The main improvement is the back of the case which is now clear, allowing you to show off the metal chassis of the HTC One M9 while keeping it protected. While the basic functionality of the case hasn’t change much, the design has been tweaked to improve its visual appeal and ergonomics. Like the original Dot View case for last year’s HTC One M8, the Dot View 2 case offers protection for the phone along all sides while enabling you to view and interact with notifications through the case’s front flap. If you want to protect your HTC One M9 while adding some near functionality to it at the same time, the HTC Dot View 2 case is your best option. The HTC One M9 is a phone which is begging to show off its design, but we all know that we’re more clumsy than we think, dropping our phone or banding them against tables, hand rails or walls which seem to pop up out of nowhere. If patience is one of your virtues, you can also wait (and hope) for an Xposed module to pop up with similar functionality.Buying a new phone can be a stressful decision, but it’s often a lot easier than choosing the right case to go along with it. You can find the download link of the DotView Notifications app here. However, with HTC unlikely to open up the APIs for the DotView case for developers to hook into, this application is your best bet to get notifications from third-party apps on it. Sadly, the app requires root access as well as a ROM that has been deodexed with signature verification disabled, which is a bummer. It also allows them to customize the default color for the built-in notifications as well as for the Weather widget.

The app allows users to select the list of applications which notifications they want to be displayed on the case. A developer over at XDA forums has taken matters into his own hands and released an app, dubbed Venom DotView notifications, that can display notifications from all the third-party apps installed on the One M8 on the case. While it can show your missed calls, voicemails, text messages and more, it is limited to only the HTC specific apps, which greatly limits its usefulness. The Dot View case for the HTC One M8 is among the most innovative accessories available for any Android device.
