The plastic frame probably doesn’t do much for durability since it wraps around the corners. I’d imagine that in a drop onto concrete, while the frame would shatter, your phone should be fine. In spite of this, it sports a MIL-STD 810G rating, and it does allow for added flair on the case. If you own multiple Parallax cases, you can even mix and match them. My one gripe with this line of cases is that the frame can be a little constricting when you’re putting the case on or taking it off. Specifically, I’ve noticed that the TPU around the USB port can slightly flex, and the frame can pop out of alignment with the TPU, leaving a gap. These aren’t a big deal, and the latter is easily alleviated with a bit of force, but it’s worth noting.

Ivano Prudente, Nolan’s Area Sales Supervisor and Marco Mazza, Export Area Manager for Nolan, guided me through the two separate facilities in Brembate di Sopra, Italy, northwest of Bergamo and about 65 km from my hotel in Rho, outside of Milano.

ASI Architectural, which debuted in October, provides visually appealing architectural and acoustical finishes for designers, project managers and high-value décor contractors to create custom designs for any build plan. The company’s sophisticated wall and ceiling systems include linear planks; grilles; microperforated wood and metal absorbers; and ceiling sound reflectors, which are designed to make a space look and sound beautiful.

Painters, carpenters, plumbers and electricians crawled over the units, sprinting rather than walking to complete a punch list of repairs to 45 apartments at a rate of 10 a week. 

Everything about this case is minimal. Obviously, the first thing your eye is drawn to is just how thin the case itself is. It legitimately feels no thicker than a sheet of paper, but it forms perfectly around your phone’s body. It’s almost like a full-body skin, except you don’t have to deal with hair dryers and microfibers to install it. Every cutout is very small and very precise, and there’s no lip on the front. The USB-C port’s cutout is only slightly larger than the port itself, and the same is true for the power and volume buttons. This works because of how thin the case is; even if you have a USB Type-C cable with a larger end, it’ll still fit over the case.

The range is available in a choice of six contemporary colours from ‘subtle’ white, cream and greyed cedar, to traditional oak and ‘dramatic’ anthracite grey and wine red, all with a 10-year guarantee.

When Ive took control of Human Interface, in 2012, his immediate task was reforming the iOS. Jobs had liked digital facsimiles of analog designs; reportedly, the stitched leather in Apple’s desktop calendar quoted the interior of his Gulfstream. Ive’s view was that such effects were appropriate for the iPhone’s launch, when “we were very nervous—we were concerned how people would make a transition from touching physical buttons that moved, that made a noise . . . to glass that didn’t move.” But, he went on, “It’s terribly important that you constantly question the assumptions you’ve made.” (The bulbous iMac, a design with a similar desire to put people at ease, was replaced after three and a half years, and looked dated before then.) Ive was also itching to smooth the corners of iPhone app icons. “They drove me crazy,” he said. “All I could see were these unresolved tangency breaks.”

The Defense Lux combines a machined-aluminum outer frame with a tactilely-satisfying rear panel fashioned in carbon fiber, soft leather or ‘croc’ skin. The scratch-resistant metal outer frame provides military-grade drop protection, while protecting the perimeter of your iPhone. It’s a sexy-strong case with metallic button covers, and is drop-tested at six-and-a-half feet. — Ami Icanberry

This week the bus will be in Lot 15 again, or maybe parked by Fishbone Grill & Oyster Bar across the street from AT&T Stadium before the Cowboys take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Darwin will be on the grill. Sandy will be cooking something on the stove. Family and friends will be hanging out and strangers will come by to take some pictures.

The enhancements shown here have been attributed to the ability of in-plane variations in wall superheat to impart order to the resulting liquid and vapor flows, leading to high HTC and a delay in CHF. By reducing the superheat temperature in the vicinity of the low-conductivity materials, the epoxy divisions suppress nucleation and remain wetted during boiling. While this reduces the local heat transfer rate near the epoxy, it increases the global heat transfer rate over the entire surface by imparting spatial ordering and enhanced bubble dynamics. For this order to be maintained the cold epoxy divisions must remain wetted at all times. Figure 4 shows time-lapse imaging of vapor bubbles undergoing lateral coalescence, and demonstrates the ability of the epoxy divisions to remain wetted during boiling. See supplementary information for complete movies.

You wouldn’t know the DualPro is a dual-layer case unless you looked at it closely. Unlike with other two-layer cases, the DualPro’s seams are very tight, and the case doesn’t try to look tough. The similarity in color between the two layers doesn’t hurt, either. The bottom layer is made of silicone, and the top is a hard plastic with a soft-touch coating. That coating makes the DualPro comfortable to hold, though it does yield fingerprints more easily than other cases. Overall, though, this is a premium-feeling case.

“If a homeowner has a lot of tools in their garage and they use them a lot, those people want them more accessible. Other people, maybe with kids, would want to be able to pull in their cars and not see all the kid’s items that are stored there.
