The TK-421 flips out for use, and then flips back in when you're done, and has a magnet based clasp that keeps the keyboard in position. It works with any of the iPhone apps, including email, notes, web browsing, and texting. This case allows you to increase your typing accuracy and speed through its precise, hard click-type keys, instead of soft rubber keys, or typing on the glass screen. It comes with a completely wireless Bluetooth connection that doesn't use the typical dock connector, and the keyboard is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery that recharges through the USB cable.
