TypeTop Swivel iPhone 4 Keyboard Rotates Into a Typing Stand

— March 1, 2011 — Tech
If you’re still not used to touchscreen keys, try the TypeTop Swivel iPhone 4 Keyboard. It is a must-have tactile accessory that will satisfy your fingers’ craving to faster-typing needs.

This keyboard case is similar to the previous TypeTop Bluetooth Mini, but boasts a swiveling design that will make your head spin. A hinge within the two-piece phone cover allows it to rotate in 360° degrees, allowing it to act as a mobile stand at the same time. With that, viewing videos and using FaceTime becomes a mini entertainment set. Even more convenient is that the QWERTY keypad won’t take away any of your phone’s power as there is a built-in rechargeable battery.

The slim TypeTop Swivel iPhone 4 Keyboard only adds 9mm to the overall thickness of your sleek device so you don’t have to worry about it being too bulky.
Trend Themes
1. Tactile Mobile Keyboards - Developing innovative mobile keyboards that provide a tactile typing experience for users who prefer physical keys, addressing the needs of those not accustomed to touchscreen keys.
2. Rotating Phone Accessories - Creating phone cases or accessories with rotating designs that offer multi-functionality, such as acting as a typing stand and allowing hands-free viewing.
3. Slim and Portable Keyboard Cases - Designing keyboard cases that are slim and lightweight, minimizing bulkiness while still providing the convenience of a physical keyboard to enhance typing speed.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Accessories - Opportunity for companies in the mobile accessories industry to develop and market innovative keyboard cases and accessories that cater to the needs of users who prefer physical keys on their devices.
2. Consumer Electronics - Disruptive innovation opportunity to create rotating phone accessories that offer multi-functionality and improved user experience, enhancing the overall value proposition of consumer electronic devices.
3. Technology Hardware - Innovative development of slim and portable keyboard cases that integrate seamlessly with smartphones, presenting an opportunity for technology hardware companies to enhance the usability of mobile devices.
