Concept: Physical QWERTY Keyboard For The iPhone 4

While the iPhone is an incredibly popular cell phone, you can bet that there are some folks out there who aren’t fond of using a virtual keyboard to type out their messages. With no hint of an iPhone with a physical keyboard anytime soon, a designer has dreamt up an iPhone protector that sports a QWERTY keyboard that can slide over the virtual keyboard of the iPhone. Once docked, the virtual keyboard will be disabled, and the physical one will take over, and the metal bands on the side of the iPhone also serve as a protection for the phone, similar to Apple’s bumper protectors. There wasn’t any mention if this design will help solve the iPhone 4′s signal issues, though.
