easco modernizes flip phones with swappable and customizable keypads

Modern flip and bar phones with changeable keypads

The modern bar and flip phones by Easco have swappable and customizable keypads that users easily switch. Users unclip these ‘keyboards’ using the small inlets at the bottom or pull them down from the main body of the modern flip and bar phones. Then, they can switch the keypads by popping them back into their positions after hearing the satisfying snap or sliding the new keypad back up for the bar models. Unveiled during MWC 2025, the Easco devices can come with the in-house-developed FindMy technology, depending on the model.

It tracks the modern flip and bar phones if the users lose them somewhere or forget where they’ve put them. For the features of the devices, there’s an 1.8-inch external display for the flip models to let users see notifications, time, and caller information without needing to open the gadget. Then, for all the models, the Easco phones have light strips that blink when the devices receive notifications. Users can even assign light patterns for different contacts or notifications so that they know who the calls or messages are coming from without opening the devices.

Easco adds front and rear cameras to its devices

More on the swappable and customizable keypads, Easco creates them so users can program keys for quick access to frequently used contacts and uses. Aside from the tactile keyboards, the brand adds cameras to these modern flip and bar phones, with an LED flash for the rear one. The design team also revives the 3.5mm headphone jack for the users who miss wired earphones, and there’s a Type-C 2.0 USB port for charging.

The small main display is a 2.8-inch TFT LCD screen, and these modern flip and bar phones have full 4G LTE connectivity with dual-SIM capability. There are different color combinations to choose from, including green, gold, yellow, and blue. Users can purchase additional swappable keypads if they wish, even if their colors don’t correspond to the model unit for a more playful gadget. Easco says it is Ireland’s first homegrown mobile phone company.

  • House of Shifting Sands

    Sited gently on the lower slope of a dramatic sixty foot high coastal bank and surrounded by miles of undeveloped Cape Cod National Seashore beaches and scrub pines is a warm, modern beach house that is more than just a place to enjoy uninterrupted ocean views and sea breezes. Our clients dreamed of a house that would work equally well as both a year-round family “camp” and also as a “thinking retreat” for collaborating with their colleagues. From the beginning of design it was critically important to us and to our clients – as well as the Town Conservation Commission and National Seashore representatives – that the house fit into its fragile site seamlessly. Our team responded with great care by designing the house to curve and shift softly with the natural topography and also by envisioning the new native and drought resistant landscaping growing back tight to the house as if both had always been there together. The main house is conceived of as a collage of overlapping, cantilevered planes and volumes that culminate in a large living / dining space defined by an asymmetrically arcing copper roof plane. Entry to the house is by way of a long ramp through what will in a few years be a thicket of native pines and bushes, then through curving cedar shingled planes. The inland side of the house is tucked into its shifting, sandy landscape and is comprised of cedar shingled planes that float above the ground and contain bedrooms, bathrooms, and the kitchen, and lower volumes of horizontal tongue and groove cedar boards that enclose bedrooms and a gathering space for teenage sons. On the Cape Cod Bay side, the house opens up through walls of glass to endless water views and heavenly sea breezes. In the middle of the house, just inside the front door, is an architectural “hole” that allows the house to breathe and cool itself naturally most of the year through its floor to ceiling awning windows, and which also provides views of the sky from a shady breezeway on the lower level. Along one wall of the hole is a trellis planted with evergreen and seasonally aromatic flowering vines.

Separated from the main house by a screen porch and contiguous deck, is a separate art / yoga / thinking studio that seemingly floats fourteen feet above the ground. Inside is a single large loft space as well as a full bath, and below is an open-air summer art studio and boat / beach toy storage, behind walls of wood slats and matching barn doors.
