Hi Jesica.
I at present use a variety of keyboards when using my I phone 4S.
I use a small Ri Tech keyboard when out and about, or my braille display or my
latest one, the Apple Wireless keyboard. As for cases, I have a small leather
case which has a cardholder in it too which serves my needs.
Give Olearea a try.
All the best
