anyone know of a leather case that can hold the hd2 at an angle on a flat surface.

Anyone here tried the PDAIR Book Case on their TMo HD2?
If so, your review?
How well does it fit?
Quality? Workmanship?
Protective?
Does it hold the phone securely, even when the cover flap is not fastened?
How much bulk does it add?
Also, when you hold your phone to the ear on a call, is the book screen cover flap uncomfortable? (Not sure which would be more comfortable (or less uncomfortable) in that regard--book or flip (landscape or portrait)? I like the looks of the book one.
I'm looking for a case with the following properties but can't see to find one:
1.) Folio style - i.e. Something like the Blurex or Incipio Leather case. MUST be lightweight enough and minimize bulk so that it can still fit in a pants front pocket.
2.) Glass on front is totally unobscured. Blurex or Incipio has this as well.
3.) An elastic band attached not to the cover half, but rather to the half to which the tablet is secured. This way, the elastic band can be used to keep the cover secured when not in use, and can ALSO be used to keep the cover folded back when in use. The Blurex and Incipio can't do the latter because the elastic band is attached to the cover itself. When closed, it wraps around the back to keep it secure, but can't be used to secure the cover when open because it would cover the screen.
4.) Auto wake/sleep magnet.
5.) Some kind of stand mechanism would be nice, but is not essential.
Does anything out there fit the bill?
How about the MoKo case? [Amazon]

Looks just like the Blurex case. Nice, but the elastic band is on the wrong side. If you want to use it to keep the cover open you either cover part of the screen or loop it awkwardly around the clasp to avoid covering the screen.
I have a marware kindle touch case that has the elastic band attached to the other side (the same side that holds the device). You wrap it over the front to keep it closed and wrap it over the back to keep it open. Very simple. Frustrating that I can't find a nexus 7 case with the same mechanism.
I just got my Galaxy Note II and I did not like the Samsung OEM Flip Case it came with. I feel like it only protects the screen if the phone ever drops, and if it happens to hit any of the four corners in a drop, the phone would be done for. I've been looking into wallet cases, but most of them are magnetic and seem to interfere with the S-Pen. Does anyone know of a good flip case that snaps onto the device itself, similar to this one?

I would advise you look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968655
Magnetic catch on flip cases
I recently bought a Zenus case which I like a lot. The only thing I am not keen on is the press stud on the front so that whenever you close it you are pressing a bit on the glass. The Zenus case I got a long time ago for my original Galaxy Tab has a magnetic closure and this is really good. However, I am confused about whether magnetic catches badly affect the S-pen usage. Some reviews mark down cases because a magnetic closure interferes with the S-pen. Is this true of all cases with magnetic closures? Are there any flip cases with magnetic closures that do not affect S-pen use?

i just ordered one of those. it has a full tpu case on the phone plus a multipurpose leather flap attached to it that allows it to act as either a vertical or horizontal stand. it also fixes the thing i hate the most about flip covers - camera use. with most flip covers, the flap just feels flimsy, dangles everywhere and gets annoying. with this one, you can fold the flap back, and fold down a portion of the leather to stop it from obstructing the camera. quite useful.
the black and brown flap versions have a dark brown-ish semitransparent tpu case. the other colours all have a transparent tpu case.
it also has a magnetic lock on it as well.
iPulse Journal Series Leather Wallet Case for the Galaxy Note 8
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074Z5TMY9
This is the first wallet-type case I've used with the Note 8 and it seems have everything I would want in a leather wallet case. It's smooth good quality leather, no jagged edges, multiple inner pockets, and straight matching black stitches.
Most importantly, it has a strong magnetic clasp, which is one issue I have with the wallet cases Samsung usually offers. While leather wallet cases aren't designed for maximum drop protection, having a strong magnetic clasp will prevent the phone itself from hitting the pavement. There's a gratifying snap when you close the cover and the flap won't separate unless you pull it with force.
A plus in my book is that the phone is kept in place with a soft TPU case attached to the leather. Some manufacturers like Samsung choose to use a polycarbonate case-like portion to hold the phone in place but the bottom and top of the phone is usually exposed to the elements. I had no issues inserting and removing the Note 8 from the TPU portion and it holds the phone securely. Phone port cutouts are where they are supposed to be, but be advised that the TPU does not cover the power, Bixbie, or volume rocker, which means the already shallow buttons are more difficult to press.
The brand logo is out of the way and is on the bottom left of the backside. It has a clean design on the front with no lettering. One thing I would have liked to see is an earpiece opening on the front of the leather cover so I could talk on the phone with the cover closed, but flipping the cover behind the phone is not too much of a burden. This choice also gives the front cover a cleaner look, like a leather journal would have.
I would recommend this case if you're looking for a simple and clean-looking genuine leather wallet case for your Note 8.
Mine need to push the magnetic piece where it connected to your phone away from the phone, so it wont affect S-PEN
how about yours

Is the magnetism strong enough to keep the case closed?
I'm looking for a belt clip that will hold the note 8 in a UAG plasma Case. Not a leather holster pouch but something like the OtterBox or the Encase Case has. Was acctually wondering if one of the Encase clips might be able to fit a UAG. Anyone have a solution or Alternative Case clip that fits?
Incase anyone wants to know the Platinum Case sold by Bestbuy comes with a Vertical Clip that fits the UAG Plasma PERFECTLY. It will work Screen in or Screen out with no play at all.
Sidenote:
the UAG Plasma Case is known for pushing on Glass Screen Protectors. I used a Dremel with a Cone sanding attachment to take down the rubber on the Front Corners. It's the cleanest way I've seen it done. It doesn't look like it was modified at all.
Now I have my UAG case that plays nice with my ZAGG Cured Elite and a Clip. Loving it. Putting the OtterBox Defender Pro away for a while.
Here's photos.
