Hi Chris.

I use the Freedom I-Connex folding Bluetooth keyboard.  Its very similar to
a laptop keyboard in its layout and also has a bank of dedicated media
control keys on the left hand edge of the device.  It comes with a pull out
stand you can rest your phone on and when you've finished with it, you can
store it away in its protective carry case.  I take mine with me everywhere
as my IPhone is such an essential part of my digital life now.  The keyboard
costs around £50 from Play, Amazon probably also have it.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Jackie.
This sounds good, however are there any other compatible, perhaps cheaper
keyboards that will work with it? I don't mind £60 if I have to but just
looking at all possible options.
Many thanks. Hey, if you want to talk off list, feel free. Just don't want
the list to get bored of me asking so many questions. Smiles.
Take care.
