Click into the keyboard
I thought it was gonna be easy like learning to ride a bike again. I was wrong, but it takes a little more time to get used to physical keyboards again.
Am about 3 weeks in and been having fun with this thing. Didnt take long to master but it feels like a steep learning curve for the first two days. Stick with it, makes so much sense and changed my phone usage for the better.
Took a couple weeks to get used to, but I really enjoy it. Helpful for formatting emails. Obviously large for the pocket, but not a dealbreaker. Backlit keyboard is a plus. Charging is seamless.
First, yes, it is bulky. There's no way around that. I think given what they had to work with, it was necessary. Second, this is an amazing attachment. It makes typing so much easier on my phone. Takes a little getting used to, which they have a tutorial for each day to learn something new, but my speed and productivity on this blows me away some days. I rarely write reviews. This was a good one though.
Since I was so satisfied with this case And since the first one was pink I really had to buy a blue one Guess I’m all set now
Much much much fewer typos and misspellings. Also less cursing due to the need to edit. The only problem is finding an 8 inch belt pouch, i found one finally but it is zippered instead of magnetic flaps. Only one week using the Clicks. When I whipped it out at an Apple store the customer service technician had never seen a Clicks and reacted with amazement. I asked him they don’t’ sell Clicks among all their other accessories. He couldn’t answer.
I started using the keyboard phone from Nokia to Blackberry to Samsung S8, and now with Clicks. I will continue to use Clicks for the upcoming iphone 16 if it is still available. And in iPhone 16, I can shift from Pro model to smaller screen model
Just recently upgraded my iPhone after many years, and then as I was thinking "I guess I need a new case" I suddenly recalled seeing the CLICKS case somewhere. I searched online and when I found it, I knew I had to have it. It scratched the "It's like my old Blackberry" itch that I've been trying to recreate for years. Once getting it, and seeing how comically large it made my already too big phone, I was skeptical that I'd be able to handle this thing on a day to day basis. I couldn't have been more wrong. I absolutely LOVE it! Sure, it takes a little getting used to, but once you figure out how it balances, it's brilliant! It also get's a lot of attention when you use it. The very first day I had it out, 2 people commented on how cool it was. The only thing I had a problem with, is I like a lanyard on my phone to stop me fearing dropping it into the abyss when I'm taking pictures, so I cut a little hole in the side and installed my own. Can't say enough positive about this case. So fun, and lives up to the nostalgic hype.
Clicks doesn't feel like an add on accessory it feel sort of the phone. When i take it out its case sometimes, the iphone just feels lost with it (clicks). Ive loved communicating with Kevin and helping to create, develop and brining to life Clicks Mode which i felt was a huge missing part of the clicks functionality. Typing on it is just beautiful, precise, tactile and a pleasure. Having full screen availability in all apps when typing has increased my productivity and ability to use my phone for more uses such as Pages, Keynote, iMovie etc. Well done to all involved.
I tend to watch much reviews and focus on negative reviews prior to buying any products. For the Clicks keyboard, some of the major concerns people have was that the product is gimmicky (not too much value), the weight distribution is an issue and the lack of MagSafe support. As an avid Blackberry user - even going back to the days of Sidekick and the Voicestream 3way V100 device (yikes! that old)...I have enjoyed using tactile buttons on a smart device. The Blackberry I used was the Blackberry Key2...which I enjoyed but am biased to my Apple ecosystem, so the Key2 had limited used except for business use. I was skeptical about the Clicks keyboard considering its founders were heavily invested in the Blackberry seen; thus meaning there was an emotional, nostalgic investment towards the products (not solely because it addressed an issue in the smart phone world). Anyways, after fighting resistance and opting to buy, I am more than satisfied with my purchase. The learning curve was more of a trip down memory lane as missteps (or missed taps keys) experienced during the first two weeks are not noticeable after a month of use. I can even type while not looking down and concentrating on my sports on the big screen. An act I was not able to fulfill since my days of using the Blackberry Bold and Sidekick. Even as much as I enjoyed my Blackberry Passport, I did find the keys too far apart while the Blackberry Key2 keys were too thin. While these keys tend to be smaller than I preferred, it is a conceded tradeoff that we must accept nowadays considering the smaller widths of phones. Noticeable benefits: I rarely take it out of the case. I was going to assume because of its size and lack of MagSafe, I was only going to use it during work hours to power through on emails. I find myself rarely taking it off and writing more social media posts on it. The top-heavy concern is not that much of an issue as I am already used to hold my phone is such a manner when typing on a virtual keyboard anyway. Now, typing on a tactile keyboard, it seems much more satisfying feeling my tips press on buttons knowing I am actually hitting a key - much like a keyboard. That sensation "tricks" my brain into knowing that I did not miss a key and I can concentrate much quicker on the next key or word, rather than continuously glancing on what I wrote to see if there are any errors on my sentence. The only draw back is the lack of MagSafe. For charging, it is not much of an issue as I can easily plug a USB-C wire or even lay it on top of a Qi Wireless charging puck. However, my daily wallet is MagSafe and I do see myself carrying it less. Thankfully, with Apple Wallet, most of my cards, IDs and commuter passes are all stored electronically so I do not need to have my physical wallet at my possession at all times. So, overall, I am highly satisfied with the product and glad I purchased it.
