Slimmed-Down Smartphone Keypads

The Kiano iPhone 4 Keyboard is Thin

Those with thicker fingers may not be too excited over the Kiano iPhone 4 Keyboard. Kiano's new add-on is the thinnest iPhone keyboard around, boasting an ultra-slim shape and a backlight.

The iPhone's lack of a physical keyboard is a small issue, but it's big enough that a small market of keyboards has appeared for those needing to feel something as they type. The Kiano iPhone 4 Keyboard brings the sensation of touch back to typing without compromising the minimalist and modern look of your phone. When not in use, the keyboard slides back into its case looking as if your smartphone is merely sporting an oversized case as opposed to an entire keyboard. The backlit feature of Kiano's design is an ingenious addition as any keyboard, no matter how small, is useless if not lit up in the dark.
