However the Tech 21 has D3O non Newtonian impactology drop protection in the case....that looks almost identical to the case I am currently using:
Proporta Ted Baker iPhone 6 Folio Case
The only difference (and better IMHO) is that the Proporta Ted Baker case has a magnetic flap so that the flap actually stays shut when you are not using the phone. The Proporta also looks slimmer than the Tech21 as well.

There is no magnet, so if you aren't holding it, it will indeed 'flap about'. However, I generally find it pretty comfortable to hold it when folded back. I actually prefer the feel of the Tech21 Classic Shell Wallet with its cover folded back to the Tech21 Classic Shell with Cover with its cover folded back. The clasp on the wallet version provides a nice resting place for your hand, while on the shell with cover version, you just have the edge of the folio cover to hold, and it can feel less than comfortable if you are holding it for a longer period. Not terrible, but the feel of the wallet case folded back is better.

Right hand? Hmm. I hold my phone in my left hand generally. What happens with the clasp is that the smooth curved outer edge of the plastic clasp rests comfortably against my middle and ring finger when I hold it in my left hand. When I hold it in my right hand, the plastic clasp rests against the fleshy part of my hand below the thumb. It doesn't cut into my palm at all, but I find it somewhat less comfortable than holding it in my left hand. Of course hand size matters here in terms of where on your hand the case will contact you. For the record, I have medium size ladies handsBit in bold: ..yea, I am also considering this version as well (with the clasp) however there is one thing I don't get!
I hold my phones in the right hand - if using the Tech 21 wallet case with the clasp, then surely, when the flap part is folded back (when you are using the phone) against the back of the phone, the clasp part is going to be digging into your palm as you hold the phone - no?

- the Tech 21 is indeed NOT very slim!
Well, I received my Tech 21 with cover case for my iPhone 6 and to be honest, its a case which is not for me.
The box lingo states 'a slim fitting case', however, I actually found that the case makes the phone look HUGE - almost the size of the iPhone 6+. Holding the case in my right hand, I could barely reach over to the far left of the screen with my thumb.
I don't like the way that the cover (the flap) just rests on the screen with no magnet but I do like the material used (its like a soft velvety material). I also don't like that when you fold the cover back on itself (i.e. when you use the phone one handed), the whole case feels massive because of the large gap between the flap and the back of the case.
I put this case against my current case (the Proporta Ted Baker case linked above), and the Ted Baker case would actually fit INSIDE the Tech 21
The overbearing factor which has made me stay with my Ted Baker case is the magnet on the flap which keeps the flap closed even when the case is held upside down and also when you fold the flap back against the back of the case - it again, sticks to the back of the case which makes the whole case feel slim (which it actually is).
