At the end of 2013, a keyboard case called the Typo was unveiled as the “perfect” accessory for your iPhone 5/5s. Immediately after the unveiling, Typo came under fire from its obvious design inspiration, BlackBerry, and so some changes needed to be made for the inexorable sequel. And here we are.
While it was never a guarantee that the Typo 2 would come into existence, it always seemed like a sure thing. Now, several months after the launch of the original Typo, we have the Typo 2, and the most distinct thing about it is that it looks strikingly less similar to a BlackBerry keyboard this time around. It is still a physical keyboard that attaches to your iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s thanks to a full case, but some design changes have been made.
The Typo 2 keyboard case features Typo smart typing (which still seems like an odd name to go with), and so the keyboard will give you auto-capitalization when you need it, among other things. It’s also fitted with a battery indicator this time around, and you’ll be able to type in the dark easier than ever before thanks to a backlit keyboard.
Here’s the inspiration behind the Typo 2 keyboard case, right from the Typo website:
“Typo 2 was born out of a desire for efficiency. For several years, many of our friends and colleagues carried two phones: one for typing and correspondence and an iPhone for virtually everything else. One night, we were out to dinner and both had our phones on the table. Two people, four phones!“
The Typo 2 keyboard can be pre-ordered through the source link below, and it will cost you $99 to do so. The keyboard case will start shipping in mid-September, based on the website. At least that may miss the rumored launch date of the iPhone 6, now!
