I picked one of these up at Radio Shack yesterday, because I am tired of the original case. The Athena/Advantage fits perfectly with/without the keyboard. Without the keyboard it slides in and out very well. With the keyboard, like any new case it is a little snug, but after one day of use, it works wonderfully.
The front flap is magnetized and remains closed. The only true draw back is that there is no belt clip. This will be remedied today by going to the alteration shop and having them put a belt loop on it for me.
If anyone wants some pictures of it in with the Athena/Advantage in use let me know and I'll post. Time to get ready for work.

I agree you need a belt clip and it as eaglesteve pointed out, it doesn't. I am having problems getting the photos I took with the device inside the case posted, but I'm not giving up yet. Darn sony memory cards won't fit into standard laptop sd/mmc/cf slots. Time to get an adapter.
Hey, Just about right
Can you post some picture of the Advantage in this case... Please .. share the love man..

Hi there !
Any news of your photos of your leather case ?
Pls post some for all Athenians to see , thanks and regards -

I'm interested in the above mentioned case from Swiss Mobility. Anyone here with experiences to share with this case (used together with X1)? I can't find a distributor in Europe - anyone knows where to buy it in Europe? (I know BestBuy has them, but the nearest store is 6000 miles away and shipping is twice the cost of the case). Swiss Mobility's web site hasn't worked for some time. Anyone knows what's up with that?
http://www.xperiadepot.com/swiss-mobility-legion-smartphone-case/4A80A3757.htm
They ship to Europe with courier service (3-5 days) for 25 usd. same price for the case so I suppose its worth it if you want to order together a couple more accessories.
currently unavailable
Looks great, too bad it's unavailable!
They are probably unavailable because Swiss Mobility went under the radar.
How exactly are carrying cases worn?
I've seen people wear carrying cases only a scarce amount of times, and I totally forgot how people manage to wear these.
I have a carrying case for my phone (not the Xperia), and it is so bulky! It's for the Samsung SCH-i760 btw. Anyways, so this is how I wear it: I basically use the "clip" to clip onto my belt, but I notice it is so bulky.
So when I usually wear shirts that cover almost pass the fly/zipper of my pants. And when I try to pull my shirt down to cover my pant, it covers the damn thing, and it looks like I got big tumor on the right or left side of my stomach.
So then I clip it on my pocket, it looks better, but now the pong hangs more loosely. It's kinda funny how these carrying cases rarely have a model for them to wear the carrying case, this is because companies know that it's freaking ugly to carry these things, ugly = no sales.
So if I am doing it all wrong, and if I am wrong that it's freaking ugly, then tell me this: what is the proper method of wearing these damn things?

Tuck your shirt in.
beware magnets
that swiss case uses a magnet, when i had a case that used magnets i found that when i got a call the phone would wake up and as the phone passed by the magnet when getting it out it would think that the slide had been activated and rotate . by the time this happened i could not answer the call in time and it went to messaging.
This may have been more of an issue with some of the earlier roms that I was using that were quite slow to rotate.
you might be able to work round this depending on the strength of the magnet and/or what orientation you put the phone in the case.
I bought a case that is secured by velcro to avoid this problem, however a couple of months later the velcro has worn out and does not stay closed. I may get my old magnet case out again and see if the new faster roms are better at coping.
i want get this case so long already where i can get it?
I brought a cliphanger and the dell form case
http://www.cliphanger.com/index.php?p_resource=home_loop&p_itc_title=loop
this is the result
Works perfect for me when i carry my phone around my waist .
I used to have waist pouches as they used to bump against me
I was carrying this one and i am surprised to see that i dont even realise that the phone is there.
( can be dangerous if some one decides to snatch it
Is that the Dell case with a carabiner attached?
It not strictly a carabiner but something similar to it.
Its made of soft material.
I can take some pics of me wearing it tmw evening and post it.
The best part is people keep staring at it all the time.
I love this machine !!!!!!
That is cool and all, but I'd be very concerned about having the screen hanging out

The screen is pretty tough...
However the form case itself is not the best protection streak can get

I just ordered this case, so I cannot give any feedback yet however I do have a coupon code to get $30.00 off.
The case ended up being ~$25.00 shipped.
The coupon code is REDDIT30

Ordered! Thanks!
Thanks for posting this up, I just bit as well and picked one up. I hope its as good as it looks. I'll post up some feedback once I have it in hand.
On a side note you might want to make sure that you're using a unique password with their site as my email address and password where sent to me after creating a account suggesting that both are stored in plain text inside of their database.
Now you've done my head in (In a good way)
Was just about to take the plunge on a Portenzo, BUT NOW IVE SEEN THIS !
Don't know which one to get, only problem with this one is its plain, and the stand doesn't look very sturdy, and if its anything like the one I have now itll fall over with the slightest touch !
Wow, this looks really good AND THEY SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND!!
Now i have to decide between this and the Nillkin Smart Cover.
Cheers for the heads up!
I received the case yesterday and I'll say, for $25 bucks delivered, its an awesome case.
My only complaint is the way the cover flap snaps on. Its got two hooks on the outside that snap down over the back side cover. I'm trying to think of a way to engineer a better solution for closing the case. I think I'll remove the two hooks and make a latch in the center that holds it down. I'll post pics of the creation when I figure out the logistics and get it done.

Thanks for sharing this.
Whats wrong with the hooks? Does it not shut tightly? Also, will the case fold back flat onto itself for holding the tablet in portrait mode?

The hook are a little clunky because you have to pause for a moment after closing the case flap to make sure they both went on. I like it though; it keeps the flap closed but it doesn't really get in the way. I'm a little worried about the magnets though, as I've heard they can cause problems with the N7. Has anyone had any issues with them?
EDIT: Forgot to answer your other question. Yes, the flap will fold flat onto the back of the device.
bad case
Had the case only 2 weeks and the plastic clips that hold it closed broke. Contacted Devicewear and all they are doing is giving me the run around
O we have sent you emails but you have not responded. Funny i got that one though. when i responded back they just ignore you. This case is crap and the company has lost any future bis with me.
I have been reading mixed reviews about the case and it's fairly expensive over in Egypt so I cannot really decide if I should buy it or not, and unfortunately there's no option of trying it beforehand.
One recent user said that it actually created a smudge/scratched his screen and that kind of scares me because I just bought the phone for a crap load of money and I don't want to scratch it. I have been a M7 user for almost two years and it doesn't have a single scratch on it. The reason I am hesitant about the Dot View is because it's a flip case and even though I bought the HTC Double Dip Flip case for M7 when I first got it with excitement, I ended up ditching it for a normal back cover about a week later because it's a pain as a daily-driver.
My M8 came with a cover inside the box (which I am assuming is standard with any M8) and it actually does a decent job but I am not a fan of rubber-feel cases and I prefer plastic ones. The only problem with back covers is that when my M7 accidentally fell of the table last week, its screen got shattered and I was very upset about it. I am pretty sure if I had the Double Dip Flip cover on, that wouldn't have happened.
Any information, thoughts, and advice are much appreciated.
I would say its a personal preference. I got a dot view case just to check it out. It was sort of fun but the novelity wore off pretty fast. The big problem with that case is that it offers very little in the way of protection for the phone...and secondly, you can't use it with a glass screen protector (for the most part) because the case doesn't close fully with the glass installed. Also, the phone is a pain to get out of your pocket due to the rubber front, which by the way, will forever attract lint and get all mucked up...All in all it was more of a pain in the end.
I ended up choosing a nice iloome 9H tempered glass screen protector and a Spigen Slim Armor case and its a fantastic match of good looks and protection.
Here are a couple of links if it helps you...best of luck with your new M8. You're going to love it.

Thank you for your reply. That case looks rather impressive. I actually forgot to install a screen protector, thank you for reminding me, I'll be doing that tomorrow. I'll see if I can find that case locally, if not I'll see if I can order it online - I am not sure if they ship to Egypt, though, because most sellers on Amazon don't. Thanks again!
EDIT: I found one but I am not sure if it's the same as the one you linked: http://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/slim-ar...rotector-for-htc-one-m8-black-grey-7066001/i/
http://egypt.souq.com/eg-en/slim-ar...een-protector-for-htc-one-m8-black-7066006/i/
It looks rather similar, though, and the price is fair. I think I'll be placing an order.

I own one, and I have a love/hate relationship with it.
First thing first: The case is extremely attractive: everybody will ask you for it, and you can show it off to all your friends (mines are all in love with my phone just for the Dot View Case)
the fact that you can answer / hang the phone without opening the flip is very useful
The Bad: Typing with the case open is a real pain. There are occasions (when sending long text messages) that I found Myself removing the case, typing quickly the msg and putting the case back on.
the way the flip is designed makes it constantly trying to keeps its closed state. so if you are using the phone one handed you will find yourself constantly struggling with the case to keep it open
That's exactly why I hated the M7's double dip flip cover.. it just made typing with two hands a hassle, let alone with only one.

I've never been one for cases on my phones, especially a phone as attractive as the M8. Having said that however I did get a dot view case as a part of a bundle when I got the M8 and I do find myself using the case most of the time. The reason is the case, in addition to being protective, is also functional. The M8 without a case is so smooth and slick (in every sense of the word) that I'm sure that I would have dropped by now if I wasn't using the dot-view case.
