Boost your phone’s cool quotient!

The Ice View asks the question “what if your phone’s flip cover was see-through? The purpose of a flip cover is to guard the screen from any accidental impact, but that pretty much means you can’t see squat until you flip it open. Flip covers with circular or squarish holes don’t make sense either. It kind of defeats the purpose if your cover doesn’t completely guard your screen right? Well the HTC Ice View cover’s just what we all need. Using cleverly engineered PolyUrethane, the cover is actually translucent. But when rested on the screen, it allows you to see necessary information displayed on your lock screen. What’s better, it’s scratch and impact resistant, AND TOUCH SENSITIVE! Which pretty much puts it high above the competition.

A classy looking metal blip on the bottom left not only provides space for branding, it also conceals the magnet that unlocks your phone when you flip it over. Neat! Ain’t it?!
