Bluetooth Sliding Keyboard Case for iPhone: Box cover

The box is very plain -- there isn't even a brand name.

The 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.

The keyboard fits well with the overall iPhone design and feels pretty good even though there is a weight imbalance between the top half and bottom half when open.
