How is it?

I like it, my main complaint so far is that it lacks the spring back of the dot view case which can be a pain depending on the fit of case on your phone. It likes to hover off the screen like a 1/8 inch as soon as you start tilting the phone towards you. Im talking holding it flat and then moving towards vertical, the case will want to open the cover on its own. It doesnt like to always sit flat either, had to use a little bending to get mine to sit better. Its by no means a deal breaker, and it may be something that people would prefer over the spring back that the dot view had.
Beyond some fitment quirks. I love the actual display it has. Battery life is present of course, time, weather. When you get a message in hangouts, you can actually read it right on the screen as long as its not an overly long message. Gmail goes the same way, you can read some of the message, but it wont show overly long emails in full. I havent tested with texts yet as I dont text very often. (my friends and I all use group chat on hangouts to communicate)
It still does the whole swipe the notification icon to have the phone open the message/mail etc when opening the cover. One thing I would like though is the ability to clear the notification without having to open the phone. There could be for all I know, but I havent found it yet. Also its something that can be added Im sure.
With the case being in preorder from HTC, maybe they are tweaking some things on the case itself and the one I got was early model or something. Guess we wont know til they finally start shipping them. They may also be making updates to the app itself when cases ship. Hard to say. But Im happy with my purchase regardless of having to adjust how I use flip cases compared to my dot view case. For 30 bucks its a steal, of course we have no clue when you will get said shipment. Any other questions, I can do my best to answer.

The cover isn't held in place by a magnet?
I am still waiting on my preorder from HTC.
Is there a coupon code to get the discount? I checked my email and I do not have an email from them. I will cancel my order and reorder from them if I can get a coupon code.
I think what happened is that they had the case on a Memorial Weekend sale for $30, and ran out of inventory - it's now showing as Out of Stock, with the original $50 price for pre-order. Bummed because I was going to order one...

I don't think they had them before or after the promotion. I've been waiting for mine for six weeks.
( pre-ordered with the phone )
