So I've had my One for about 3.5 months now and since day one I've had this case on it Nillkin Thin Side Flip Leather Cover Case. Before I go any further I want to say that for the money this is a great case if you are looking for a flip-style cover case, which 3-months ago, I was.
The problem is that when it is flipped closed it covers the whole phone. You only get a look at the front when the flip cover is open and after 3-months I just wanted to see more of this beautiful-looking phone. Enter the Insipio Feather Case and the Poetic Palette SLIM Hard Case which are about two of the most minimalist cases you will be able to find for the HTC One that provide full protection for the back of the phone and leave the front fully exposed for those of us who just like to stare at our phones (I still do after 3.5 months)
I went with the Poetic Palette only because a friend of mine has the Insipio case and I noticed on his phone the volume rocker was a bit hard to get at with the Insipio case. Anyway I received the Poetic case about a week ago and all I can say is I wish this was the case I had been using since Day one. This phone (and no I'm not being an obnoxious homer fan boy even though I sound like one ) is really a beautiful piece of hardware and sometimes I think we forget how good-looking some of these phones are (yes, even non-HTC devices ) when we cover them with big clunky cases so here's to the One (and other devices) being beautiful phones and showing them off with minimalist cases
