Sounds like a small, niche but very real market and product: A keyboard case with Bluetooth (but security!) or USB-C.

Bonus points for e-ink-based keys.

Edit: Realistically I’d be surprised if something like this doesn’t already exist.

What about an updated BlackBerry Torch 9800?

That looks pretty cool, and others must’ve thought that as well because it’s sold out.

Some of the immediate things that came to mind were making a case that integrates the phone with the keyboard; and a small battery to extend the life of the phone since the keyboard adds to the formfactor anyway.

Bonus points if this creates a market for a small phone again (iphone 12 user here).
