For all of their other compromises, ThinkGeek and NUU had enough common sense not to relocate the space bars on their keyboards, one of the most critical elements in typing as it’s used literally every five or six characters on average. Even though they’re not ideal in these regards, both the TK-421 and MiniKey handle power and pairing with easier controls.īut most of the aforementioned issues could have been forgiven if the Keyboard Buddy Case had passed our primary benchmark, the document test: could we actually type this review using the keyboard itself? By this measure, the Keyboard Buddy Case failed miserably. Rather than including a normally-sized pairing button, or marking the side-mounted power switch in any way, BoxWave uses a tiny pentip-sized button for pairing and a two-position fingernail-ready switch that are explained using markings hidden inside the iPhone 4 shell-inconvenient and initially a little confusing. Keyboard Buddy Case’s list of problems continued to grow when we actually tried to use it. As was the case years ago, BoxWave could still benefit from greater quality control checks before shipping its accessories. We noticed that our review sample’s rear casing had already separated a little from the silver ring and needed to be pushed back together, not a great sign for something that just came fresh out of the package. In other words, while it could be better, it’s roughly par for the course as it exists today… except for one thing. BoxWave’s slide-out keyboard mechanism feels stable in either closed or open positions, and though the case is really just a thin and only modestly protective shell with no coverage for the device’s face, top, bottom, or side buttons, it’s not particularly different from other keyboard cases we’ve seen for the iPhone 4 in those regards. By combining soft touch rubber coating with a matte silver ring around the edge, and glossy black edging around matte-finished keys, the Keyboard Buddy Case manages to evoke the look of the iPhone 4 without directly mimicking it. It does not store any personal data.While the iPhone 4 case is merely a thin plastic shell that covers most of the iPhone’s back and sides while leaving holes elsewhere, it looks nice.
