This case is very well made, however, makes it the HTC One twice as thick (with the lid open) so that you can no longer operate correctly with one hand there. Furthermore, it is no longer good in the hand as the entire back is flat and not bent is (what actually constitutes and handy HTC One yes). Real shame because otherwise the shell makes a really good impression of the processing and stability. I'll return it and hope that I find a cover that meets all criteria.
