Yes, this is an iPad Mini case with a wireless keyboard.

It might not seem like Larry Littleton was much of a baseball player. As a rookie third-string outfielder struggling to crack the lineup of the 1981 Cleveland Indians - not exactly Murderer’s Row, it must be said - Larry started the season with 26 straight plate appearances without a base hit. To his credit, he did draw three walks, and on two of those walks, he came around to score runs. But still, even on a punchless team, Larry stood out for his futility at the plate.

When the Indians sent him down to the Charleston Charlies at the end of May, Larry couldn’t have known he had set a record. He’d go back to West Virginia for a couple of months. Work on his swing. Build up his confidence. Crack the big club again once he had his stroke back. He’d already beat overwhelming odds just to make the major leagues - that was the hard part. Larry would make it back for that first big-league hit.

But he never did. He hit pretty well for the Charlies, but never got the call. The following year, he was traded to the Twins organization, an even worse team - but they couldn’t find a spot for Larry on the 40-man roster, either. After a brief, flailing 1983 season in the Phillies organization, Larry, now 29, packed up and went home to Georgia for good.

Those 26 hitless plate appearances in 1981 would remain the sum total of his major league career. And they remain, to this day, the most plate appearances by any player (except pitchers) without a single career hit. Larry Littleton has a strong claim to be the worst Major League Baseball player of all time. And you know what the most important part of that dubious honor is?

Larry Littleton was a Major League Baseball player.

In order to be the worst MLB player ever, Larry Littleton had to be one of the very, very best baseball players ever, relative to the general population. Think about the kid who was the best baseball player in your hometown. Chances are Larry Littleton was a vastly better baseball player than that guy. Like, not even close. You can’t be the worst Major League Baseball player unless you’re equipped to be a Major League Baseball player.

This keyboard tablet case is the Larry Littleton of tablet cases. You could call it the worst tablet case ever and you’d get no argument from us. Its spillproof Bluetooth keyboard is the terrible part. The squishy, unappealing keys are cramped and weirdly laid out. It’s almost impossible to hit the keys just right: either you have to mash them to get them to respond, or the slightest brush makes them type out multiple letters. It’s the kind of keyboard that would go hitless in all 26 of its plate appearances.

But the worst tablet case ever is still a tablet case. It will still protect your tablet from bumps and drops. Relative to every object in the world, it’s a vastly better tablet case than, say, a sheet of paper, or a fork, or a bighorn sheep. Like Larry Littleton, this case will do all the things its peers can do. It will do them much worse. But it’ll be in the same league.
