My brother bought an imitation of an Apple keyboard which had a very similar look and feel to the actual Apple product, except that the on/off button wasn't on the side but rather it was a switch located on the bottom. He says he got it a year ago from walmart's Web site but he didn't think they were still offering it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I remember us talking about the Logitech 
keyboard before, and I'm very tempted to get it. I was mostly trying to steer 
somebody else away from the Apple keyboard, especially if they were going to 
carry it around with them, for the reasons that both of us mentioned. That was 
the only thing I didn't like about the Apple keyboard, and I wanted to make 
sure that they knew what they were getting into before they went out and bought 
it. It's a great keyboard apart from that darn button.


Thanks,
Ari

Ari,

The Logitech K811 is just as nice as the Apple Wireless keyboard and it has
a nice low-profile slider switch on the right side which would never turn on
by accident. I think the issue with the Apple Wireless keyboard is not that
it looses battery since the battery lasts forever anyways, but if it does
turn on in a pack then also buttons get pressed so then I have to turn
Bluetooth off on the phone in order for my phone not to do stuff all the
time and of course that doesn't work so good if I am using a Bluetooth
headset.

I guess Apple does not necessarily consider the Apple Wireless keyboard to
be something people bring along, maybe you should send this to
accessibil...@apple.com so maybe in a future version of the keyboard they
get rid of the push button.

Keyboard

I like how it felt to type on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, but it's one
drawback for me, and it was a big one, is that it turned on with the press
of a button, not a switch.
This was a problem for me, as it meant that the keyboard kept getting turned
on in my bag, thus losing lots of vattery life.


Thanks,
Ari

If you can use something like the RII keyboard or other such devices about
the same size as your phone, then they can make sense. Also remember,
however, they are going to add some thickness and wait. I used the Boxwave
brand keyboard with an earlier iPhone 4s. It added about the phones
thickness and maybe half the phones wait. I just found that for as little as
I required a keyboard, the added bulk was not worth it.

Hello.
On Amazon's site I see that they offer several iPhone cases with attached
bluetooth keyboards.  I'm intrigued by the concept but wonder if these cases
are worth buying.  Specifically, are the keyboards easy to use?  Am I better
off just purchasing a wireless keyboard?
