Ultra-Thin Magnetic Keyboard Won’t Fatten Up Your iPhone 5

To actually connect either the EX Hybrid controller or keyboard to your iPhone 5 you’ll have to get used to your phone wearing a thin case that provides a magnet-friendly backing. But it’s not required. Either accessory will still work with your phone when not connected because they’re self-powered and rely on a wireless Bluetooth connection. The case just provides a convenient way to marry the two together.

And although they look far too thin to house a useful battery, both the keyboard and controller are claimed to have as much as 40 hours of battery life on a single one hour charge. It’s made all the more impressive given the EX Hybrid kit, which includes the case, the keyboard and the controller, will set you back just $US50.
