Looking for a lightweight case. Needs to have multiple viewing angles for typing, watching and using it in my lap. I thought about Moft one but people complain about the magnets being weak. Suggestions?

Apple folio is the only case I ever use, thin and light. don't need drop protection.
 
Looking at:
ZUGU ($69) - lots of angled slots

Pitaka ($49) - origami fold

Torras ($49) - hinge seems appealing, but no rubber to protect against scratching surfaces / don't need the pencil holder always protruding out

ESR ($29) - two piecer, seems versatile to use in TPU like case by itself or magnetically attach to Smart Folio-esque thing

--

So far while they all look compelling, the ESR seems like a good bang for buck and versatility may be what I'm opting for.

Others who have considered some of these, why did you go with one over the other?

think I'm going to rule out the more basic ProCase/Spigen types that are clear back and smart magnet front attached but I've had those before including for mini 7 (that's on rotation with my ESR that has a metal stand that DOES have rubber to prevent scratching surfaces, open face TPU) to do something different this time, but that's always a good fall back of sorts.
