Over the past several months, we've been following the progress of iPhone5mod, one of several companies that have developed unauthorized versions of Apple's new Lightning connector, allowing them to launch a number of accessories, adapters, and cables for customers frustrated by the slow pace of development on official solutions.

iPhone5mod is now launching an interesting new product today in the form of an ultrathin keyboard/game controller for the iPhone 5. The $49.90 EX Hybrid Game Controller consists of a thin back cover for the iPhone that provides magnetic attachment for a pair of 2-mm thick aluminum plates: one offering a keyboard and a second containing gamepad controls. The plates also include integrated batteries for up to 40 hours of active use, with a separate charging station for the plates included in the package.

I prefer the will.i.am one.
I thought that was a camera upgrade.The extra battery life is more enticing than the keyboard/game controller.
it doesn't add battery life to your phone, they're talking about the battery life of the accessory itself.
Cool! This is why the iPhone trumps Google phones. Having one form factor that won't get dumped every 6 months....
Nice to see that some are still making things up, or are still choosing to remain uninformed/blinded.
Please keep your giant magnetic device away from my credit cards.
Modern credit cards can't be degaussed by even rare earth magnets...Thank you.
Agreed.
Why?Moreoever, in my view "Magnet = NOT OK!"
