Along with Seattle product designer and engineer Brad Melmon, Steve Isaac has developed a transparent, flexible faux keyboard that sits on top of the virtual keyboard on the iPhone to give users the familiar feel of notebook-like raised keys. Made of transparent silicone, fire touch flat keyboard on the screen of the iPhone and the lines of the tablet virtual keyboard in landscape mode.

The keys are reinforced with micro-structures for the product to provide some resistance to big strikes, fire and touch can be attached to an iPad case when not in use via a few clips. The designers say it can feel when the keys means that users can quickly and accurately on an iPhone is the type on a laptop computer and touch-types never have their eyes from the message window.
