I wonder if a magsafe secured, size agnostic version could be made. Less locked in but easier to split across pockets and possibly works for more than one mode

I wonder if a magsafe secured, size agnostic version could be made. Less locked in but easier to split across pockets and possibly works for more than one model.
- pedalpete 3y agoThis was my initial reaction, why have an entire case when it could be attached via magsafe. I wonder if it could be made to swivel/slide out of the way when not in use. Membrane keyboard could be super thin. But also.... no, I don't think I need/want this. But a cool design exercise.
- Caddickbrown 3y agoIn theory all it would need to be is a tiny Bluetooth keyboard with a MagSafe attachment and it would be functionally the same!
- cowsup 3y agoBluetooth would require separate charging and a heavier design for an onboard battery. Not to mention needing to turn it off and on, or making it "smart" and only turn on when pressed, which slows down typing itself when you really need it.
- cush 3y ago> magsafe secured This certainly must have been an option they explored. Without a case secured to the body of the phone, pushing the keyboard buttons would probably pop off the magsafe connection. There's a lot of leverage on those clicks.
