gain I point out the keyboard case. For example, it holds my iPad in a holder which looks like a laptop. The typing keys are where you would expect them to be. The typing keys are Bluetooth. That's how they get to the iPad. The case can close like a laptop or it can lay with the iPad back on top of the typing keys. In this configuration, if you open an app such as email, the typing keys would appear on screen. So, in this case, you can have it all. Phisical keys or virtual. They have keyboard cases for all iPhones or iPads.
