What are you guys thinking for a SD Card for this bugger...?
Depends on what is important for you. If you want to use the 'adoptable' storage feature to utilize SD card as internal storage you would need a more expensive (faster) UHS1-U3 SD card, which has faster read/write speeds. If you just need a place for pics and music, then the nicely priced UHS1-U1 cards are more than adequate.
What do you folks think of the HTC Ice View Cover? I usually use a bumper case on my phones and I don't recall ever spending more than $25.00 on a case, but the Ice View Cover is intriguing.

I personally hate those 'flip' cases.

I may go naked for a bit, but my go to case is the Incipio. Hands down the best case I've ever used.

Nice... Worth noting that that will not work for 'internal' storage. Only goof for storing pics/vids/etc... Though I don't really see the need for more expandable storage, so I think its a moot point
Why don't you think it would work as adoptable (internal) storage? It's a high-speed card (UHS-I, 60MB/s) although I'll grant you a faster card such as the SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC (UHS-I, 80MB/s) would be better. However, as you say it's a moot point for must of us who will be using microSD cards for external storage.

For use as internal (adoptable) storage it *HAS* to be UHS1-U3, the U1's are not a fast enough. Currently there are 2 classes of UHS cards.
Tried on a newly purchased card (deal on phandroid) and the phone yells at you and tells you it won't work. This was an HTC running 6.0.1

OK, thanks for the info. It looks as if the SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB UHS-I/U3 Micro SDXC Memory Card ($46.99 on Amazon) would meet that requirement for use as internal (adoptable) storage.
Yes, as long as it says U3 it will work. U1 will not, found out after I bought one (for that purpose) and tried to format as internal...

I personally hate those 'flip' cases.
Normally I would agree with @NightAngel79; however, after watching the Android Authority video review of the HTC 10 Ice View Case I pre-ordered one. The Ice View Case seems to offer a lot of functionality, unlike other flip cases I've seen. I'll post my personal opinion if the phone and case ever arrive. I don't know anything about product promotion, but it seems foolish to create a lot of hype so far in advance of product availability.

I like the idea of it, but I HATE black accessories. That black case would make it way too hard to find my phone in a purse or bag. If the ice view case ever comes in some other colors, I'm in.

Did you get it yet? Is the screen changeable? I am not a fan of those pink and green colors.
