Try this guy on eBay, the case is similar to the Apple case, but made out of portfolio-type leather with white stitching, very Coach like.

The Incase Leather Convertible is the best. It has a nice fit to it and has three notches for elevation for the iPad for either typing or viewing.

This one is the closest I have seen to the Apple style:

The incase Book Jacket is NOT LEATHER. While it doesn't explicitly state that on their own website, it does state the following on Apple's site:
# Durable faux-leather construction with secure elastic band closure
Is this the right name? This is someone in China with 14 feedbacks, nothing for sale, and the last feedback was months ago.
PDair is a case manufacturer, not a seller.

This is my favorite iPad case, by far.

This one is a direct rip of Apple's case, but in leather. Looks decent but pictures can be deceiving of course. And they had to stamp that crappy name on it...

From this pictures it doesn't look like there is any flap holding the iPad in place so it can just slide right out in the standing position.
If you'll consider non-leather, the MacAlly Bookstand has been getting great reviews and has the same functionality as the official case.

hmm. that could definitely be a problem, especially with leather which will loosen over time. think I'll steer clear of this one. they seem to have specifically omitted any angle that might show what's holding it in place.

I disagree. I could be wrong, but if you look closely at the white stitching at the top, you can see that it curves and disappears as if it's following the same type of "tab" that tucks in behind the iPad to hold it in place.
I like my Marware Eco-Flip a lot. They are a bit difficult to find, but there are some sellers on Amazon Marketplace that have them in stock.

I ordered this case yesterday. Will post an opinion once i get it.
I love the look of this! I will be waiting for your review. Please post when you can, and let us know if there is a flap that tucks under the iPad, in the same manner as the Apple case.
Thanks!
