Where We Live: This historic funeral home was rescued from the grave | Polycarbonate Embossed Sheet

The Presidio Grip is a seriously well-rounded case for the clumsier. The matte finish on the plastic is scratch-resistant, though I did manage to mar it with pressure with my keys. The sides and edges are lined with a ton of rubber for added grip, and it’s definitely helpful. The sizable lip up front is rubber, and will clear even the thickest of screen protectors without a problem. The rubber buttons are among the most tactile I’ve had the pleasure of clicking, and the USB Type-C port opening has a decent amount of space. Of course, the bottom edge is covered since this is more of a rugged case. Even the interior is lined with rubber for increased shock resistance. This case doesn’t play around.

It’s also really hard to tell that it’s a wallet case, which adds to the security of it all. This just looks like a massively protective case. I’ve dropped it a couple of times, and it surely is protected. The volume and sleep/wake buttons are fully encased by the polycarbonate plastic mold, while the mute switch and headphone jack, Lightning port, and speaker on the bottom of my iPhone are open to the air enough for use; my headphones don’t require an adapter either — a welcome respite from the tyranny of overprotective iPhone cases. — Rob LeFebvre

Ive acknowledged that he and Marc Newson, who recently joined Apple as a London-based employee, could “incite ourselves to a sort of fever pitch” of design distress; they’ll complain about things “developed to a schedule, to a cost,” or “developed to be different, not better.” He and Newson are car guys, and they feel disappointed with most modern cars; each summer, they attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where vintage sports cars are exhibited and raced in the South of England. “There are some shocking cars on the road,” Ive said. “One person’s car is another person’s scenery.” To his right was a silver sedan with a jutting lower lip. Ive said, quietly, “For example.” As the disgraced car fell behind, I asked Ive to critique its design: “It is baffling, isn’t it? It’s just nothing, isn’t it? It’s just insipid.” He declined to name the model, muttering, “I don’t know, I don’t want to offend.” (Toyota Echo.)

Today’s garage is much more than a place to park the cars. Upgrades range from custom storage units and new floors to fitness rooms or man caves.

Without it, the site first opened to the public in 2015. It featured about 120,000 square feet of new or reconfigured exhibition space; a new cinema; a new two-story Miesian pavilion of wide open gallery spaces, called the Podium, the whole building clad in light, shimmery panels of foamed aluminum, an automotive and medical industry material also used for bomb blast absorption that looks a little like rough stone. There was even a 1950s-style Italian cafe straight out of a Wes Anderson movie.

Moving onto the whole ‘Live’ aspect, my unit is the Google Earth ‘Rock’ dual-layer model. Setup is pretty interesting. After installing the ‘Live Case’ app from the Play Store and logging into your Google account, you’re told to grab the four-digit code that’s printed inside the case (on both the polycarbonate and TPU layers, in the dual-layer version’s case). Enter this code, which presumably identifies what kind of case you purchased exactly, and you’re in.

The bright and sunny kitchen is a delight among granite counters, tile floor, wall oven, built-in microwave and generous storage and work space. French doors open to another one of the owner’s favorite features — an oversized screened porch that opens to the deck.

Large ranch style home with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. There is a large living room with a floor to ceiling window and a wood burning fireplace. The kitchen has white cabinets and a window to look out on the large back yard. Main floor bath has a whirlpool tub, separate shower and lots of counter space at the sink. The large family room has another a gas fireplace and a sliding door that leads to a patio. You can walk out of the basement to the back yard and there is another fireplace and bathroom. Laundry room and storage areas also! Most of the home has been freshly painted in a popular neutral color. Just minutes from Clark Elementary School and Highway 44. This house is ready for you!

Positioned in a Sports-Command driving position, the front seats of the Velar balance performance-oriented design and support with opulent comfort, and offer up to 20-way adjustment with available heating, cooling and massage functions. Weight-optimized and designed to liberate additional interior space, the seats have also been carefully sculpted for ease of entry and egress to and from the vehicle.

This case will be useless and pointlessly restrictive for 95% of the population, but for the 5% that do live a super rugged lifestyle and need a case that is anything-proof, the LifeProof FRE is a good buy. The MSRP of $89.99 is a little absurd, but the going price of around $50 on Amazon is much more reasonable. Of course, it’s still noticeably more expensive than regular cases, but it’s also much more capable.

The closest I got was in 2008 when I visited MXL Industries, a company in Pennsylvania that makes face shields for Shoei and others. That visit was described in my article “How to Make a Motorcycle Helmet Visor“.
