Title: Typo's BlackBerry-style iPhone cases are officially off the market Post by: HCK on June 02, 2015, 09:00:11 am Typo's BlackBerry-style iPhone cases are officially off the market
<article> <section class="page"> <p>A company that made cases designed to turn your iPhone into a BlackBerry has, not surprisingly, been shut down by BlackBerry.</p><p>Typo launched in early 2014 with investment from Ryan Seacrest, but not even its big-name backers could prevent BlackBerry from taking the company to court.

BlackBerry sued Typo (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2137680/judge-blocks-sales-of-typo-keyboard-on-blackberry-request.html) for patent infringement in March of last year and successfully had the product blocked.
