ntThe Bluetooth Sliding Keyboard Case for iPhone from ThinkGeek that snaps on your iPhone 4 or 4S is like many other cases. Read my Geek Gifts 2012 review to find out what makes it special.

ntThe keyboard slides out from the case quite easily. You’ll notice a few knicks, scratches, and particles on the keyboard and case. These pictures were taken after about six weeks of use.
