TheClicks is a $139 accessory casethat puts a chiclet QWERTY keyboard below the iPhone’s screen.
It’s pretty neat, looks cool, and the price is right.
But hasn’t the world moved on from phones with physical keyboards?

Yes, but maybe it should take a second look.
The Clicks Keyboard
“Clicks” is the name of the company, and also the keyboard.
It comes in yellow and gray-blue and actually looks pretty great.

As somebody who types out words for a living, I prefer hardware over on-screen keys.
But for many people, a software keyboard is just fine.
As for speed, that totally depends.

A software keyboard is also way more convenient.
It’s also always ready to go when you need it.
There’s no need to clip it on.
Hardware or Software?
Hardware keyboards have their advantages, too, even considering the extra bulk.
For a start, they never change.
And that tactility is a boon in a few ways.
One is that you feel the clicks and can easily locate keys by touch.
And a hardware keyboard also means you’ve got the option to use keyboard shortcuts.
In the end, it’s nice to have the option.
So, it’s nice to finally have at least one of these available on the iPhone.
