Pre-Order Arrived Yesterday- Initial Thoughts on iPhone Air
After 24 hours of use - initial impression is the product is disappointing, heavily compromised, and poorly executed. With an iPhone Air, both portrait and landscape, the ergonomics feel very awkward. The weight makes it very uncomfortable to hold while typing, never feels comfortable or balanced in the hand. While attached to the phone, it feels very bulbous, with round edges and a large air gap between the keyboard and the phone.
The extra weight in the pocket cancels out the benefit of the size/weight of the iPhone Air, making it unlikely to be a daily carry - and the Clicks battery is too low powered to really act as a proper MagSafe battery pack (in the same way the the Apple or Anker battery packs do).
Build quality is mixed. The outer rubberised back feels ok as does the keyboard build quality. However, when open, it exposes some cheap feeling plastics of questionable quality, plus exposes a small fragile ribbon-cable, that really should ideally be inside the product.
