As the launch of the HTC One slowly approaches, it’s becoming very evident that HTC’s One device approach is already paying off. We’ve already seen the official HTC One accessory lineup from HTC, but we’re starting to notice quite a few third-part accessories show up on online retailers like Amazon.
Today, we stumbled upon the new HTC One cases from Otterbox. HTC One owners will have the option to choose between the Otterbox Defender and Otterbox Commuter series cases which are available in a variety of colors. The HTC One Commuter Series cases are listed at $34.95 while the Defender Series cases are priced at $49.95 and $59.95.You can find more details about the Otterbox HTC One case lineup below, but we do suggest taking a look at them on Otterbox.com. the HTC One Otterbox cases are not shipping quite yet, but we suspect they will be available quite soon since the phone is expected to start shipping to customers as early as March 15th in Europe and March 22nd in the United States.

Hi,
So do we know if this phone will definitely not be out on Verizon?
All we know is that Verizon has decided not be be an initial HTC One launch partner. That being said, we have a feeling that Verizon will be launching an HTC One variant (probably with a different name and a slightly tweaked design) once they decide that the DROID DNA has run its course.
It’s a shame really. Beautiful little devices which look awesome, but once we get them we put them in all sorts of covers to protect them, hiding all those nice rounded and beveled corners and other design features. (I only have my phone in a cover when I’m at work)
What is the point of having a beautifully designed phone if you are going to hide it in that giant glob of plastic.
You guys are a bunch of goobs.
