Where are the Ipad 12.9 (2017) NON-magnetic NON-smart covers, with a dedicated hidden pencil slot?

Taking a stab at this but likely not going to get a response. Already checked out the relevant 12.9 NEW case thread including Threads with the iPad Pro prefix (yes, I did manage to look at all results from those 20 pages.) Running an internet search using keywords, such as "no magnets," "smartcover alternative," etc. comes up empty. I've seen some nice folio style, but seems all are equipped with smartcover function.

Yes, I know I can simply disable the auto sleep/wake function under the settings tab, but I simply want something without any magnets.

If I happen to want the smartcover effect, I can simply buy some inexpensive magnetic tape down at the hardware store.

Current Wants:
(1) Non-magnetic, Non-smart cover
(2) Dedicated hidden pencil compartment, that may or may not allow the use of a pencil grip.
(3) Preferably in the style of a notepad folio.


Initially, I was looking at the following with a sleep/wake feature because I loved the hidden pencil compartments:
STM Dux, STM Atlas, Speck Stylefolio.

But have decided to possibly go in a different direction without the sleep/wake magnetic feature.

Booqpad (unfortunately don't have the 12.9 version)

Storyleather Hampton Pro: (Too pricey at $205.00 for the 12.9 inch; way out of my price range plus a pencil grip wouldn't work, they can probably customize the size of the pencil holder, but at over $200, that's a bit ridiculous.)
