Phorm iPad Mini case creates physical keyboard on demand
Tactus has beena round for a while, but their technology hasn’t quite taken off until their latest announcement. Let us introduce you to the Tactus Phorm, an iPad Mini case that can turn your flat touchscreen into a physical keyboard of sorts.
The case adds a film on top of your screen. After activating the physical keyboard, some button-like bubbles pop up on top of your keys. These provide actual tactile feedback and can be put away just as easily as they were activated.
Tactus aims to launch this product during the summer with a price of $149, but if you pre-order it you can get it for $99. They are also working on a version for the iPad Air, the iPhone 6+ and Android tablets.
Opinion: Physical keyboards have been phased out by the industry, but we know many of you still love the feedback and feel that an actual keyboard can offer. I don’t think it’s a replacement for solid, real keyboards, but the Phorm could be a good acquisition in an age in which keyboards don’t seem to be coming back.
