HTC has introduced an interesting accessory for the new HTC One (M8) smartphone in the form of Dot View case. This flip cover from the company not only acts as a case for the phone but also allows users to see information like time, weather, date, caller-ID and more without opening it. The consumers can even swipe on the case to answer to decline a call, pretty cool right?.

It will be sold in multiple colour options for $50 in the United States, we can expect similar pricing in other markets.

HTC press note:

HTC Dot View case – protect your phone with retro flair

An outstanding phone deserves a case that protects and extends its innovative design and industry-leading functionality. Optimised by HTC Sense 6, the new HTC Dot View phone case protects the screen, whilst displaying notifications and interactions in a retro, dot-matrix style.

Taking that sixth sense functionality one step further you can extend Motion Launch by double tapping the dot view case, in addition to checking the time, weather, new texts, emails and calls – without touching or revealing the screen.
