Spinning Mobile Keypads

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.
