    Captain America and Billy made a point of throwing away something as basic as their watches before setting off on their epic, tragic journey. No chance would either one even consider lugging along this thing!

    Ummm, how well does the iPhone touch screen work under plastic, especially when operated with gloves? How useful is that thing if you can't control it?

    I would love a nice full-featured docked remote for the iPhone/Touch with real buttons, especially ones labeled "menu" and "select".

    This is nothing but a glorified armband and a motorcycle headset. Nothing to see here, move along.

    If you are playing with your iPhone while riding, save the $150 and invest it in a stronger helmet...

    Wh-wh-wha-? What the f-.....I'm incredibly confused.

    This product combines the sexy-slick-hipness of the iPhone with the rugged badassery of a biker who can punch you out from across the room....with the douchiness of the bluetooth headset. And it still has wires.

    I have no idea what to think of this product....except the resolute belief that anyone who buys it is a hollow shell of a man, desperately clinging to any shred of identity he can scrape from the bottom of the pot everyone else finished eating from years ago.

    Is it weatherproof? I wonder if it would make the grade on the slopes.

    I see bikers and iPhone users as two completely unique demographics. Of course it depends on what type of bikers you are talking about.

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher: : I ride and the only reason I don't have an iPhone is because I want to go with Android as soon as the Hero is released on Verizon. More and more people are riding these days, from all walks of life. We're not all the Sons of Anarchy you know :)

    It seems pretty clear to me that that's what he was saying.

    iTwinge when I see this stupid product. Take off you god damn iPhone keyboard training wheels and learn how to type on it.

    You'll be typing way faster than the guy in this video in a week or two.

    So.. do these buttons simply touch the screen to type.. or does it type by being plugged into the iphone?

    My problem is, my refurbs keep having defective screens and Apple keeps denying it. Around 70% of the time I go to use my screen.. it just doesn't detect my fingers unless I turn the screen off and on a few hundred times.

    My main concern with this is that if I leave it on, for mainly texting... I still have to take if off to even unlock the phone, which seems rather ridiculous.

    If only it had a "slide to unlock" button on this thing.

    @That-One-Person: It touches the screen where the corresponding virtual keys are.

    Or think of it as a rubber for your iphone, with nubs, for your pleasure of course...

    Maybe you should try to reserve judgement before you actually saw/tried something out in person? Then you wouldn't need to backtrack on your statements.

    Uhh... OR you could simply use landscape typing (in apps where its available, anyway) and type reallly fast on the on-screen keyboard.

    @Eruanno: I get what you're saying, but clearly that's not the same thing. You have more room for error on a landscape keyboard so it's easier to type fast, but you still can't feel the keys.

    There has been some degree of demand for a physical keyboard on the iPhone since it first launched, this is an accessory that can get you half way there if you're one of the people who prefers that feel.
