Update to the HTC 1 M9 View Case: More Customization and Functionality

As we take a look at the updated view case for the HTC 1 M9, it's clear that there aren't too many changes from the original case that came with the HTC 1 M8. However, this doesn't mean that there isn't anything new to be excited about. For starters, the case now comes in quite a few more colors than before, giving users even more options when it comes to personalizing their phone.

One of the standout features of the updated view case is its translucent back. This allows users to show off the back of their HTC 1 M9, rather than covering it up with a plain color on the back. While this may seem like a small change, it's definitely a nice touch that sets the case apart from some of its competitors.

Unfortunately, the updated view case doesn't quite live up to our expectations in terms of feel. The new cases have less of a soft touch feel to them, and instead feel a bit more hard and plasticky. This is a bummer, especially considering that the original do view case felt much more premium. However, it's worth noting that this doesn't affect the overall functionality of the case.

One of the most notable features of the updated view case is its Smart Cover capability. When you open up the case, you'll be able to turn on your screen with ease. However, when the case is closed, you'll still have access to many of the same gestures that you would use when bringing your phone up to your face. This includes swiping left and right, or even down, to trigger certain actions like voice recording.

In addition to these gestures, the updated view case also allows for a few other tricks. For example, double tapping on the screen will bring up a quick look at your notifications, complete with a nice-looking background to boot. This is a great feature that adds an extra layer of functionality to the case.

However, it's worth noting that some of these features are not new to the view case. They've been around for a while, and have become a standard part of the case's overall experience. That being said, the addition of new apps like Marquee effect is always welcome.

One app that stands out in particular is Marquee effect, which scrolls past all of the dots on the screen. This is a great feature that adds an extra layer of visual interest to the notification screen. And with the updated view case, you'll have access to even more customization options than before.

In terms of color options, the updated view case comes in a range of different hues. Pictured here are gray, yellow, and blue versions of the case - but there are many other colors available as well. This means that users will be able to find a case that perfectly matches their phone's aesthetic, without breaking the bank.

Overall, the updated view case for the HTC 1 M9 is a great option for anyone looking to customize their phone while still getting the functionality they need. With its Smart Cover capability and range of customization options, it's easy to see why this case has become so popular among users.

translucent fashion now you'll be able to show off the back of the HTC1 M9 and not cover it up with just a plain color on the back uh also these particular cases have less of a soft touch feel to them which is something that I thought was a bit of a bummer because they feel a little bit more hard plasticky and thus not really quite as premium as the do view case from the previous Edition but that being said you still have all of the dots on the front that will cover the screen and a small magnet inside of the case will trigger the Smart Cover capability is when you open up the case you will be able to turn on the screen quite easily but it is when the case is closed that you have all of the functionality coming underneath the same gestures that are used when bringing the motion of the phone up to your face and then double tapping on the screen are available here even just swiping to the left and right or even down in order to trigger the voice recording for example but double tapping on there will bring you a quick look at your notifications and give you a nice looking background to boots now this is not necessarily new in The View case and is definitely a functionality that is quite nice to have when you have a case on here that's supposed to protect it and also be able to bring you a little bit of functionality as well but from there there is actually a viw case application that we saw in the 1 M9 that has been updated to provide a little bit more customization when it comes to your experience with this particular case one in particular is the ability to theme the the
