Introduction to Clicks Keyboard Case

Everyone has noted that the Clicks keyboard case bears a resemblance to a Blackberry when used with an iPhone. However, with the recent expansion of Clicks cases to Android phones, especially foldables, the similarity now leans more towards the Casio Secret Sender Diary, a nostalgic device from the past. A comparison between the Motorola Razr+ equipped with the Clicks keyboard case and the aforementioned diary reveals a striking resemblance, especially when viewed with a bit of squinting.

Expansion to Android Devices

The Clicks physical keyboard case was initially launched for the iPhone 15 Pro and later for the iPhone 16 Pro. This marks the first time it’s being made available for any Android device. The compatibility list includes the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, the Galaxy S25, and notably, the Moto Razr+, a flip phone that, with the keyboard case, closely resembles an old-school electronic diary. Each phone model has its specific case, transforming the device entirely when the case is applied.

Color Variants and Design

The Clicks cases for Android are offered in a palette of colors, including Onyx, black, Electric blue with gray trim, and a vibrant yellow and purple variant named Surge. This last option seems particularly appealing to fans of the LA Lakers. The choice of colors might also be influenced by Google’s Senior Vice President of Devices & Services, Rick Osterloh, known for his love of basketball.

Functionality and User Experience

On the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Galaxy S25, the Clicks keyboard case functions similarly to its iPhone counterpart. Once connected via the USB-C port, the keyboard illuminates and is ready for use. Android’s built-in keyboard shortcut setup allows for creative input customization. The physical keyboard also offers the benefit of reclaiming screen space, leading to cleaner screenshots.

The Unique Case of Moto Razr+

The Clicks case for the Moto Razr+ stands out due to its unique form factor. A walkthrough by Mr. Mobile, co-founder of Clicks, showcases the different keyboard cases, highlighting the versatility of the Razr+ version. Given the extensive functionality of Android apps on the Razr+’s cover screen, the Clicks case enables users to interact without needing to open the phone. At $130, this functionality presents a compelling case for the product.

Conclusion and Availability

Perhaps it’s time to reconsider the Clicks keyboard case, especially with its compatibility with folding phones. Initially, there were reservations due to the thumbs-first input style, but the evolving design might have addressed previous concerns. The future could hold a Clicks keyboard case for Samsung’s Z Flip phones, further expanding its appeal. The Clicks case for the Pixel 9 will be the first to launch in April, followed by the Razr+ and then the Samsung Galaxy S25. Pre-orders are available until March 21 for $100, increasing to $130 thereafter.
