this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by audible what's up everyone John rhett endure from TechnoBuffalo here a full review on the HTC one is coming but I wanted to talk first about what's gonna protect your phone and that is the dot of you case go ahead run through all the pros and cons and see if it's worth you're about fifty bucks so full candor I'm not usually a big fan of flippy style cases whether it's Samsung's SFU case or sort of other third-party cases out there usually I like to just see my phone so I saw the dot view case I was kind of intrigued though because you could see information on the front you can interact with the phone and the case I thought it was just kind of neat so what is the dot view case so first it protects the back and the front of your phone the back goes into serve a plastic finish plastic back in the front has sort of a rubber feel to it it's got a whole bunch of little dots similar to a dot matrix right there on it so when you DoubleTap the screen like you would if it wasn't protected it would unlock it we double tap it using the dot view case you can see quick information so you can see the time you can see the weather sort of handy if you have emails it'll pull up a little email logo if you got a text let's pull up a text box you can see the clouds what the weather is and you can interact it as well so when you see the weather you can just hold it down and I'll tell you what temperature that's kind of neat but one the coolest things for me the reasons I didn't like to flip because every time I want to answer my phone have to usually open it up look who's calling answer it and then put it up to my ear this one you can actually interact with the phone again while it's closed somebody's calling you swipe it up and you just answer it while it's closing up to your ear on to climb the call you just swipe down and did a really cool job with it see wonder how it worked it's pretty simple the case is just dots with holes in it on the phone actually does all the work so it pulls up kind of a bigger box text and if you open the phone up really quickly you can see what it looks like behind it and it's just really neat they're kind of ingenious way break just need to make a case so when I say you interact with it you got to touch the case to actually make it work but you got a touch really hard so you don't just sort of tap it lightly you got to sort of dig your finger in there to make it move if you like it kind of case it's gonna protect your phone sort of give you something else sort of keep the screen protected it's a pretty good option you're gonna have cutouts on the back for cameras and the flash one thing that annoyed me don't want to take a picture you got to sort of hold it kind of weird so if you want to take a picture obviously you can't fold this back it's gonna cover it so I got a sort of either hold it with one hand or sort of hold the case and then use the camera and try and take a picture could be a bit difficult and kind of annoying take a picture with it also when you're trying to interact with the phone when it's open since the phone curves the case doesn't curve so it sort of sits weirdly on it and it feels kind of uncomfortable in your hand like it's trying to open itself up so as I hold it here you can see it really wants to sort of kick itself forward so sort of be prepared going into it it's old that right now we can find it at some places if you want a case that again it's can protect your back and give you some information on the front you be protected it's a pretty good option I used it for the whole weekend it's about 10 app days and I kind of liked it am I gonna keep it on my phone probably now I'm done climbing this video in the review I'll probably go back in the box now just good song for me might not mean it's not for you for the kind of person that likes flippy cases it's probably the best flippy case I've ever tested and I just flip the case probably not the technical term it's a dot view case again it's gonna be about 50 bucks if you want to check when I go to HTC comm for all of that information we're taking a quick break from talking
