I just got it today and I absolutely love it! The only thing I don't like is, when you flip it back then its a little slippery! But thats all! It fits great and just looks great on the phone!
[One (M8) Accessories] Ajkowal:
I have mixed feelings about it. When I bought my HTC One from Verizon, I was told that they weren't going to have the Dot View cases in stock for at least a month or two due to the high demand of them. Because of this, I picked up the Incipio Black Feather Case. Funny enough, the next day after buying I get a phone call from Verizon saying they got a single dot view case in being held for me. The case itself feels incredibly cheap. While it definitely feels like it can protect my screen, the backing of the case feels just like a cheap plastic. For the cost of the case, I was expecting something a little bit better in the build quality.

As for the case itself, its too gimmicky for me for the time being. It only works with default HTC apps. I use a different SMS app (Sliding Messenger Pro) and the Gmail app for my email. Neither of these are supported by the dot view case. I've tried googling around to see if there's a work around for these or a separate dot view app that allows these but have yet to find anything. The only thing I could use the case for was the time, answering phone calls, voice dialing, and changing my volume. I really wanted to be able to see my sms / email notifications on screen.

Im also not a fan of the folding case in general yet. I'm not used to the folding and I often text with one hand so it makes it rather awkward to try and hold the case open in order to text.

I don't know though.. if I could use my own SMS / Gmail apps with it instead of the default HTC ones, I might want to use it again. Until then, its going to sit on my desk unused.

Dot View case Pros and Cons

I have been using the HTC Dot View case for about 2 weeks now. Here are some simple pros and cons

Pros:

Look...Seamless and perfect compliment to the M8

Feel...plastic and rubber that seems like a good build

Protection...Fully covers screen with rubber "dot" flap and plastic back wraps the back and corners of the metal body of the phone

Alerts...Easy to read 8 bit type text and icons (looks great in the dark)

Cons:

Price...I got mine for $50 at an AT&T retail store

Dust/lint...gets trapped in the "dots" find myself using a can of BlowOff keeping it clean

Alert Limitations...can only use the HTC apps with this case

I would recommend if you have $50 to blow. I personally don't like 3rd party accessories so willing to pay for the HTC branded products. I love my DotView case but trying to provide a unbiased opinion.
[One (M8) Accessories] Randomjoel:
I just got mine in the mail a week ago. So far, I love it. I just hope that HTC releases updates to allow third party notifications like Gmail, Facebook, etc. I would also really like if they could integrate a music player controls as well. But all in all, it's a great accessory to such an amazing device.
[One (M8) Accessories] afilopou:
Anyone with a warm black dot view? Is it black or grey? Also if you can post the part number (you can find it on box backcover)
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
Anyone notice a couple of holes are kind of shiny inside? Like something is on the plastic film that's in the holes. Anyone cleaned theirs yet? Would water and soap be ok?
[One (M8) Accessories] skcitzo:
don't poke or remove the peices in the holes it keeps the stuff off it screen and I just wiped it down with some water it cleans up quite nicely I wouldn't use soap some soaps kill pixels so yah... No glass cleaner either my friend sprayed his with some trying to make it shinier it killed the Nfc tag in it
[One (M8) Accessories] sageandonion:
I think the idea behind the case is solid but its execution is flawed. Mine seems to loose its grip on the top corners as the plastic is too hard and needs a more grippy material. I've swapped 3 cases now. Its been mentioned before about the short hinge not letting the front sit flat on the back. I do love and find the display very useful. Hopefully a third party will be able to remedy the faults.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Just looked at my DotView and to be honest I can't notice any of those flaws. Had mine on awhile now and it'd still holding solid.

Cyanogenmod Compatability

If I flash CM11 Nightly on my Verizon M8 will the dot view case still be compatible?
[One (M8) Accessories] hugebulge:
I got one but I'm not a fan of holding it in one hand while it's open. I'll probably sell or trade it.
[One (M8) Accessories] jlevy73:
Overall disappointed. Sure it's a nice case and, feels good in the hand but the hinge on it makes it almost unusable for daily use. If you only open your phone a few times a day it's probably perfect but if you actually need to use the device totally annoying. Will return it.
[One (M8) Accessories] Randomjoel:
I noticed the same shiny spots on mine. I'm not to worried about it but curious none the less... I clean mine with only water. and compressed air.
[One (M8) Accessories] FlowingAway:
Yeah! I've tried compressed air and water but the 2 shiny holes remain. They always catch my eye when I glance down and I think I have a notification or something.
[One (M8) Accessories] PaulHBK:
Anyone have the "Orange" dot view case? If so, is it really orange, because the images online look more like it's red?
[One (M8) Accessories] Tower1972:
ATM no but it looks like they are working on it. You will also lose Motion Launch and use of the secondary depth camera with CM

[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
Be careful not to drop the phone in this case. Dropped it less than a foot onto the top left edge, left a dent in the black plastic bar on top of the phone.
[One (M8) Accessories] djmatt604:
Next gen Dot View should have a flush foldover. Biggest detractor for me. Love it otherwise...only a matter of time before features are ported to aosp and more functions are added (gapps etc)
[One (M8) Accessories] MrPeter1985:
May or May not help, I noticed the phone has an Dot View app installed. That may all that is needed to get it working on another ROM. Seems to use a NPC chip. That is what I'm guess is detecting when the case is opened or closed. The HTC on the front lines up with the Small box on the inside.

I willing to sell mine too as holding it with one hand it not an option with this case.
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
I figure it's a magnet. My money clip on my wallet activates the screen. EDIT: Just tested it. Yeah if I hold my wallet towards the left side of the screen then slide it, the dot view activates.
[One (M8) Accessories] jlevy73:
Yeah it's definitely a magnet. Flar's kernel has the option to remove magnetic detection.
[One (M8) Accessories] lukes91:
i have it... it's dark grey, not black... i will post the part number as soon as i get home today (i hope i remember :angel:)

edit: the product name is HC M100... not sure if this changes according to colors, anyway...
[One (M8) Accessories] charly-whiskey:
Crap!

OK, I really like gadgets and fancy things to show off. But this is reduculous!

I got my DotView yesterday, blue, nice feeling. But the hinge is terrible, can't keep it open, it always flips back. Since I have a 0,3 mm tempered glass on my screen, it does not close any more, stays open a little.

In my iBolt xDockPro it even pushes my One M8 out of the dock! And I am pretty sure, it is such a crappy material that it will look scatched and ugly after few days of use, like the cover that came with my phone.

So, after just 10 minutes I pushed it back into the box and returned it.
[One (M8) Accessories] mr.almeida:
I have the gray one and I like it. When I'm at home I usually take it off, but for on the go it has good protection and it's sturdy.
[One (M8) Accessories] ChrisHRocks:
Hey I just noticed the grey dot view case is down to £23.45 on Amazon UK

http://amzn.to/RdKsIP
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Hence I bought the Mime Feather glass protector. Any of the thicker ones wouldn't play nice.

To be honest if the hinge wasn't like that, it would not stay closed.
[One (M8) Accessories] charly-whiskey:
Right, but there are some options out there which help keeping the case closed, eg. magnets, clips, etc. I used some cases with my Samsung devices, never had that problem like with the DotView. Already returned, I find something better.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Oh I'm not saying it couldn't have been designed better. Just without some sort of clasp the flap would have to be made that way, to re-close. Otherwise it's key function, the Dot View display would not work well.

It's fine getting another case of course. But it won't have Dot View.

I'm hoping other manufacturers are able to manufacture similar cases that make use of Dot View. I don't see why they couldn't (unless there is some sort of patent on the design).

I'm also hoping HTC add features to the app so we can receive third party notifications.

I got my grey a few weeks back @ £27
[One (M8) Accessories] ekabon:
Amazon sells it for around 23£ now. But I'm still hesitating because of the typing problems when it's folded back and the flappiness:) I think I'll wait for a bit, maybe something better will come up ;)
[One (M8) Accessories] aimfire72:
Got mine at a Verizon store a few weeks ago for $44... Strange price, but it's $6 off the usual $50 retail price. Not a Verizon customer, but they're the only place around here that has some in-store stock. To be honest, I've only used it once just to try it out... I agree, the flap is kind of an issue. But I still think it's cool and have decided to keep it, might start using it again soon.
[One (M8) Accessories] SoulSlayerPT:
I bought one of this cases to my M8 (WARM black) but the case is grey? There is no difference between the grey case and the warm black one? Anyone bought a warm black case? Is it black or grey? Or i received a grey one?
[One (M8) Accessories] teckfrek:
Best case I've ever owned. Yes a little weird when folded back but honestly I'm used to it. The form fitting of the case and the auto on/off of the screen can't be beat. I can't stand using the power button to turn the screen on.
[One (M8) Accessories] :
There were a lot of people blasting the case including myself. But I realized that HTC made it that way on purpose so that it's always closed...including during a fall while it is open.

Noticed this when holding it in my hand wide open with the flap behind it. Dropped it and the flap closed well before it hit the ground, saving my screen. The flip case I had on my Samsung was the complete opposite, it would open during the fall which defeats the purpose lol. That's why there are so many cracked screens with the Samsung flip covers.
[One (M8) Accessories] big70tom:
This is the best case ever. If you rely on your phone for business it's ideal. It protects your glass from scratches, everything. Once you get used to it, use one handed is no problem.
[One (M8) Accessories] lukes91:
totally agree!
[One (M8) Accessories] NeroDan:
FYI...there is now an xposed module to send all notifications to the case in addition to other controls (Dialer, contacts, music controls/info). Works really well.

About the color...back in my Touchpro days, we used RIT dye to change the color of the gray cases to black. I bought some, but I've yet to use it thinking the process may ruin the dotview. If anyone is willing to try it, I'd love to see the results!

Youtube video of the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpKpmFYqyqQ
[One (M8) Accessories] Deathsnuggle:
I thought about doing that when I got my rouge case (it was pink, returned it) . But since the holes in the case are really clear plastic I would guess the dye would turn those black too.
[One (M8) Accessories] wongkev:
I too find it a bit difficult to hold the phone with the cover folded back, otherwise I love the case. It was one of the reasons I went for this phone.

I wonder if it would have been better with the hinge at the top....?

Has anyone found a dock which works well with the case on?
[One (M8) Accessories] nO.One2:
i don't know if its mentioned earlier on this thread, but you can use an xposed framework mod to expand the functionality of the dot view cover ;)...
[One (M8) Accessories] insane08:
I received my case today and honestly love it so far. Highly recommended but read below first.

The functionality after installing the xpose mods shows its potential. Im excited to see what other improvements they make. You can set up quick contact pages to call directly from the dot view and even control your music. Plus the quick Snake game you can play while waiting around. (beware that to fully unlock the xpose functionality you have to buy the key for like $2 off the market place)

The only thing I’m really mad about is I had to take off my tempered glass AND full body protection kit due to the flap not closing completely :crying: . I still have another spare though so thats not a big issue for me. If you’ve spend a good amount on the tempered glass and body kit then pass on buying this. Not worth the hassle. If you don’t mind then definitely give it a buy.
[One (M8) Accessories] stratplayer:
I picked up this case today in Carphonewarehouse in the UK as they are half price ast £17.50 at the moment.

But.. even at this price I am not impressed with it, I have two major issues with this case

1. With a tempered glass screen protector it stops the case from lying flat on the face on the phone, infact you would need a very thin protector to avoid it affecting the case

2. It is almost impossible to see the screen in strong daylight outside!

The flap wanting to bend back is annoying, but you can live with it. But not being able to see the display, which to be fair is the main reason for buying this case is unforgivable for me. So I am taking mine back, and sticking with my HTC Double Dip case, even if it is like a bar of soap in hand :)

Full refund received on the case... now for a Plan B case to go with my HTC Double Dip
[One (M8) Accessories] xseanxbutlerx:
There are several methods available for using different apps with the Dot View Case. There are Xposed modules that you can download. There is an app in the Themes and Apps section, and there is the ViperOne ROM if you want to go the custom ROM route. Personally, as all these methods require ROOT, I would install the ViperOne ROM by team Venom. It is a very stable ROM and offers thousands of customizations through its powerful Venom Tweaks app. It also offers the Venom Hub which you can download and apply custom themes, keyboards, boot animations, Icon packs, backgrounds, etc.

I just booght a HTC dot case, and can't get the weather to show. It just shows an email icon only. How can I change the settings?

It sounds like you have unread email or Gmail notifications. The weather shows as default when you have no notifications. There are no customization options unless you use one of the available xposed modules.

Nope.. I think it's a design flaw.. I got mine the day they were released and it doesn't lay flat.. But if you're rooted.. I can recommend an app that enables alot more then the stock HTC abilities.. As in if you get a test message from any app. It will scroll the whole message across your screen.. Not just show the icon like HTC has it

Just picked up the Dot View case. I'm putting up with it since its quite different. Two major problems I have with it is A) the flap does not sit flush on my screen and B) I cannot use the motion launch gesture to activate the camera with the volume button.

I enjoyed the speed of the m8's camera so if I can't launch it with the volume rocker, then the case has to go!

i got it 3-4 days ago and after use i believe that i don't like it.

It's rubber, you can easy by mistake, call someone.

it leaves marks on the screen, inside dot holes are easily becoming dirty and it's hard to clean. fliping it to write texts feels uncomfortable ... but it's cool looking when lights are on..

For my new M8 I was actually interested in this case. Im glad i came here to read up on it because I didn't know it only worked on HTC apps. I also use third party apps a lot and there is no point of paying so much money when i can find some quality cases for 1/5 the price on amazon compared to this.

here's what my background looks like, plus pic of some of the features from the dotview xposed mod that im running on my phone. for anyone who is rooted I would highly suggest u try out this mod, u will not be disappointed!! it adds extra features to ur dotview case, such as access to a dail pad, calculator, torch, a game of snake, and my personal favorite, the ability to take pictures with ur dot view case closed so u don't have to fumble with the cover while trying to snap a quick pic. it also allows u to customize the swipe gestures on the case to control music playback as well as a whole bunch of other cool features. It definitely takes ur dot view case from just a cool novelty item to a very stylish and very practical feature packed accessory!! definitely check it out!!
