Tech21 Evo Mesh Case for iPhone 7

The Tech21 Evo Mesh Case for iPhone 7 is available exclusively at the Apple Store.

Tech21's Evo Mesh Case powerfully safeguards your iPhone 7 with intelligent impact protection. That means impact force is absorbed, dissipated, and repelled away from your iPhone thanks to scientifically proven, hybrid impact-protection FlexShock material that’s injection molded into the Energy Absorbing System (E.A.S.). Ultra-thin and extremely lightweight, Evo Mesh offers tough protection for your iPhone, while preserving its natural beauty.

The information on the box and the website states that this case protects your iPhone from 9.9 foot drops.

That's better than what the standard Apple Leather case would do.

I've had this case for less than a week and really like it. All the buttons work fine and there's room for many different lightning connectors that I've tried.

Lists for $39.95 online.

Love Lock Bridge Salzburg, Austria

Love Lock Bridge Salzburg, Austria – Read on Medium

In Salzburg, Austria we stayed at the Sheraton Grand Salzburg. At the front desk we asked for directions to the local shopping areas. The old town shopping was just down the street. The desk clerk, marked a footbridge that we should cross with a little heart shape, telling us to cross the love bridge.

I had no idea at the time, that this footbridge, would be covered in love locks.

Dachau concentration camp

Dachau concentration camp – Read on Medium:

“Arbeit macht frei,” or “Work sets you free,” is seen in the wrought-iron gate as you enter Dachau concentration camp in Germany. As we approached the entrance of the concentration camp, I had decided not to take a lot of photos. Maybe a few here and there, but mainly I was there to take in the site without any distractions. Little did I know that my experience at the entrance would be the most emotional moment of my visit.
