Rose, I'm with you. I have been using computers sense the days of Dos. Before that, I learned to type in grade school and I don't 'wanna tell ya how long ago that was! I like dictation on my iPhone 5s, and it works great for text messages, short notes, and from time to time, a personal log entry. What I'm saying here is, my first choice is to type it. A keyboard case gives me all the options I need.
