Why hasn't there been an iPhone 4 leather case that isn't a flip case or a simple pouch?

Don't get me wrong, this looks somewhat okay, but I don't. want. a. flip. case!

I love my AGF-branded iPhone 3GS case so much (even though it accidentally scratched the back of it). It fully protects the main parts of the phone all around and the iPhone survived many drops with it. Plus, it looks really nice. All the iPhone 4 leather cases I see are either just plain ugly or not protective enough. Already looked at AGF's site, they don't have any good leather cases at the moment.
 
Sena does have two that are not a flip or a pouch (leatherskin and walletslim)
 
Vaja, Beyza, Fortte, etc. to name a few makes cases that aren't flip cases. It's just a matter of looking carefully..

I looked at those brands' websites and didn't see anything that caught my eye. Sigh, guess it's still too early.
 
I've been eyeing the "tradition B" @ Noreve:

or maybe the open face or dual design at Fortte (not excited about the exposed upper corner on these though):

I used a Beyza mutiflip with my 3g...it had a removable flap like the dual design and I ended up leaving it off most of the time, but it was nice to have the option for extra protection if needed. Unfortunately it doesn't look like they're offering something similar for iPhone 4.
 
Guys, I think I found the exact case I was looking for!

This synthetic leather case looks absolutely great for me! Protection all around. I just hope that I won't run into an LED flash issue, that's the only thing holding me back right now.

Has anyone tried this yet? Can't seem to find any reviews or YouTube videos on this baby. I'm so tempted to buy it now. :p
