Want the functionality of a BlackBerry keyboard with the sleek form of an Apple tablet (without getting sued)? Place your pre-order now for the Phorm iPad mini case(Opens in a new window).
Marketed as the world’s first morphing touch screen, the Phorm’s physical keyboard emerges when you want to type, and reverts back to a smooth screen when you’re finished.
“In other words, it’s amazing,” the product website said.
Snap the case and screen cover onto your iPad mini, then just flip the rear switch whenever you need to write an email, type a report, or tweet about the latest Taylor Swift album.
Like magic, miniscule “Finger Guides” appear to allow the user to feel each letter on the keyboard, so you can ensure accuracy, instead of hoping autocorrect will do the work for you.
“Soon you’ll be typing fluently without even looking,” the Phorm site said.
No need for any added plugs or wires or wireless connections. There isn’t even an accompanying app; the case works will all native iOS functions and apps.
According to the company’s FAQ page, Phorm’s now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t functionality uses a small amount of fluid to bump up the screen protector and create Finger Guides. The fluid then retreats when you deactivate the slider.
Phorm is designed to work with all iPad mini models—from the latest mini 3 to the original mini.
U.S. residents can pre-order the Phorm now for $104 ($99 plus $5 shipping); the Slate Gray or Sky Gray accessory is expected to begin shipping this summer. It will be available in other countries after the initial pre-order campaign.
Make sure to let your friends know, since you’ll receive $10 back for every referral you make (up to 10 people).
An iPhone 6 Plus version appears to be in the works; interested folks can join the online waitlist.
