Owning a pricey-looking smartphone like the HTC One M9, users are normally worried of using it in the outdoors for fear or accidentally dropping the handset or in the case of rain or any other watery situation, getting it wet and soaked in water.
The Taiwanese smartphone maker recognizes these major concerns of the users of its current flagship smartphone that is why it has come up with the remarkable HTC Active Pro Case, which would make the HTC One M9 a sturdy handset to withstand the risk that outside elements may pose onto it.
The good thing about the case is that its design looks very impressive so much so that when the HTC One M9 uses it, it seems like the case is just part of its overall body. It is also lightweight and hardly offers any bulk to the HTC One M9 package, thus making the handset really look great, opines ZDNet.
Comes with a price
As quality normally comes with a price, the HTC Active Pro Case is retailed for $79.99 which is relatively fair enough because it provides the HTC One M9 a shock and water resistance feature as much as it is slim and very attractive too.
By using the HTC Pro Active Case, users actually get an IP8X waterproof rating and an IP6X dust protection. It also has a shock proof rating which shall enable the HTC One M9 with the HTC Pro Active Case on it to survive even a two-meter drop.
What’s more, the HTC Pro Active Case also has a screen protector that is already integrated to the front of the case as well. It’s a glossy plastic protector that does not affect the touch sensitivity of the smartphone nor its performance.
In terms of color description, the HTC Pro Active Case comes with yellow highlighted trim with dark gray plastic on the remaining portions. Another good thing going for the case is that it is too easy to install the HTC One M9 on it and would not require a technical person to do it for the average users, and thus would no longer entail additional cost.
It also features an embedded O-ring in the front piece with other waterproof membranes thus sealing off pieces around the smartphone’s speakers, cameras, mircrophones, and physical buttons.
Addressing customer concerns
The Taiwanese smartphone maker has been very responsive to customer concerns or issues when it comes to its latest flagship smartphone.
When it was launched in March and subsequently made it to the retail markets in April, the HTC One M9 came out to mostly positive and favorable reviews from users.
But the current flagship smartphone of the Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC has two major weak points – its rather short battery life and its less than impressive camera.
HTC did try to fix its camera with a software update but given that it is more of a hardware issue, the patch hardly made any difference in as far as improving the smartphone’s camera is concerned.
