I have to admit that I was skeptical about the 4iPhones keypad even though it seemed like a good idea. Awesome as the iPhone is, the keypad is not at all easy to use so I figured the 4iPhones was at least worth a shot. And you know what? I’m actually happy with it! It’s easy to align and the instructions really were foolproof. It’s not intrusive and bulky at all like some of those add-on keyboards that people have been coming out with. It sits right over the keys and stays in place even if you’re heavy-fingered like I tend to be. And you can ‘feel’ the keys that you’re typing like you would on any other tactile keyboard so you can be a lot faster and way more accurate than with the iPhone’s touch screen on it’s own. 

It didn’t take me more than a few minutes to get used to it which was a bonus because I tend to get frustrated and give up easily! It comes in standard and landscape mode so you can choose whatever works for you. (I tend to prefer landscape myself). And it’s well under $20—another big bonus because it actually works so you really don’t have much to lose if you don’t like it for whatever reason. 

All in all I’m pretty surprised at what a great little gadget this turned out to be. I actually like my iPhone now that I can use it for what it was intended for which was texting and emailing.
