New Run-Through Sash Horns for ECOSlide | Colored Polycarbonate Sheet

Installation is simultaneously straightforward and tedious. It’s straightforward in that you should simply be able to line the camera and the flash up, then fold the edges down to surround the sides of the phone, but it’s a lot more difficult in practice to get these all lined up and centered. This was not helped by the adhesive’s backing having tons of little circles stuck on the adhesive, meaning that I had to painstakingly remove each one (first-world problems, I know). After finally somewhat centering the skin around the USB Type-C port and having all the corners line up, which took about 20 minutes, then applying the little wooden buttons included on a separate sheet (which was pretty easy), I was finished.

It’s been a record-setting year for Houston real estate, "an almost unimaginable concept when the year began, on the heels of so much devastation from Hurricane Harvey," said HAR Chair Kenya Burrell-VanWormer with JPMorgan Chase. "As 2018 draws to a close, we see slow but steady growth in the supply of housing as well as a strong job market, which together make for a healthy real estate climate."

I was also worried about the buttons, but the KerfCase’s buttons are some of the best I’ve used. From what I can tell, they’re just small wood pieces glued to the suede lining of the inside, but they work very well. They’re extremely easy to push and very tactile. Branding is minimal, with some small "KERF" text embossed into the right side. My only real qualm with the case is what you can see from the front; since the lip doesn’t go around the front, you can spot the lining (including where it ends) and some less refined-looking stuff inside. It’s just not something you’d want to see, but this is the consequence of a one-piece design. I have read some reports of the wood cracking when the case is dropped, but I don’t believe it’s a huge issue given the warranty. If you own this case, chances are you own another that you can use even if you have to send it in. And if the case isn’t repairable, KerfCase will offer 50% off a new one.

At Jobs’s memorial, which was held on the lawn at Infinite Loop, Ive said, “Steve used to say to me—and he used to say this a lot—‘Hey, Jony, here’s a dopey idea.’ And sometimes they were: really dopey. Sometimes they were truly dreadful. But sometimes they took the air from the room, and they left us both completely silent. Bold, crazy, magnificent ideas. Or quiet, simple ones which, in their subtlety, their detail, they were utterly profound.” Ive said to me, “I couldn’t be more mindful of him. How could I not, given our personal relationship, and given that I’m still designing in the same place, at the same table, where I spent the last fifteen years with him sat next to me?”

As the group discusses anything and everything, strangers walk past, doing double-takes at the bus that the group has called its football home this Sunday.

The process for manufacturing a polycarbonate helmet shell is completely different than the process for making a composite shell. Both require technical expertise, manufacturing technology and a large capital investment, but the investment focus is different in each case.

Black and Premium exterior packages provide additional visual differentiation. The Black Exterior Package is offered on both core and R-Dynamic derivatives, introducing distinctive Narvik Black to the grille mesh and surround, hood and tailgate lettering, fender vents, tow-eye cover surround and lower bumper blade. For R-Dynamic derivatives, the hood vent blades, bumper aperture inserts and exhaust finishers are also finished in Narvik Black.

Jobs’s taste for merciless criticism was notorious; Ive recalled that, years ago, after seeing colleagues crushed, he protested. Jobs replied, “Why would you be vague?,” arguing that ambiguity was a form of selfishness: “You don’t care about how they feel! You’re being vain, you want them to like you.” Ive was furious, but came to agree. “It’s really demeaning to think that, in this deep desire to be liked, you’ve compromised giving clear, unambiguous feedback,” he said. He lamented that there were “so many anecdotes” about Jobs’s acerbity: “His intention, and motivation, wasn’t to be hurtful.”

Since joining Apple, Ive has occasionally taken on outside projects. In 2001, he created a white polystyrene box to house a book by Paul Smith. In 2013, an aluminum desk that Ive and Newson designed for the Project Red auction sold for $1.7 million. And Ive once sat next to J. J. Abrams at a boozy dinner party in New York, and made what Abrams recalled as “very specific” suggestions about the design of lightsabres. Abrams told me that “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” would reflect those thoughts, but he wouldn’t say how. After the release of the film’s first trailer—which featured a fiery new lightsabre, with a cross guard, and a resemblance to a burning crucifix—I asked Ive about his contribution. “It was just a conversation,” he said, then explained that, although he’d said nothing about cross guards, he had made a case for unevenness: “I thought it would be interesting if it were less precise, and just a little bit more spitty.” A redesigned weapon could be “more analog and more primitive, and I think, in that way, somehow more ominous.”
