Default [Q] Flip Case for the Desire HD

Hi Guys,
New owner of a desire HD here, loving it so far

I'm looking for a flip case, same idea as the Noreve in this thread.

I'd like something not too bulky, and ideally a leather/faux-leather texture (again, like the noreve)

What can you guys reccomend, go for the noreve or would there be anything else to consider?

Cheers in advance

Just got one of these ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...EOIBSA:GB:1123 ... *Seems* genuine leather - but I believe even the new leather smell can be faked! Does what I want though. Only critcismj is that the top part across the front of the phone obscures the notification bar a little. But I hardly use this anyway so not a great problem for me.

Arrived very quickly as well.

Yeah, you can't really pull the notification bar down but I would rather have the speaker well clear. It's only 2 key presses to get there anyway and it's great for standing up at various angles to watch video, use on car dash etc. Hey for 6 quid this has to be a great bargain .

You should really try Piel Frama iMagnum case for your dhd. It is really high quality, and more protective than Noreve case. It's a little bulkier, but worth it.

Well I solved the problem with notification bar easily: mapped a swipe action for pulling that out on app drawer button (Launcher Pro).

I've got the same case but from another store It's good but yes, it hides part of the notification bar and't it's a little tricky to drag it down. Still, it's a good case.
