I am running the latest version of the viper 1 ROM.
It allows you to change the icons of the entire system.
Awesome case, perfect for those who want protection but don't want to go overboard on the bulkiness.
I placed an order for one of these immediately after receiving a Spigen Slim Armor last week...which is a beautifully made case in its own right, but just adds way too much bulk and weight to the phone. At first I wasn't that into the industrial look of the Unicorn Beetle, didn't think it matched the sleekness of the M8, but it grew on me, especially with how it highlights out the secondary camera.
Got the Supcase Unicorn Beetle today and I must say I'm very impressed by it. It looks really nice in person, especially with the faceted pinched in waist of the rear which visually is striking, and at the same time functionally helps to narrow the grip of the phone. I like how the sides are a matte TPU but still quite grippy, while the top edge is a glossy TPU to give it a bit of flash. It fits the M8 extremely well, quite a tight fit, but also feels way lighter and more form fitting than the Slim Armor. I have it combined with a tempered glass screen protector, and the end result is that there's not much of a lip left to put the phone screen down...it's just about flush.
My only gripe is just how dang sharp the openings are for the USB and headphone ports. I tend to use a pinky to help cradle the phone one handed, and my pinky lands right in those ports...and I can't help immediately feeling irritated by how sharp the edges are.

Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for HTC One 2014 (Frost Clear/Black)
Loving mine. Just got it today. I actually like it more than the hybrid bumper case from supcase.
cant wait for my UAG one. Then ill be all set for all my cases!
Added some of my pics incase anyone wanted to see
Thanks for the photos.
I am definitely going to have to pick one of these up.
I have had two significant drops from waist height onto concrete with this case on in the last few weeks. The case has very minor marks and the phone still looks brand new.
I am so happy with the decision to get this case.

Other than the yellowing I mentioned a couple of posts ago everything else is holding up well.

Honestly I don't "get" the love for this case. The black portions on the rear make the rear look weird and cover too much of the M8 design. As a better alternative but a similar case, I'd rather go for a PureGear:

Just want to update on this as it is the main reason I finally bought this case. Yes, it does fit nicely, but the holster clip sits right on top of the power button. Rather than having my belt hoster constantly either turn on my screen or turn off my phone, I opted to remove the plastic covering the power button. It pops out rather easily (which is why they give you extras when you buy the case I would imagine) and fixes the issue entirely. Super happy with my choice.

I actually rather like that the case will auto-turn-off and auto-turn-on my phone for me.

I found placing the phone power button down in the holster fixed this issue and was actually a better fit. It just clicks right in.

I bought the Frost Clear/Gray one back at the end of may and overall it is holding up really well. My only complaint is that the outer gray band is now somewhat of a blue color from slidding it and out of my jeans pockets..... but for the price its great. If the discoloring does ever reach the point that I cant deal with it I would probably purchase the same case over again.
sorry to revive this thread, but i wanted to mention after using a few different cases this one is by far the best in terms of fit and finish. everything lines up and snaps on, and actuates very nicely. also i was able to put a universal qi charging receiver under the back and it works perfectly. cheers!

6Received my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case ( http://amzn.com/B00IJ0R02Y) in the mail today after ordering it Mar 27th. I have to say that for $3... I'm impressed. The price is up now that they're being mass produced.
It looks, feels, and fits great. The cutouts are perfect, volume and power are easily pressed, and the IR blaster works great through the frosted power button. It fits like a glove. It was actually a little difficult getting the phone in but pays off big by feeling like it belongs on the phone.
I highly recommend this case for the m8.

Not at all. I bought this case along with the Spigen Slim Armor same as Tikerz above. I used the SUPCASE for several days before the Spigen arrived. Used the Spigen for half an hour then switched back and gave the Spigen to a friend. The SUPCASE just feels much nicer, looks great, and the IR blaster works.2UPDATE: Just thought I'd mention this: I dropped my phone from about waist level (unintentional) onto a tiled floor at work today and the case totally protected my phone. I almost didn't even hear the phone drop since it hit bumper first. I even took the case off to see if the body was dented...no damage to be found.
Also I've read some people observing that the camera cut out isn't totally perfectly centered, which was the case with mine when I first got my case. Over the course of about 1.5 weeks, the cutout is now pretty much perfectly centered. I guess it needed some time to settle and break in?
All in all, this case gets my thumbs up. Great case for a great price.2Gotta love how good this case looks for the price. Just got it in the mail today and put it on my phone with very minimal effort, and I have a Zagg InvisibleShield Glass over the screen.. The IR blaster works without problems and the port holes are accurate. The back is not clear, but frosted (It's fine by me. It looks good and the HTC logo stands out since there's no branding over that area. Very well-made case in my opinion.
Posted a picture for reference.2
You are wrong on how protective this case is sir. My phone dropped a good 4 foot drop from my hands with this case on. The phone faceplanted the hardwood floor and i was scared that my screen had shattered. When I flipped the phone over there were no signs of scuffs or scratches. The screen was perfectly in tact. I highly recommend this case to anybody.
