Obviously, replacing the keyboard with a screen extension over the years has made the phones more versatile. A keyboard is always a keyboard, a touchscreen can be a keyboard (maybe more uncomfortable) and many other things too.
So I think that wanting to go back to the initial idea is only useful for those who exclusively prefer that way of interacting, and a disvantages for the others.
Uhm... but the idea of something that can be placed on the screen to improve the typing feeling is not a bad idea.
If this is possible I think the best way is a case to put the phone in from the top, like a pack of cigarettes, so that whenever you need to use the whole screen, you can remove the phone from the case (or open the keyboard somehow).
If some passive material was enough, without the use of electronics, proably this would also be the cheapest type of keyboard possible!
