However, it’s the software that’s Honor 8C’s biggest Achilles’ Heel. No matter how you slice it, EMUI isn’t among the best. Animations are slow, there are a lot of duplicate apps, and whatnot. EMUI is visually-inconsistent as well; some icons are circular in shape, others are square, while some are square with rounded corners. The same goes for the notification shade and individual notification cards. To top things off, the Honor 8C comes with a slew of bloatware apps (e.g. AppGallery, Camera360), and some of them can’t be uninstalled.

The “blown” EPS must also be kept in a climate-controlled storage area until its molded into the correct shape.

ZAGG has informed me that the reason I had problems with screen sensitivity on my InvisibleShield Glass Curve example could be the variances in glass curvature of Pixel 2 XL cover glasses from the factory. The Glass Curve is reportedly designed to fit most phones, but it seems like my Pixel 2 XL’s display curvature deviates from the norm. In fact, ZAGG told me that only 4% of customers have complained about screen sensitivity; that’s still higher than it should be at this $50 price, but it’s understandable. In the comments, three readers have said they’re satisfied with their Glass Curves, whereas there’s one other person who’s had screen sensitivity problems as well. I still can’t recommend the Glass Curve if it inherently won’t fit some phones properly, but I will link their site if you’d like to take a chance.

This sleek, wallet-style leather case from Guardian looks and feels great in the hand. It features two slots, one for cash and one for cards. Underneath is a micro-suction patch, which works to keep the phone in place. An purposeful gap between the phone and case allows for easy earbud storage, a super-handy feature for travelers. The Guardian Leather Case nicely protects the corners of the iPhone from scratches and bumps, and the leather smells just as good as it looks. — George Tinari

Like that phone, its starting price is around $300 and it truly is shaking up the smartphone scene and makes you question just how much you should spend on your next phone. There’s no doubt that Pocophone has made some sacrifices to bring the F1 to market at such a low cost, mainly in terms of its design and camera quality. However, in almost all cases, you really won’t notice the cut corners too much. In other areas, like the inclusion of an IR scanner, the phone even offers features that almost no other phone has.

Three years ago, Ive’s responsibilities expanded to include software as well as hardware. He took charge of what Apple calls Human Interface: typefaces, icons, swipes, taps. In 2013, the company released the iOS7 operating system for the iPhone and the iPad, and the overhaul included a new range of sounds for incoming calls, texts, and e-mails. Before, the alerts had mostly a strained, jokey relationship with the real world, as suggested by such names as Duck, Choo Choo, and Doorbell. iOS7 introduced refined snatches of electronica created, in part, by Hugo Verweij, a Dutch sound designer who, before being hired by Ive, had a Web site selling “minimalist ringtones.” (On his blog, Verweij had expressed bafflement with Apple’s “loud and crappy” sounds.) Some Apple customers may have found the new tones unappealing—too modish, or too European—and they may have switched back to the goofy, “classic” sounds that had been relegated to a lower-rung menu. But others may have had the thought, or the half-thought, that the sounds made the phones more coherent—a more natural accompaniment to glass, aluminum, and Helvetica Neue.

The Vander Esches keep the bus at a hunting buddy’s place in Godley, Texas, south of Fort Worth. Whenever the season ends, they will drive it back to Riggins.

The living room at 1640-1641 Fairfield Beach Road opens to a great room with a coffered ceiling, a stone fireplace and Brazilian cherry floors.

Oh, and before I forget, these are also pretty good at being, you know, lights. The starter kit includes nine panels, which work together to produce roughly as much light in my living room as a pair of Philips Hue lights. Because the light panels are fixed to a wall or ceiling and are only producing light in one direction, you have to visualize the light a bit more like a flood light than you would a light bulb. But with that comes a desire to mount them on the ceiling. In fact, it’s not difficult to imagine a workspace where Canvas has effectively replaced the traditional ceiling fixture or fluorescent lights.
