LG G3 QuickCircle vs Galaxy S5 S-View vs One (M8) Dot View cases

Flagship smartphones cost north of $600 these days, if you buy them outright without subsidies, or they may come for less, but bind you with a two-year carrier contract, so they are not an investment to be taken likely. That's why many of them end up wrapped up in a case immediately after purchase, providing both a piece of mind for the owner, and a protection of their resale value. A lot of cases, however, are not just for simple chassis protection any more, as some of them add extra features, or simplify your interaction with the wrapped-up handset.

Nowhere is that more visible as with the official manufacturer cases that were outed for this season's Android flagships like the LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5, and the HTC One (M8). The LG QuickCircle case, Samsung's S-View Cover, and HTC's Dot View each offer a unique approach to caging your phone, while still providing quick access to a lot of common tasks and notifications you need on an everyday basis. That's why we decided to give you a brief overview of the functions that each stock wrapper brings to the table.
