An Integral Link rear suspension with forged aluminum toe links and upper control arms delivers the high lateral stiffness needed for exceptional handling precision, together with the longitudinal compliance needed for outstanding ride comfort and refinement. At Land Rover, we believe that an Integral Link set-up is the most sophisticated and most capable rear suspension system available. The design is also highly space efficient, minimizing intrusion into the luggage compartment.

M.M.R. and M.M. conceived the project, reduced and analyzed the data, and wrote the paper. M.M.R. and J.P. fabricated the samples and conducted the experiments.

You’re not going to find a smooth-feeling glass back on the phone, or, indeed, most of the design bells and whistles other phones may have. That’s not entirely a bad thing, as the polycarbonate back is plenty sturdy and comfortable enough to hold in hand. The graphite black model I was provided looks…okay, but it’s certainly not going to win any awards for its good looks.

The case’s finish has a soft-touch feel to it, which makes it feel great in the hand, but it does collect fingerprints very easily. When it’s clean, the case looks great, but it dirties in virtually no time. Touch it, and you’ll see an oily mark, even if your hands are clean. It’s a little irritating, and you’ll probably find yourself wiping your case on your shirt a lot more. But the main reason I love this case is the little insert for a magnet it has inside the back. Buy one of Spigen’s car mount kits (other manufacturers’ should work too), stick the magnet in the back and then mount on an air vent in your car, and you’ll be able to just place your phone and drive. I don’t know why more of Spigen cases don’t have this, because they really should. It’s just so convenient if you don’t have a car with a multimedia system or Android Auto.

Brunner and Ive had dinner in San Francisco a few days before Apple’s September announcement; they barely talked about the Beats deal. “I was telling my wife I’ll be home by ten o’clock,” Brunner said. “We were still drinking past twelve-thirty. I think he was blowing off a little steam.” (Stephen Fry said of Ive, “He loves a great hotel and a great wine.”) Ive was worn out, and preoccupied by the launch, and, Brunner said, by the thought of “doing something like this without Steve.” But they gossiped a little about designers, and Brunner was reminded of his former employee’s extreme thoroughness when Ive showed him drawings of “a perfectly radiused marble corner” for a future bathroom in Pacific Heights.

where σ is the surface tension at the interface, g is the acceleration of gravity, and ρl and ρv are the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, respectively. The relative importance of surface tension and buoyancy (gravitational) forces on a bubble is captured through the nondimensional Bond number, Bo, given by

"What’s most stunning about this historic home is that it never left the family—until now. The Minchens’ son, Meyer, a highly decorated World War II Navy pilot, lived in the home until his death this summer at age 95. Meyer, who apparently spent considerable time with an elaborate ham radio setup in the garage, was well-known in the neighborhood and, legend has it, entertained celebrities performing at the old Shamrock Hotel."

Lightweight magnesium alloys are used to make the front-end carrier and cross-car beam, while the tailgate is made from advanced composite materials.

The Urban Armor Gear Trooper case takes great pains to secure three to four plastic cards (and a bit of cash) in its roomy interior, and provides a locking door that acts like a mini safe — nothing’s gonna fall out of this wallet case. This case is beefy. Rounded edges and a smooth exterior doesn’t get stuck on my pocket while I’m putting it away.

The final product ended up pretty nice for the most part, though I did have one corner that refused to fully adhere to the phone. The triangles on the back demonstrate a level of craftsmanship that can’t be found on a plastic case, and the Toast branding on the bottom is subtle. I wasn’t able to install the front skin due to the glass screen protector I had, but I wouldn’t have done so anyway as it makes the screen harder to swipe on. The cutouts for the camera and the fingerprint sensor, as well as those for the buttons, were accurate. The design definitely made the phone eye-catching, but I had a hard time dealing with all the sharp corners that inherently come with wood products.

As we’ve learned so far, a clear TPU back is basically always going to have the rainbow effect. Because of this, many cases utilize hard plastic backs instead, which manage to avoid this issue. The Covert 2 from Ghostek is one of those cases, and thanks in large part to the hard plastic back, it’s not a bad option.
