Create a slide out keyboard for touchscreen Android phone

[blackrosealex]

I am so sick of the touchscreen for texting and emailing. I bought a blue tooth keyboard and I'm waiting for it to come in. Any ideas on how to create a slide out tray for my keyboard to attach to the phone? I have a few ideas and will post in a few weeks which one works but just wondering if anyone has anything better. I know they did this for the iphone its too bad they haven't done it for some android phones as well. I have the LG Esteem.
