I'm about to get a 1st. generation iPhone SE (2016) and want a "wallet" type case for it. Any recommendations for something that ticks off these boxes?:

1) good, lasting quality
2) easy to open (but not too easy -opening up it it falls on the ground etc.)
3) looks good

I haven't had an iPhone before, but wonder if it works in the same way as a "wallet" type case for an iPad, where a magnet (a) keeps the case closed and (b) it locks/unlocks automatically whenever the front flap is opened. Does it work this way?
I assume I'll have to struggle a bit to find a 1st. generation case these days, but regardless I'd like to hear which case would tick off most of my requirements.
 
Check Sinjimoru Sinji Pouch series. You stick them at the back of an iPhone or over a case, they`re not magnetic.

Interesting and definitely different!
But I personally find a wallet case more protective and practical.
