What are your favorite cases for the HTC One M9?

Almost forgot, why did I get this color? It's kind of obvious, lol

My Dot View arrives tomorrow. Quick question. How difficult is it to use the camera with the case on?
 
I just picked up a few cases by Ghostek. All of them are great, but the "Armadillo" in particular is really nice. Great fit. Glass screen protector. Pretty sturdy. For the money I'd say it's hard to beat!

I am looking at a leather (not sure that it is real leather) case with both belt loops and belt clip. I have used this style of case for my previous phones and been very happy the case did not slip off the belt which happens all too often with just a belt clip. I get them on Ebay but I expect they should be available elsewhere.
I learned the hard way, the HTC One and HTC One M9 are different sizes, so when ordering do not just order a case for the HTC One as I did.

I cannot link, but to see an example of what I want, search on Amazon for
HTC One M9 Holster, CellBee® HTC One M9 Premium PU Leather Pouch Carrying Case with Belt Clip Belt Loops Holster

I saw a similar more pricey version in a mall kiosk. They had one with a bit more room than necessary. When I showed him that, he reached in the lower drawer and came up with one that was a perfect fit. He asked $28.00 for it. :-$ When I hesitated, he dropped the price to $22.00. This was at the Jordan Creek Mall in West Des Moines, IA.

My new concern is there is no room for heat relief which the M9 requires as many apps continue to use the CPU and memory when in sleep mode (display off). I carried it in my shirt pocket and the m9 was getting very warm ... a certain cell phone killer over time.

I just received my heavy duty case. It is an interesting design, where the phone slips into the holster cover, like the Otterbox defender, It protects well enough.
 
It's a bit inconvenient but not too difficult. That said, if I anticipate that I'll be taking a lot of pictures I'll generally put on a different case.

Android does keep apps loaded into memory, but they should not be using any CPU power unless called upon. If your phone is getting hot while sleeping, then something is wrong that is not the norm. You may need to look at the possibility of having a rogue app on your device.

Dot view case is pretty good, not quite as good as I thought it'd be though

I ended up retiring my Dot View. Looks cool, not very functional. I still use it on occasion, but for day to day I use the HTC Clear Shield. I love that case.
 
My friend is using "Seidio Dilex Pro Case", It looks fantastic and it's soft touch finish makes it very comfortable. And it provides good protection to the phone.
 
Grey Incipio Feather case. Gives a smoother texture (it grips the 'ledge' and smooths it out) with a bit more grippier texture. It's not as grippy as the black one I had with the motoX. Note, there is not much screen protection with the feather - I am using a glass screen protector which I love - super slick - but thicker than normal screen pros, and if I place the phone face down, the glass is a hair higher than the edge of the case. So it'll slide like an ice cube on a hot griddle if I set it down facedown anywhere not perfectly flat.
