S-View Cover Alternatives - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Anyone found any S-View cover alternatives with the sleep/wake function working and all the rest?
I bought a cheap cover the other day and just received it,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161134846033?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Notice it says nothing in the description whether it supports on/off or not
but in of the pictures it states that you can view time/weather etc without opening the cover, crafty
Reading what it says in the picture i assumed it was refering to the s-view features, and maybe thought it was due to the ROM i was on at the time,
Ended up flashing multiple ROMS trying to sort it out xD but then read a question that was answered at the bottom of the ebay page which saddened me
Q: hey there, interested in this item. Does it supports sleep & wake up functions?? Thanks
A: Hi, Thank you for interest in item and Sorry it DON'T support sleep wake function. Regards
I thought it would be to good to be true,
The case looks well made for a cheap fake, and it also came in a samsung box much like the origional s-view cover
but none of the s-view funtions work with it at all and is pretty pointless to be honest,
Cant really complain for £5.50 free postage

yeah i had gotten something like this, but it didnt come in a Samsung case. After like 2 weeks, i just went ahead and got the original case. It seems worth the price tag because it is a LOT closer to real leather, and it does have good quality stitching. Definitely feels much better in your hand too, and has the sleep function you are looking for.
I wish there was more functionality with the s-view though.

I got suckered too... Couldn't return it cuse it was in China... But the sview app by hatroid does a pretty good job... It turns on and off the screen and gives you time... I wished I would have bought the original case but no store had it the first day the phone came out

NOT that I would suggest anyone to do this, and I definitely did NOT just do this about 9 hours ago. How dare you even think such a thing of me!! I'm just saying what some one COULD do, but I did NOT!! This is something that someone might do if they already had a knock-off S-View case that they were unhappy with. Go to their local Best Buy and purchase the official Samsung S-View case. Go out to their car and remove the real Samsung S-View case, put the knock-off case in the Samsung packaging from Best Buy, put the S-View package (with knock-off case inside) and the Best Buy receipt in to the Best Buy bag. Walk right back in to Best Buy and go straight to the customer service / return area. When it's their turn step up to the counter, tell them that the case didn't fit right, they don't like it, and they want a refund. The cashier will scan their receipt, check their license, give them their money back, and toss the case you they returned in to the "Defective" bin. They walk out with their money in their wallet, but the have the official Samsung S-View case in their car that they only paid a fraction of the price for! I would imagine that the employee doing the return wouldn't even look to see what's inside the package, but even if he/she did then as long as the knock-off even slightly resembles some kind of a phone case then they'll just give the customer their money back without question. If for some 1 in 1,000 chance they did question the authenticity of the case, then the customer doesn't know if it's authentic or not as they've never seen one before, but that's what they just bought from there as their receipt shows they just purchased it from them less than 5 minutes ago. If it is a fake, then it must have been someone else who swapped them because the customer wouldn't know the difference if both were sitting right in front of them! Now I am NOT suggesting that anyone do this or even consider doing it! It would be very dishonest to do such a thing! I'm simply stating what I imagine some unethical people do on a daily basis. Like at 3 o'clock today (for example), I bet there was some unethical guy doing this in Georgia! Some people, geez!!!
Some local malls even have cell phone accessory stands in them which sell nothing but generic accessories. If that local mall happened to be just a mile or two from the Best Buy, then that would make a scheme like this just that much more convenient. I bet that guy/girl could even be typing on his/her GN3 as we're reading this, and absolutely LOVING their official Samsung S-View case!! Just an FYI, for reading and comical purposes only, of course.

I've searched everywhere for something as legit as Samsung's with all the features, but to no avail.
Your best bet is to either get it from T-Mobile's website with the 25% discount code 25HOLIDEAL (it comes to $44.99 plus tax). OR, if you want it right away and know someone who also has the Note 3, then go to your local BestBuy and take advantage of the Buy One Get One 50% off on accessories. Comes out to the same price ($45 each).
I did this with my girlfriend, I got the black and she got the white.

I wish I could find a case with S-view features. Had the Samsung S-view cover but returned it feeling it offered no real life protection.
I think Seidio is trying make one but the website says it's under development.http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-ledger-flip-view-dark-gray-p/csf2ssgt3k-dg.htm If this works it could be great. So far I can't find the "perfect" case.
