The unibody aluminum design of the HTC One (M8) is out of this world, but most people would rather throw a case of their phone to protect it rather than taking their chances and risk a few scuffs or a cracked screen. We’ve been enjoying the official Dot View case for the HTC One (M8), but a new case from Nillkin caught our attention this morning. There are already several dozen HTC one (M8) cases from third-party accessory makers, but the Nillkin Fresh Faux Leather HTC One M8 View Case is the first one we’ve spotted which tries to replicate the functionality HTC introduced with the Dot View case.
The View Case from Nillkin is available in red and black and has a cut-out window at the top to display the time and caller ID on the screen of the HTC One (M8). The case does not show the other information that typically display when HTC’s Dot View case is used with the One (M8), but it’s at least a start.
Case makers who make flip cases for the HTC One (M8) simply have to include a few magnets into the case in order to take advantage of the HTC One (M8)’s Dot View functionality. It’ll be interesting to see which case makers will step up to the plate and deliver something that’s as compelling as what HTC has already released.

I don’t think that the Nillkin case can be considered a Dot View case. It’s more like a s-view case that shows the clock.
There are plenty of third party dot view style cases on amazon and ebay, check this out:
