Now that the 2014 HTC One is finally official, now we can find out all its lovely little secrets, including that flip cover that was leaked prior to the device’s announcement. While the leak seemed to suggest that the flip cover would only serve as a notification screen, a video posted today (which uses the case’s real name, the HTC Dot View case) showcases the various uses of the accessory. Check it out:
While I was never a fan of
Samsung’s S-View case, I’m really digging
HTC‘s take on a utility case. The fact that it uses the whole front cover as a screen and has meaningful gestures built into it really reinforces the fact that you can use your
new HTC One without ever opening the case. The only downside, which has been suggested ever since the Dot View case was leaked, is the fact that the 2014 HTC One uses a Super LCD 3 screen which won’t be as power efficient as an AMOLED screen in the same application. That said, we don’t know exactly how HTC has configured this so we’ll just have to see when people actually get their hands on it.
What do you think about the HTCÂ Dot View case? Is it everything you dreamed of? Let us know what your thoughts on it are in the comments.
