Tbf, it would have been better if it was slide out, phones are already long enough, adding a keyboard to the bottom just makes them ridiculous to use.

It must be awkward to hold and type with it all the way on the bottom. Like when tablets are bezeless and there's no way to hold it without touching the touch screen.

Slide out on the long length would be nice. like a little laptop.

I have some rough sketches to build my own for an older pixel + a dac to have a jack back. But i never was able to find a flat cable usb c that would break out all wires. So i had to scrap the project unfortunately.

Didn't they make those like 20 years ago? Or ten? I don't know. Sounds familiar. But it wasn't a case, it was part of the phone itself.

A case like that for a Galaxy S is exactly what I want.

Ten feels recent, but yeah I remember that being pretty common in the mid to late 00's

Nokia N950 was the best

A slide out case? That actually sounds pretty sweet
