I'll throw in my two cents worth as well to agree with Sieghard and Richard. I understand if physical limitations makes an iPhone unusable but I'm skeptical that a device that substitutes a button interface for a touch screen one would be very helpful never mind the $299 USD price tag.

It does offer a micro and speaker so the sound is coming out of the little keyboardish device. But, if you have some finger dexterity but not enough to use a standard Bluetooth keyboard, I guess there might be some uses for this. It must be targeting a small market given that the price is rather high. Just my two cents worth, and it didn’t cost you anything, grin.

Utah Phillips From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2019 8:09 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen I think I heard about this before and maybe this is a newer version, but for the most part I am amazed at how much trouble people go to and how much money they spend to take away the strength of the iPhone or, for that matter, other advanced smartphones. I understand that there might be a few cases where a person for whatever reason can't touch the phone, e.g. if they are quadriplegic, have no hands etc. Apple and now Google have put a lot of very smart people to work to come up with this incredible way to make touchscreen devices extremely accessible, apps like Flicktype make typing very efficient with a bit of practice yet some people still think they are better off trying to avoid touching that screen as much as possible. Maybe I miss something here, but I just don't get it.
