system isn’t enabled, these features are still more than we’re used to when it comes to physical keyboards paired with iOS.
Despite the positive aspects, there are a few downsides to using Typo. We’re OK with the feel of the keys, but the click-click-click that goes along with typing can be annoying. Having to rely on modifier keys to access numbers, punctuation, and the like isn’t terrible, but it’s not as great of a solution as having alternate software keyboards. There’s the obvious Home button-blocking issue, but the way the remapped key functions is somewhat odd. When pressed, it takes you directly to the Home screen, rather than the Lock screen. If there’s a passcode enabled on your phone, that’ll come up first. It can still be double-clicked for the app switcher, or held down for Siri, but it’s not a perfect replication. And of course, there’s the lack of landscape support.
We unquestionably prefer Typo’s design over any other iPhone keyboard case. It’s much less obtrusive, and we found it to work quite well. After a few days of testing, we weren’t sold on switching over though; we still preferred the on-screen keyboard. For BlackBerry users looking to make the switch over to iOS, or those who otherwise demand real keys, it’s the closest anyone’s come to the right tool for the job. Many iPhone users will likely find it unnecessary, especially those who have been using the handset for a long period of time. The price is high, considering competing models go for about half as much. This is partially forgivable because of the more compact size, but not entirely. And then, of course, there’s the complete blockage of Touch ID. Taking all these factors under consideration, Typo earns a limited recommendation. While it’s a good typing experience, the price is too high, and it forces too many sacrifices for what is already a niche product.

First Look: Typo Bluetooth keyboard case for iPhone 5 and 5s [u]
AppleInsider is supported by its audience and may earn commission as an Amazon Associate and affiliate partner on qualifying purchases. These affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content.
After nearly a month of hype, the Ryan Seacrest-backed Typo keyboard is nearing release and AppleInsider had a chance to spend some hands-on time with the device ahead of its launch later in January.
Update: Typo has reached out and informed AppleInsider that the production model will indeed add a bit of extra room just below the iPhone’s screen for swipe-up Control Center access. The additional 1.7mm should be enough to fit the tip of a finger, thereby granting access to all iOS 7 functions.
For those who have handled a legacy BlackBerry, or the Canadian company’s new Q10 smartphone, Typo’s design will be familiar (too familiar for BlackBerry, which is suing Typo for alleged patent infringement). But that’s the point.
Typo isn’t looking to trail-blaze a path toward a new and unique mode of input. Quite the opposite. The idea is to resurrect the physical QWERTY smartphone keyboard in a world dominated by all-screen devices made popular by Apple’s iPhone.
Whether Typo can pull off such a heady feat is up to consumers, but that the product even exists proves there is a market for iPhone users who long for BlackBerry-style clicky keys.
Typo is small, light and well-built. Attaching it to an iPhone 5 or 5s is as simple as pulling the case apart, sliding in the phone and slipping the parts back together. Inside, Typo is designed to tight tolerances, keeping the iPhone firmly in place.
The plastic casing wrapping around the iPhone’s body is relatively thick and has a non-slip soft-touch finish on both sides.
Typo’s design includes generous-sized cutouts for power, volume and mute controls, as well as complete access to the iPhone’s speaker, microphone, Lightning port and headphone jack. What is obscured, however, is the home button — arguably the most important physical control on the iPhone.
Which brings us to Typo’s first obvious drawback: elimination of TouchID. While the unit has a dedicated home button replacement located at its bottom-right corner, the key does not include Apple’s fingerprint-reading technology. This means users who lock their phones with passwords instead of numbers will have to type in their code on Typo, switch unlock methods or turn off the security function altogether.
On the plus side, pressing any key on Typo — even after it enters sleep mode — automatically powers up the device and bypasses the usual lock screen to bring up the passcode entry prompt. Pressing the iPhone’s power button will wake the device to its default lock screen for viewing of notifications.
Overall build quality is high, though we did have a slight issue with the keyboard module. Typo has left a small gap between the screen and the keyboard housing. Unlike the rest of the case, the QWERTY plastic here is thin and flexible, likely to accommodate the internal battery and communications circuitry. This results in a noticeable bowing when typing on the upper rows of keys. While not a deal breaker, it makes the device feel less sturdy than an integrated keyboard.
In use, Typo is reminiscent of older BlackBerry devices.
One of Typo’s strong suits is that it allows complete unobstructed access to the screen. Instead of thumbs hovering over a virtual keyboard, users are able to see more of an email or message thread. Of course, switching to landscape mode makes Typo nearly useless unless it is removed and used remotely, but the same can be said of lauded BlackBerry designs.
The device also sports backlit keys, which can be toggled on and off to save juice. Battery life is pegged at an impressive 14 days, but the facTypo is yet another device to charge up via the included micro-USB connector.
In our tests, which included a variety of text edit, email and messaging apps, we found the unit to be extremely responsive with no latency between key press and text entry. Even under a “stress test,” which consisted of pressing a single key as fast as possible, Typo exhibited zero lag. Basically, the device worked as good or better than most full-size Bluetooth keyboards on the market.
Typo is an interesting product. In many ways it fits the “on-the-go” accessory category and is perfect for shooting out quick emails and texts. But as a semi-permanent add-on meant to stay attached to an iPhone for extended periods, it feels too bulky. The design also makes concessions in utility.
While we were aware that the home button would be “relocated,” something we did not anticipate was restricted access to iOS 7’s Control Center. With the keyboard installed, it is nearly impossible to perform the swipe-up gesture activating the feature, which leaves control of Wi-Fi, orientation lock, Bluetooth and other system functions buried in the Settings app.
From our experience thus far, Typo is one of the better Bluetooth iPhone keyboard solutions on the market, but is by no means perfect. Key feel is good, the materials are solid and text input is extremely fast.
That being said, Typo is not for everyone. The accessory’s design adds a substantial “chin” to the iPhone, throwing it off balance when typing while adding nearly an inch in length. Also, using Typo will add yet another device to the list of gadgets that need recharging. Most vexing for us, however, is the nullification of TouchID, which has made securing our iPhone 5s an unthinking task and will presumably provide a basis for future Apple services.
For die-hard physical keyboard fans and BlackBerry converts, Typo could be the answer you’ve been waiting for. For everyone else, Apple’s virtual multitouch solution is likely a better bet.
Review: Typo Keyboard Case for iPhone 5
Despite the popularity of touch-screen smartphones, some BlackBerry users have clung to their phones equipped with tactile keyboards. For those reluctant to let go of their BlackBerry, Typo Keyboard is here to help with the transition to a touch screen.
Typo is actually a cellphone case, currently available for the iPhone 5 and 5s, with a wireless keyboard on the bottom. The entrepreneurs behind the concept are hoping to make life easier for those who desire the functions and apps on the iPhone but also like hammering out an email on a keyboard.
The case, which can be ordered from the company’s website for $99 for shipping in February, is surprisingly slim yet sturdy, adding little bulk to the iPhone. Inside is a tiny lithium-ion battery, only 1 millimeter thick. The keyboard covers the bottom of the phone, but the ports are still accessible. And setup, via Bluetooth, was easy.
The keys are laid out in typical Qwerty fashion, with alternate keys for capitalization, numbers and symbols. The iPhone’s home button is covered, but Typo includes a button that returns your phone to its home screen, as well as one that lights up the keyboard.
The buttons are relatively easy to push, especially for people who are familiar with BlackBerry devices. I gave up my BlackBerry for an iPhone years ago, so going back to a physical keyboard presented a bit of a challenge. After a few texts, though, my thumbs became more agile. But Typo has no trackpad, so I still had to use the touch screen. And there is no autocorrect, or even a send button, which didn’t make texting any faster for me.
Typo Keyboard has garnered a lot of interest since its inception, mostly because it is backed by the celebrity host Ryan Seacrest and the company is facing a lawsuit from BlackBerry. But the unfortunately named device, which suggests a typographical error, needs some refinement before it deserves the attention it’s drawing.

Typo case marries an iPhone 5s and a BlackBerry Q10, with Ryan Seacrest officiating (hands-on)
Why Typo, of all the names for a smartphone keyboard? The company answers the obvious question with a Wikipedia quote.
A typographical error (often shortened to typo) is a mistake made in the typing process … The term includes errors due to mechanical failure or slips of the hand or finger.
Well, yeah, sure, but that doesn’t really answer the question we — oh, wait, there’s more: “For many of us at Typo, typing on our iPhones is a slow, tedious one- or two-finger affair. Our desire is to avoid making Typos by using the Typo Keyboard.” Ah, so you named it “Typo” because you want people to use it to not make typos — sort of a reverse Orwellian doublethink approach to product naming. You know, like the MacBook Backpain. The Typo harnesses Ryan Seacrest’s deep pockets to the tune of $1 million, in order to address an issue that hardly anyone seems to talk (read: complain) about anymore: the death of the smartphone keyboard.
For the American Idol host, it’s a problem big enough so as to require a low seven-figure investment. And while we could certainly spend the day pondering precisely how much it might have cost for the television personality to purchase a controlling share in troubled QWERTY enthusiasts BlackBerry, we’ll instead focus on where the money ended up. Simply put, the Typo is a case that snaps onto your iPhone 5 or 5s, adding a full QWERTY keyboard to the bottom. It’s not the first keyboard case we’ve seen for the iPhone, though past models have largely stuck to a slider form factor, letting you type in landscape mode and stash the thing out of view when you’re not using it.
The Typo, on the other hand, adds the keyboard to the bottom of the device, a decision that drew immediate comparisons to BlackBerry handsets the moment it was unveiled (not to mention a recent lawsuit). And the similarities aren’t fleeting. The pad looks remarkably like the one you find on the Q10, right down to the thick white lines separating the rows and the beveled keys for speedy touch-typing. There are some issues with the placement — for starters, there’s the fact that it completely covers the iPhone’s large home button, though Typo’s fixed this with the addition of a small button with a square icon in the bottom right-hand corner, so you don’t have to pull the case off every time you need to exit out of a program.
What the company can’t really fix, however, is the nearly one inch it adds to the iPhone’s already long, skinny body. In fact, the press material notes that the final version of the hardware will actually be 1.7 millimeters taller than the beta version we tried out. The other big issue is also pretty clear after analyzing the Typo for a second: The phone is really, really top heavy. Look at how Dana’s holding it in that lead image. That’s no coincidence. She’s propping up the back, due to the really weird center of gravity the case creates. And because it’s not a slider, you’ll have to deal with that keyboard sticking out any time you want to, say, play a game in landscape mode. The upside, as Typo notes, however, is that the removal of the virtual keyboard means you’ve got a lot more screen real estate for typing.
The case’s build quality is actually pretty nice, overall. It has a matte black, soft-touch back, akin to a Mophie, that feels fairly good and offers some tracking for your fingers during that inevitable cradling. The Bluetooth pairing process is pretty straightforward as well. We managed to accomplish that in less than a minute, with the space bar showcasing a nice glowing blue light to let you know when things are ready. The keys are pretty decent — not quite BlackBerry-level, but a lot nicer than other keyboards we’ve tried, and while there’s a bit of a learning curve, that’s to be expected for any new device keyboard.
There’s also a button for backlighting. That’ll likely have an effect on battery life, though with the week of active use you’re supposed to get on a single charge, you’ll probably be all right. And when the battery is about ready to go, you’ll see yet another light warning you that it’s time for a charge. There are holes for access to the necessary buttons and ports, with a micro-USB socket on the left side to charge the keyboard.
All of that will run you $99 when the Typo goes live on the 13th. The case does what it claims, but like the Q10 itself, this feels like an instance of too little too late, as so many of those BlackBerry loyalists who were eagerly awaiting a new device with a decent keyboard eventually jumped ship out of frustration, only to realize that a virtual keyboard wasn’t quite so bad as they’d imagined. If you continue to die a little every time you type on your iPhone’s screen, perhaps this thing is worth a look.

Typo iPhone cases & covers –
Typo iPhone Keyboard Case | Laptop Mag
Fans of physical keyboards often make do by juggling a separate iPhone and BlackBerry. But Typo hopes to bridge that gap, and end iOS auto-correct frustration, with its $99 keyboard case. Backed by Ryan Seacrest (yes, that one), the Typo case has already inspired a lawsuit from BlackBerry. But does this accessory really live up to the hype?
Design
If you’ve seen a BlackBerry, you know what the Typo’s keyboard looks like. From its three silver, horizontal frets running the length of the keyboard to the color and shape of the keys, the Typo’s keyboard is a dead ringer for one of BlackBerry’s units.

Click to EnlargeThe Typo Keyboard Case comes in two pieces that slide together around the iPhone. The top half looks like any other iPhone 5 or 5s case, covering the handset’s edges and back while offering openings for the rear camera, power button and volume buttons. The star of the show, the Typo’s keyboard, sits on the bottom half of the case below the iPhone’s screen.
Unfortunately, the Typo case blocks the iPhone’s Home button. That’s particularly an issue for iPhone 5s users, as the case blocks the handset’s Touch ID sensor. Typo added a dedicated Home button to the bottom left corner of the keyboard, but Touch ID remains obscured. On the keyboard’s left edge is a micro USB port for recharging the case. Under the Typo is a large opening for the iPhone’s speakers, and channels for the Lighting connector and headphone cable.
The Typo measures 5.6 x 2.4 x 0.52 inches and weighs 1.4 ounces, bringing the 3. 95-ounce iPhone 5s’ total weight to 5.35 ounces. Fortunately, the weight doesn’t feel concentrated near the keyboard; rather, it’s dispersed across the handset. Unlike the BlackBerry keyboards that it emulates, the Typo’s keyboard is relatively narrow, which means your hands may feel cramped while typing.
Setup
Installing the Typo keyboard is easy enough. Simply slide your iPhone into the top section of the case, then slip the bottom portion on. Push the two ends together to make sure they are properly connected and secure. To pair the Typo with your iPhone, open the Settings app and turn on Bluetooth.
Enable Bluetooth discovery on the Typo by holding down the Bluetooth button on the keyboard until the blue light on the space bar flashes. Tap the Typo keyboard when it appears in your list of paired Bluetooth devices, and the two devices will be paired. To turn off the keyboard, you can either un-pair it from your iPhone or just turn off your Bluetooth connection.
Features
Click to EnlargeTypo uses all of the existing iPhone keyboard shortcuts, including double tapping the space button to enter a period, as well as capitalizing the first word after the end of a sentence. In terms of special buttons, you get a Bluetooth key for pairing the device with your handset, as well as a button to activate the keyboard’s backlight. A keyboard button lets you pull up or hide the iPhone’s on-screen keyboard.
Performance
Unlike the wider BlackBerry handsets, the Typo’s narrow design made typing for long periods uncomfortable. We found ourselves constantly readjusting the case in our hands to find an easier, more comfortable way to hold it. The keyboard’s keys are also far smaller than the iPhone’s on-screen keys, which meant we had to be more accurate with our typing. It also doesn’t help that the keys feel cheaper and stickier than what you’ll find on a BlackBerry layout.
To test the keyboard’s performance, we downloaded the TapTyping app. As we became more acclimated with the keyboard, we saw our accuracy increase from 96 percent to 99 percent and our speed increase from 20 words per minute to 28 wpm. We were less accurate on the iPhone’s keyboard, with our accuracy ranging from just 95 percent at first, to 96 percent after practice.
That said, our words per minute were still higher when we used the iPhone’s on-screen keyboard, increasing from 20 wpm to 34 wpm over a couple of days. That’s likely a result of how easy it is to reach the iPhone’s delete key compared to the Typo’s. We also noticed that the Typo’s backspace and L keys were too close, which resulted in several typos during use.
Further Considerations
Beyond its design and performance, there are two additional considerations to take into account if you’re thinking of purchasing the Typo case. First off, when paired, the keyboard turns off the iPhone’s auto-correct feature, which can be a serious issue for users who make frequent typos. Secondly, there is no lock for the Typo’s keyboard, which means if you accidentally tap a key while it’s in your pocket, your iPhone’s screen will be activated, draining both your handset and the keyboard’s batteries.
Verdict
Click to EnlargeThe Typo’s design offers current and former BlackBerry users a familiar look, but that’s about it. Typing on the $100 case’s keyboard is slower and less comfortable than using the iPhone’s on-screen keyboard. Plus, the fact that the Typo lacks a lock means you’ll be activating your iPhone’s screen whenever you accidentally tap a key, which could quickly zap your phone’s battery. If you’re looking for an iPhone-compatible replacement for your BlackBerry’s physical keyboard, the Typo is worth a look, but the typing experience isn’t quite good enough for us.
Typo iPhone keyboard case review
“The Typo keyboard is a great idea, but in its current form, typing on it is more stressful than putting up with the iPhone’s cramped touchscreen.

- Charging cable has Micro USB and Lightning

- Cramped keys due to portrait orientation
- Requires its own separate charger
- Keys feel plasticky
Typing on the iPhone isn’t fun. We’ve all gotten used to it, but its screen is exceedingly thin and even the best thumb typers make a lot of mistakes. Flip phones weren’t any better with their T9 screens, but before the iPhone shifted the smartphone market toward touch, many high-end phones had BlackBerry-style physical keyboards. Ryan Seacrest misses those days. To bring back the past, he helped raise money, start a company, and create the Typo. It’s a case for the iPhone that adds a full QWERTY keyboard to Apple’s buttonless screen.
We’ve been using the Typo on and off for a few weeks. It slips onto your iPhone in two pieces, like many cases, and the keyboard covers up your Home button, giving you a very long iPhone.
I like keyboards, and still lament the day I had to give up the nice slide-out QWERTY on the original Motorola Droid, but the Typo isn’t for me. It’s a solid little keyboard in many respects, and possibly the thinnest keyboard attachment I’ve ever seen, but it has a few nagging issues.
Home button blues
Pairing the Typo via Bluetooth was easy enough, but it’s difficult to get used to not having a Home button, which the Typo covers. The first time I tried to pair it, I already had it on the iPhone, which rendered me without a Home button at all.
After some investigating, I discovered that there is a small Home button on the Typo, but it’s a tiny little button in the lower right – no bigger than any other key. I’d often forget where it is, or press the wrong button in a pinch. You press the Home button more than almost anything else on an iPhone. Optimally, a keyboard like this needs to incorporate the Home button into a more prominent, easy-to-press, space.
That cramped, carpal-tunnel feeling
If Apple’s touch keyboard is tough to type on because of its size, then the Typo is maddening. Because it attaches to the bottom of the iPhone in vertical orientation, it’s still cramped in by the thinness of the iPhone. The buttons are very small, and very plasticky. The keys have a snap like a BlackBerry keyboard has, but without a little more width to spread the keys out, it’s difficult to type accurately. Ironically, using the Typo lead to a dramatic increase in my own typos.
Because the Typo attaches to the bottom of an already long phone, when you type, the device is very top heavy, which could lead to some falls.
It needs power, but doesn’t like to share
Perhaps the worst part about the Typo (at least in its prototype phase), is that you have to charge it separately from your phone. Unlike a Mophie Juicepack-like case, the Typo doesn’t plug directly into your Lightning connector. Instead, it runs on its own internal battery for power. My unit came with a very cool charging cable that could convert between a Lightning charger (for iPhone) and Micro USB (for Typo), but the cable didn’t allow you to charge both your keyboard and phone at once.
Without a way to dual-charge, there’s a good chance you’ll forget to top off your keyboard and it will die on you in the wild, leading to a particularly nasty situation where you’d have to revert to touch typing.
It’s just not there yet
I’d love a good physical keyboard for the iPhone (or an Android), but the Typo isn’t it – at least, not yet. If it could charge with your iPhone, had a better place Home button, and a little more breathing room around the keys, it might be worth the investment, but for its planned $100 price, only die hard keyboard lovers with a lot of disposable income should dare. The Typo will be available beginning Jan. 13.

First Look: Typo Bluetooth keyboard case for iPhone 5 and 5s [u]
After nearly a month of hype, the Ryan Seacrest-backed Typo keyboard is nearing release and AppleInsider had a chance to spend some hands-on time with the device ahead of its launch later in January.
Update: Typo has reached out and informed AppleInsider that the production model will indeed add a bit of extra room just below the iPhone’s screen for swipe-up Control Center access. The additional 1.7mm should be enough to fit the tip of a finger, thereby granting access to all iOS 7 functions.
For those who have handled a legacy BlackBerry, or the Canadian company’s new Q10 smartphone, Typo’s design will be familiar (too familiar for BlackBerry, which is suing Typo for alleged patent infringement). But that’s the point.
Typo isn’t looking to trail-blaze a path toward a new and unique mode of input. Quite the opposite. The idea is to resurrect the physical QWERTY smartphone keyboard in a world dominated by all-screen devices made popular by Apple’s iPhone.
Whether Typo can pull off such a heady feat is up to consumers, but that the product even exists proves there is a market for iPhone users who long for BlackBerry-style clicky keys.
Typo is small, light and well-built. Attaching it to an iPhone 5 or 5s is as simple as pulling the case apart, sliding in the phone and slipping the parts back together. Inside, Typo is designed to tight tolerances, keeping the iPhone firmly in place.
The plastic casing wrapping around the iPhone’s body is relatively thick and has a non-slip soft-touch finish on both sides.
Typo’s design includes generous-sized cutouts for power, volume and mute controls, as well as complete access to the iPhone’s speaker, microphone, Lightning port and headphone jack. What is obscured, however, is the home button — arguably the most important physical control on the iPhone.
Which brings us to Typo’s first obvious drawback: elimination of TouchID. While the unit has a dedicated home button replacement located at its bottom-right corner, the key does not include Apple’s fingerprint-reading technology. This means users who lock their phones with passwords instead of numbers will have to type in their code on Typo, switch unlock methods or turn off the security function altogether.
On the plus side, pressing any key on Typo — even after it enters sleep mode — automatically powers up the device and bypasses the usual lock screen to bring up the passcode entry prompt. Pressing the iPhone’s power button will wake the device to its default lock screen for viewing of notifications.
Overall build quality is high, though we did have a slight issue with the keyboard module. Typo has left a small gap between the screen and the keyboard housing. Unlike the rest of the case, the QWERTY plastic here is thin and flexible, likely to accommodate the internal battery and communications circuitry. This results in a noticeable bowing when typing on the upper rows of keys. While not a deal breaker, it makes the device feel less sturdy than an integrated keyboard.
In use, Typo is reminiscent of older BlackBerry devices. Key presses are crisp and the silver colored cross-bars offer just enough space to delineate rows. After a short time, we were able to commit to thumb-touch-typing thanks to the partially sculpted keys. Layout is nearly identical to a QWERTY BlackBerry, with buttons pulling double duty as number and symbol keys via an ALT function. A button located near the space bar conveniently brings up the iOS keyboard for special situations, like emoji or international character input.
One of Typo’s strong suits is that it allows complete unobstructed access to the screen. Instead of thumbs hovering over a virtual keyboard, users are able to see more of an email or message thread. Of course, switching to landscape mode makes Typo nearly useless unless it is removed and used remotely, but the same can be said of lauded BlackBerry designs.
The device also sports backlit keys, which can be toggled on and off to save juice. Battery life is pegged at an impressive 14 days, but the facTypo is yet another device to charge up via the included micro-USB connector.
In our tests, which included a variety of text edit, email and messaging apps, we found the unit to be extremely responsive with no latency between key press and text entry. Even under a “stress test,” which consisted of pressing a single key as fast as possible, Typo exhibited zero lag. Basically, the device worked as good or better than most full-size Bluetooth keyboards on the market.
Typo is an interesting product. In many ways it fits the “on-the-go” accessory category and is perfect for shooting out quick emails and texts. But as a semi-permanent add-on meant to stay attached to an iPhone for extended periods, it feels too bulky. The design also makes concessions in utility.
While we were aware that the home button would be “relocated,” something we did not anticipate was restricted access to iOS 7’s Control Center. With the keyboard installed, it is nearly impossible to perform the swipe-up gesture activating the feature, which leaves control of Wi-Fi, orientation lock, Bluetooth and other system functions buried in the Settings app.
From our experience thus far, Typo is one of the better Bluetooth iPhone keyboard solutions on the market, but is by no means perfect. Key feel is good, the materials are solid and text input is extremely fast.
That being said, Typo is not for everyone. The accessory’s design adds a substantial “chin” to the iPhone, throwing it off balance when typing while adding nearly an inch in length. Also, using Typo will add yet another device to the list of gadgets that need recharging. Most vexing for us, however, is the nullification of TouchID, which has made securing our iPhone 5s an unthinking task and will presumably provide a basis for future Apple services.
For die-hard physical keyboard fans and BlackBerry converts, Typo could be the answer you’ve been waiting for. For everyone else, Apple’s virtual multitouch solution is likely a better bet.
iPhone Keyboard Maker ‘Typo’ Ordered to Pay BlackBerry $860,000
Typo Products, a company that developed a BlackBerry-esque keyboard case for the iPhone, must pay BlackBerry $860,000 for continuing to sell its Typo case despite being ordered to cease sales in March.
The Typo keyboard was first announced in December of 2013 and was backed by media personality Ryan Seacrest (of American Idol fame). Seacrest reportedly invested $1 million into the product, which was the result of a desire to introduce a physical keyboard for the iPhone.
According to Seacrest and his partner Lauren Hallier, they saw many of their friends carrying two phones — one for typing and correspondence, presumably a Blackberry, and an iPhone for everything else. The keyboard that the duo developed, which snapped onto an iPhone, bore a marked resemblance to BlackBerry’s signature keyboards, a fact that did not go unnoticed by the company.
Original Typo iPhone case next to the BlackBerry Q10
Just a month after the Typo keyboard was announced, BlackBerry filed a lawsuit accusing Typo Products of “blatantly” copying the BlackBerry keyboard and infringing on BlackBerry patents. A judge agreed with BlackBerry, handing down the aforementioned injunction that banned the Typo from selling its keyboards, despite Typo’s argument that it was not harming BlackBerry as BlackBerry was already losing market share.
Typo ignored the injunction and continued selling its Typo keyboard cases, leading BlackBerry to file a contempt of court order in August, which resulted in today’s $860,000 fine. BlackBerry had initially asked for $2.6 million in penalties, plus attorneys’ fees for the violation.
In addition to continuing to sell the original keyboard case, Typo Products introduced the Typo2 keyboard for the iPhone 6 in December of 2014, which it says does not infringe on any BlackBerry patents. Typo2 features a sleeker design with a built-in keyboard that unfortunately blocks the Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the iPhone 6. Typo’s website currently sells Typo2 keyboards for both the iPhone 5/5s and the iPhone 6.
Typo2 for iPhone 6
In response to the fine levied against it, a Typo representative told Re/code that the ruling is “part of the ongoing patent litigation related to the initial Typo product” and that it “has no impact on the Typo 2.” A BlackBerry representative only had this to say: “The court’s order speaks for itself. ”
A Physical Keyboard for the iPhone
Ever since the iPhone debuted with its multi-touch interface, typing on glass has largely replaced the earlier method of typing on small plastic keyboards built into smartphones. The device most famous for its physical keyboard, the BlackBerry, has fallen out of favor, and the early Android models that included physical keyboards are much rarer today.
But some people who have switched to the iPhone from a BlackBerry still miss the tactile keys. They miss the rapid, fairly accurate, two-thumbs typing they mastered on their old phones. Some even go so far as to carry an aging BlackBerry along with their shiny new iPhones, primarily for email. Even those who type on glass all the time sometimes adjust by composing shorter emails, or by adding a signature line begging forgiveness in advance for typos and odd auto-corrections.
Now, a new company, Typo Products, is introducing a $99 iPhone case that comes with a built-in, backlit physical keyboard at the bottom edge. I’ve been testing the Typo keyboard, and can recommend it for physical keyboard die-hards. It has some trade-offs, and won’t likely appeal to most iPhone users who never became thumb-typing wizards. But those who miss physical keyboards will love this thing.
In fact, the company was launched by a Las Vegas taxi-advertising executive, with TV personality Ryan Seacrest, because both were strong fans of physical keyboards, and each was carrying two phones.
The Typo, which works only with the iPhone 5 or 5s, is a Bluetooth keyboard, and must be paired with the iPhone — one time only — before you first use it. I found this to be easy and quick.
It attaches physically easily, as well. It’s a two-piece case whose halves snap together in the middle. It has the usual holes to provide access to the phone’s buttons and for the camera. The company says the case provides some added protection for the phone, but isn’t primarily built for protection.
The keyboard itself is a four-row version, with sculpted keys that look and work much like a BlackBerry keyboard. In fact, BlackBerry has already sued Typo, claiming patent infringement. Typo says its product is “innovative” and doesn’t violate BlackBerry’s patents.
Once you set up the Typo, it takes over from the iPhone’s software keyboard anywhere text can be entered — email, texts, notes, etc. A key on the Typo can summon the software keyboard if you like.
The Typo also has a key to turn on backlighting, and another that mimics the behavior of the iPhone’s famous round home button, because — and here’s the first trade-off — unlike any other case I’ve seen, it covers the home button. The Typo’s substitute is a tiny key at the lower-right edge, so it isn’t as convenient as the real thing.
Oh, and on the iPhone 5s, you lose the use of the fingerprint-recognition feature, which is built into the home button, so you’re back to typing in passwords to log in to the phone. You don’t lose access to the Siri intelligent assistant, however. Holding down the Typo’s home key triggers it.
I found that the Typo does its job well. While I’m no thumb-typing Jedi, and have no problem with typing on glass, I was able to thumb-type pretty quickly and accurately on the Typo. A couple of former BlackBerry addicts I spoke with who had tried it were over the moon about it.
The Typo has some common auto-correction features built in, such as the ability to enter a period by hitting the space bar twice, and the smarts to auto-insert the apostrophe in words like “couldn’t” and “wouldn’t.” But Apple’s automatic spelling correction doesn’t work when it’s connected.
There are other keyboard cases for the iPhone. I haven’t tested them, but most have slide-out keyboards that hide away when not in use. The Typo’s keyboard is always ready to use, but it sits at the bottom of the phone’s long rectangular screen.
The good part about this design is that, unlike the virtual keyboard, it doesn’t take up any space on the screen. The bad part is that it adds about half an inch to the length of the phone, and makes it a bit harder to plug in headphones and power cords, whose sockets are now recessed beneath the protruding keyboard.
The Typo doesn’t draw its power from the phone’s battery, so it must be charged separately, with a separate cable. This can be an annoyance, but the company claims the keyboard will last one to two weeks between charges. In my shorter tests, it never ran out of juice.
Another trade-off: Because the keyboard’s top edge comes so close to the bottom edge of the screen, I found it made it hard to accurately tap on buttons and links that appeared on the display’s bottom edge.
In addition, there’s no key to initiate dictation. You have to bring up the virtual keyboard and tap the microphone key to dictate.
And the added length makes the whole iPhone a bit top-heavy, especially when typing, but I was able to adjust quickly by slightly changing my usual grip.
I ran into one bug. The keyboard wouldn’t work at all in the phone’s universal search bar until I rebooted the phone, as instructed by a Typo spokeswoman.
The company concedes that the Typo is a “niche” product, for a minority of iPhone users. I agree. But I also agree that, for that niche, this $99 case could well be a great deal.

How to set a password for launching applications in iOS 12
One of the important innovations in iOS 12 is Screen Time .Initially, this feature is intended for self-control, allowing you to set time limits for working with certain applications.
I doubt that all iPhone or iPad users will control themselves. Instead, the chip can be used to password-protect certain programs on the device.
Without a special code, it will not work to launch applications, isn’t that what we have been waiting for in iOS?
How to set a password for a group of applications in iOS 12
1. Go to Settings – Screen Time and select item Enable Screen Time .
2. Press below Use the password code and set a four-digit code, which will be used to block applications.
3. Go to section Settings – Screen time – Program limits .
4. Press Add limit and indicate the category of applications (social networks, games, etc.).
5. Set the usage limit – 1 minute , check the option Block at the end of the limit .
Application icons will be dimmed and a special symbol will be displayed next to the name.
Now after using any of the marked programs for 1 minute a day, the limit is activated. When launching the application, you will need to enter a four-digit code.
The limit can then be extended by 15 minutes, an hour or a day.
How to set a limit for a specific application in iOS 12
If setting a limit for an application group is not suitable, proceed as follows.
1. Turn on screen time and set up a four-digit password ( Settings – Screen Time – Use Passcode ).
2. Run any application that you want to password-protect (we use it for a couple of minutes), then return to the section Settings – Screen Time and click on the total time of use.
3. Below the usage graph, you will see frequently used programs, among which the one we need will be displayed.
4. Open the section for the application and press Add limit.
5. Set the limit to 1 minute and click Add .
Now the set limit will apply to only one application.
Of course, this is not a password for launching applications in its pure form.However, for many, this will be enough to protect confidential data in some programs on their smartphone.

The best option would be to contact a specialized service center (such as ours!), Where professionals can figure out why the error 1013 iPhone appeared during the firmware, where exactly the failure occurred and fix it as soon as possible.
You can try to fix the breakdown yourself. To do this, you must follow the following algorithm.First, download the new version of TinyUmbrella. In advanced settings, it is recommended to uncheck the Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit checkbox and accept the changes. Then press the Exit Recovery Mode button to enter recovery mode. Then you should restart your computer and try to restore again.
In this case, use RecBoot (aboutipad.ru/2010/05/25/257/) to enter / exit, respectively, from the recovery mode. Then start the RecBoot program. Use the cord to connect your iPhone to your computer and depending on what you want to do, press “Enter / Exit Recovery Mode”.If desired, RecBoot can be downloaded for Mac OS X or Windows free of charge. Finally, restart your computer and repeat the recovery again.

If not, we recommend updating, since often outdated databases can be one of the reasons why, when recovering, an unknown error 1013 iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5S, 5C gives out.The next step is to check if you have the latest Windows operating system, if not, then it is better to update it.
Also, when error 1013 iPhone 4, 4s occurs during firmware update, try restarting your computer and re-flashing using a different USB port. It is desirable that it is located on the back of the computer.
If the situation remains the same (during synchronization and updating, an unknown error 1013 iPhone 4, 4s gives out), then you need to contact a specialized service center.Where the masters with the help of special modern equipment will make primary diagnostics. Based on its results, it is possible to draw conclusions about what procedures will help eliminate troubles when, when connecting and flashing, an unknown error 1013 iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5, 5S, 5C gives out.
As a rule, restoration operations will take a minimum of your time and will give a high-quality result, since we work only with licensed iPhone software products and original components.
Complete Solution Fix iTunes Error 3014 While Restoring iPhone
Part 3: Other Solutions to Fix iTunes Error 3014
Solution 1. Bring iTunes up to date.
It’s a very simple thing, it’s a good idea to make sure your iTunes version is the latest version. If you’re not sure, just look at the screenshot below, which makes it clear to be sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.This is not every software favorite, but it’s best to make sure you have all the latest bells and whistles.
You may have seen this with other software.
In the Help menu, you can ask for an “update” to check.
Solution 2. Check your PC settings.
This communication, do you remember one from your computer to Apple’s servers? It may sound silly, it is usually automatic, but communication may not be because your computer and Apple cannot agree on how long.They both look at their watch but disagree. Please make sure the date, time, time zone is correct.
Hope the picture helps! You can just be happy!
Synchronize watch!
Solution 3. Update your OS.
Now we are getting a little more serious.
Most, recent versions of Windows will display a screen similar to this one.
It is accessed from the control panel.
Regardless of whether you are Windows PC, or completely Apple oriented, you should check that you have all the latest updates. If all Spanky are new, with a little bit of luck, all the different members will sing the same tune and your iPhone update will work.
Solution 4: Check your security software.
Many books have been written about solving this type of anti-virus problem.
We don’t know what to install antivirus / firewall for before you have it. The example we gave below is for Windows, its own built-in firewall. The firewall stops all entry and exit. This could be the reason for the breakdown in connection with Apple.
Make sure you have the latest version of your antivirus software.
Next, with the BIG WARNINGS sticker, you can take the risky step to turn off your firewall / antivirus software.It is there for a reason. It is there to protect your computer and that’s it, but it just sometimes seems necessary to take a risk and turn the firewall off.
Don’t take the chance, make sure you turn it back on!
Windows System and Security.
Solution 5. Are you connected?
It’s easy to overlook this, but you need to make sure your internet connection is stable.This is obviously the main factor in making a good connection to Apple’s servers. Make sure nothing is working so that iTunes can take full advantage of your available bandwidth.
Solution 6. Modify the hosts file.
It’s a little more difficult. We’ll take you through this, but you have to be sure of what you do. If you haven’t done something like this before, don’t forget to make a restore point on your system.
Step 1 Open Notepad.Then “open the file” and go to “C: WindowsSystem.32driversetc”.
Browse to find the ‘hosts.
You may have to ask to see “all files” in the dropdown at the bottom of the dialog box. You should be able to see the ‘hosts’ file.
When opened, it should look something like this.
