HTC’s new flagship is handsomely designed. Protect it from bumps and scratches.

Like any responsible phone owner, you’re probably considering a case for your HTC 10. It’s a brand new phone and you want to keep it as pristine as possible for as long as possible.

With a new phone, it can be hard to find a good case because not everyone is jumping onboard the new phone train, so reviews are limited. For the most part, we’re seeing TPU cases galore, but there are a few rubber and wallet cases and there’ll likely be many more to come upon the phone’s release.

We’ve rounded up the best cases (so far) for your gorgeous new HTC 10 that’ll hopefully keep it looking like new until the HTC 11 comes out!

  • HTC Ice View
  • Cimo Premium Slim Fit
  • Tauri Premium Ultra Slim
  • Vinve Folio
  • Love Ying Crystal Clear Ultra

HTC Ice View

We’ll start with the coolest case you can buy for your HTC 10, which is HTC’s own Ice View. With the One M9, HTC had the Dot View to give us a peek at what’s happening on the phone. Ice View adds more detail to match the 10’s cleaned-up design.

The flip cover allows you to interact with your phone in so many ways that some people might not even need to lift it. You can take photos, read texts, control volume and music, turn on the flashlight, and tons more. Plus, the Ice View supports third party notifications like Instagram, Google+, and more.

If you struggle with covering up such a pretty phone but still want it protected, you might as well cover it up with a case that’s super cool and offer a ton of functionality on top of that protection.

Cimo Premium Slim Fit

A great standard for anyone who want a simple, minimal case that offers solid protection without breaking the bank, Cimo does it again. It’s got a tactile, satisfying grippy feeling and leaves all the essential ports and buttons open.

The beveled front edge leaves you worry free when leaving your HTC 10 facedown and the slim design means no unnecessary bulk in your pocket. If you’re looking for a case just because you know it’s the right thing to do, then Cimo is a solid place to start.

Tauri Premium Ultra Slim

Tauri is all about the TPU case and they do it quite well. This is yet another offer that won’t add much bulk to your HTC 10, but will help it feel solid and protected. A soft shell like this is shock absorbent and won’t slip out of your hands. Tauri offers the Ultra Slim in a few different colors, so you can grab one to match your style, while remaining minimal.

The Premium Ultra Slim is quite flexible, so putting it on and taking it off your HTC 10 will be easy peasy, but try not to take it off too much because it could be come a little loose due to stretching. Also consider that, when buying the lighter gray case, you may notice a little bit of yellowing over time, since that’s what happens to TPU when it absorbs sunlight.

Vinve Folio

Looking for a folio case that doubles as a stand for your HTC 10? Check out Vinve’s Folio case made of PU leather. It’s simple, but offers a cover for your screen without having to fiddle with a finicky screen protector (which don’t fit many new phones due to their curved screens).

The flip cover folds back on the spine to become a handy stand for hands-free video-watching, reading, or video-calling. The case is cut well, so that all the important buttons and ports are available without feeling like you’re leaving your phone open to damage. The leather texture also feels great and won’t slip.

Love Ying Crystal Clear Ultra

Another great TPU cover that offers minimal bulk with cushioned shock absorbency is the Love Ying Crystal Clear. Like Tauri, Love Ying offers as view different colors to match your style; theirs are a little more vibrant and playful.

The cover is raised both on the front and the back, so you’re not putting your HTC 10 down right on its screen or right on the camera lens, which is a nice feature if you happen to drop it flat. It’s dust and scratch resistant and fits like a glove.

As with other TPU cases, just be aware that your case may yellow over time thanks to the Sun. Also be careful putting it on your HTC 10 and taking it off too much, since it might stretch and stop fitting so well. Other than that, it’s a great way to protect your phone without adding a ton of bulk or breaking the bank.
