I have had my Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard now for several days. For a keyboard that set me back $26.99 and free shipping, I couldn't be happier. The keyboard is roughly 10 inches by 5 inches and less then 3/4 of an inch. I also bought the Adore June keyboard case. I was surprised that the keyboard case for 19 bucks plus change is actually made well. The outer cover is black canvas. It's a soft material and not rough like one would expect it to be. Inside the case is a soft material they call a kind of fleece. There is room in the bag for the Amazon Basics keyboard and maybe an extra set of triple (A) batteries. At first the keyboard fits in the case a bit tight but I suspect over time this will ease up the more you remove and put the keyboard back in and out of the bag.
The way the bag closes is there is a flap that folds over the keyboard and is held closed with a Velcro patch on both ends. To open, peal the flap up and back. The keyboard then is sitting inside the case with the typing keys face up. I find it easy to pinch the bottom of the case with my thumb and index finger and then pull out using my other hand about in the top center of the keyboard. Rock the keyboard from side to side a bit and it will slide out and it's in the right position for use. If I remember right, the regular price of the keyboard is $45. It's still on special for 26 dollars and change. I have no clue how wide ladies purses are on the list but if you can fit one of these in a purse then by all means get one along with the case. Note: the case will protect the keyboard inside from minor bumps etc. If you give it a real hard knock like falling down and landing on it, it may or may not survive but if that's the case, your iPhone might not either! Sorry for making a commercial for the keyboard here. It's just that it's a really nice keyboard. The keys are wide enough that typing on the keyboard shouldn't be any problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: Arianna To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 3:13 PM Subject: Re: Blue Tooth keyboards for iPhone 4S I happen to use the HP touchpad wireless keyboard. It's pretty good. I like the fact that it actually has a switch to turn the keyboard on and off rather than a button, like the Apple one. I was constantly turning it on and draining the batteries while carrying it around in my purse.

You can get it at the Apple store on Ste Catherine street. I can give you the address. They are very good at helping us in that store. Usually, the manager is quite close to the door and welcoming people. You certainly will get all the help you need. When you go, have your phone with you and they will pair the keyboard for you. I realize that the Apple keyboard doesn’t fold but it is not that big and it is very thin. You will find it comfortable to work on. You don’t need a keyboard with the numeric pad on and I seem to remember that it costs about $69 in Canada.

Verbatim makes one, Amazon basics is another, the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, and the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. You might give the list archives a search for these brands as they have been talked about recently on list. The verbatim keyboard folds, and the other three do not. All of them are Bluetooth, all of them will work with your iPhone, and some have more features than others. For example, the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard will pair with more than one device. The Apple Bluetooth keyboard is the official and recommended keyboard but is more expensive. The Amazon basics Bluetooth keyboard is a cheaper solution and I have recorded a podcast on it. Now that I think about it, the Logitech keyboard is a little higher in price as well. However like I said it depends on what features you want. Other people will have some suggestions here on list, but I highly recommend searching the list archives for other discussions since they are fairly recent.
