![]() The Access Case is available for the iPhone 5/5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. While the case’s unique design has its downsides, the execution here is top-notch and you’re left with an iPhone case that makes a good argument for its high price point. The micro-suction technology used by Nodus here seems to work well, and for that the case must be judged a success. The Nodus Access Case is a stylish way to cloak your iPhone in leather, without the usual bulk that is associated with leather folio cases. You’ll need to be careful each time you place your iPhone, to ensure that it does not jut out past the case and thereby accrue scratches or other damage. If you’re not using it, you must remember to retain and reinstall the pieces of film you initially removed, so that the micro suction pads don’t rest on each other and destroy the whole case.įinally, installing your iPhone is a little fiddly compared to other cases, as it’s quite easy to put it on slightly crooked and not notice. Next, storage is a little more involved than a typical case. Thankfully, the Access Case didn’t fail me in my week-long testing period. Firstly, the case adds very little drop protection – and if the micro-suction ever fails, you’ll be left with a completely unprotected iPhone hurtling towards the ground. The unique design of the Access Case does bring its own challenges, though. Your screen will be protected by the front cover, and the body of your phone will be protected by the rest of the case. You’ll get a beautifully slim real leather case, which adds the absolute minimum of bulk to your iPhone. If you’ve done things correctly, the case should extend past the iPhone in each dimension, and the camera and flash should fit neatly inside the cutout in the back cover. Installation is as simple as placing your iPhone carefully on the pad, positioning it correctly, then pressing down hard to secure the connection. ![]() The idea is that the larger pad will hold the back of your iPhone, while the smaller one shown above will keep the flip cover closed. ![]() Peel these off, and you’ll expose the sticky micro-suction pads that lie at the heart of the Access Case. Slip this off, and you can open the case to see a brief instruction manual, and two labels. The Access Case comes bound in a simple cardboard sleeve with their logo front and centre. A few short weeks later, and I’ve got an Access Case of my very own to review. It's still significantly cheaper than Apple's wallet folio case, and I don't think the price is unreasonable for the quality, but some people might prefer to pay less for their iPhone case.Last month, Nodus Collection contacted me on Twitter with this cool video showing off the micro-suction capabilities of their premium Access Case for the iPhone 6 Plus. Note that there is not a magnet or strap to secure the case closed. Again, this may be viewed as a positive or negative, depending on individual preference. There is just one long slot for everything you want to carry. I know I love to look at the gorgeous gold color of my own iPhone XS.Īdditionally, unlike most wallet folio cases, this one doesn't have individual slots for multiple cards and cash. On the other hand, some people may like to show off the beautifully designed edges. So even if the Micro Suction feels secure enough, and it certainly does to me, some people might not like having the phone's edges free. ![]() Though the leather does extend well past the edges of the phone, the phone's edges themselves are not covered up. Not everyone is going to like this style. Might be too minimalist for some Nodus Access Case III: What I don't like

![]() The Middle Ghor is marked by a major tectonic boundary separating the Arabian and African Plates (Sinai-Palestinian subplate) running through the Gulf of Aqaba/Dead Sea/Jordan Valley region. At the very least, the nature of the MB II destruction matrix is highly unusual and atypical of archaeological strata throughout the ancient Near East 3. Sherds from thousands of different pottery vessels were randomly intermixed and distributed throughout the depth of the matrix along with mudbrick fragments, objects of daily life, carbonized pieces of wooden beams, charred grain, bones, and limestone cobbles burned to a chalk-like consistency. The ~ 1.5-m-thick MB II destruction matrix also exhibited rare properties not found in the strata above or below it. These suggest that the city’s destruction was associated with some unknown high-temperature event. In addition to the usual debris patterns typical of ancient cities destroyed by warfare and earthquakes, the excavations of the final phase of the MB II stratum revealed highly unusual materials: pottery sherds with outer surfaces melted into glass, some bubbled as if ‘boiled’ melted and ‘bubbled’ mudbrick fragments partially-melted roofing clay (with wattle impressions) and melted building plaster. The extensive, ongoing excavations at TeH have continued for fifteen consecutive seasons since 2006, involving principal investigators assisted by graduate and doctoral students and large numbers of volunteers from across North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Near East 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The project is under the aegis of the School of Archaeology, Veritas International University, Santa Ana, CA, and the College of Archaeology, Trinity Southwest University, Albuquerque, NM, under the auspices of the Department of Antiquities of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. All dates and ages reported here are as BCE, “Before Common Era,” and occasionally in calendar years before the year 1950 (cal BP). For archaeological periods and date ranges for the Jordan Valley, see Supporting Information, Text S1. This investigation focuses on the Middle Bronze Age II (MB II) from ~ 1800–1550 BCE. More than just a mere city, TeH comprised the urban core of a city-state that flourished nonstop for ~ 3000 years during the Chalcolithic Period and Bronze Age beginning ~ 4700 BCE until it was destroyed at ~ 1650 BCE (3600 cal BP). The site contains the stratified remains of a fortified urban center, now known as the largest continuously occupied Bronze Age city in the southern Levant 1. ![]() A mound of ancient ruins is referred to as “tel” in Hebrew and “tell” or “tall” in Arabic. TeH is a raised, two-tiered occupational mound, the largest in the Jordan Valley. Tunguska-scale airbursts can devastate entire cities/regions and thus, pose a severe modern-day hazard. ![]() Tall el-Hammam may be the second oldest city/town destroyed by a cosmic airburst/impact, after Abu Hureyra, Syria, and possibly the earliest site with an oral tradition that was written down (Genesis). An airburst-related influx of salt (~ 4 wt.%) produced hypersalinity, inhibited agriculture, and caused a ~ 300–600-year-long abandonment of ~ 120 regional settlements within a > 25-km radius. Amid city-side devastation, the airburst demolished 12+ m of the 4-to-5-story palace complex and the massive 4-m-thick mudbrick rampart, while causing extreme disarticulation and skeletal fragmentation in nearby humans. Heating experiments indicate temperatures exceeded 2000 ☌. A city-wide ~ 1.5-m-thick carbon-and-ash-rich destruction layer contains peak concentrations of shocked quartz (~ 5–10 GPa) melted pottery and mudbricks diamond-like carbon soot Fe- and Si-rich spherules CaCO 3 spherules from melted plaster and melted platinum, iridium, nickel, gold, silver, zircon, chromite, and quartz. ![]() The proposed airburst was larger than the 1908 explosion over Tunguska, Russia, where a ~ 50-m-wide bolide detonated with ~ 1000× more energy than the Hiroshima atomic bomb. We present evidence that in ~ 1650 BCE (~ 3600 years ago), a cosmic airburst destroyed Tall el-Hammam, a Middle-Bronze-Age city in the southern Jordan Valley northeast of the Dead Sea. ![]() ↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 05:50).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 03:43).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 00:12).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 00:21).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 01:14).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 14:36).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 14:04).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 05:14).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 11:50).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 14:07).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 23:49).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 19:33).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 13:38).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 07:04).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 08:41).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 05:43).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 02:12).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 02:23).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 17:13).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 03:24).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 11:17).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 21:21).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 01:11).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 03:49).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 03:29).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 04:43).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 00:53).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 23:55).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 23:54).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 17:19). ![]() ↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 08:43).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 06:33).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 22:40).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 10:28).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 10:02).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 23:28).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 17:26).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 22:25).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 15:38).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 13:03).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 21:36).↑ Google Play () (Wayback Machine: 00:49).Other characters include Angry Birds, which had an event shared with the game Angry Birds Epic in June 2015 classic Sonic, made available in July 2016 with a new stage (Green Hill Zone) And the Sanrio Event in December 2016, which made the characters available: Hello Kitty, Badtz-Maru, Chococat and My Melody. Espio the Chameleon first came as an exclusive version of Windows Phone and Amazon Fire, and was later made available to pay the other devices. In addition to these characters, there are also exclusive and events such as Andronic the Android, a unique character of the Android version, consisting of the Android mascot with a skin of Sonic the Hedgehog. These fights use the music from Sonic Lost World's Deadly Six boss fights and Sonic Adventure's Egg Hornet battle respectively. The game includes two boss battles, against Zazz and Doctor Eggman. ![]() Cream the Rabbit became a playable character though the Easter Global Challenge. Rouge the Bat was later added as a playable character in the Fifth Global Challenge. Silver the Hedgehog became playable though the Christmas Festive Challenge. Blaze the Cat was also made playable through the second global challenge. Version 1.6 added two new areas: a beach (with boats around and killer whales overhead) and underwater tubes, as seen in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Shadow the Hedgehog was later added as a playable character as part of the first global challenge. Game Center is supported with Achievements and Leaderboards. The game records how many meters the player has travelled. Scenarios and sounds are based on Seaside Hill and Ocean Palace (from Sonic Heroes) and changes as the player progresses. The player can collect rings and avoid enemies and obstacles throughout the level. The game is a endless run and jump type game in which Sonic runs through the levels automatically. The was initially sold for US$1.99, before being reduced to US$0.99 and later made free-to-play on 3 April 2013 (less than a month after release). It was accidentally revealed when it was listed as one of Hardlight's iOS games on a Job posting on February 26th, 2013. Sonic Dash is a game that is developed by Sega Europe studio Hardlight that was released for iOS and Android mobile devices. ![]()

![]() As you might expect, vanity gear has no attributes of it's own and is instead reinforced using armour inserts.Īdditionally, Avali vanity gear slots slightly differently to regular races gear. They have 'realistic' recipes and some may require you to explore a bit to find the pieces. Vanity gear is crafted at the nanolathe and nanoloom. Unlike other races tier armour, armour inserts have no appearance of their own, they are essentially invisible. Armour inserts and Vanity gear.Īrmour inserts replace tier armour for the Avali and are crafted at the anvil. So, if Avians are "Mayan Space Birds" or Hylotl are "Oriental Space Fish", then Avali are "Nomadic Space Raptors"Īvali clothing is divided into two types. Uplifted by another species (Albeit accidentally, their "benefactors" did try and wipe them out), they're now teetering on the brink of technological singularity, and and so display a paradoxical mixture of high-technology, and nomadic tribal culture. ![]() ![]() As such, they evolved with more of a focus on sound than eyesight, as such such have 4 very sensitive ears and, unsurprisingly a culture that values sound and music more than visual arts. The Avali, are nomadic pack hunters from an iceball world far outside the goldilocks zone of their local star. So, instead I'll take a rather long approach. To try summarise them with a single barrage of adjectives, it'd probably look something like this: "4-earred-diminutive-post-singularity-fluffy-nomadic-space-raptor-hunter-jerboa-bird-singers". Providing the fluffiest space raptors since 2014 Introduction ![]() Guilty Crown and Sword Art Online are both set in the future and the two main characters also share some common traits.
