If anyone here has bought an unofficial case for their Forma, I'd love to hear your verdict!

I purchased a third-party case from Amazon for my wife's Forma and it serves its purpose well enough.
I actually got the MOSISO case that @sekazi linked to:

Looking at 3rd party cases like the MOSISO I am not sure how well I would like it. The two major differences I see in the photos are a much shinier PU leather and the edge with the buttons is not flush like the Official case.

In my wife's case, we got the rose gold color case, so the "shinier PU leather" wasn't too much of a factor, but I get the feeling I would like a more matte like appearance on mine.

I would assume it has the same magnets as the official case so the front can attach to the back and when folded it will stay attached to the back too.

The three magnets in part of the cover that rests on the front when the device is closed works for sleep/wake purposes fine, and they are plenty strong for us, but it hasn't been tossed into a bag with other items yet. It should be noted that there doesn't seem to be any magnets in the back of the case to hold the cover flap out of the way like it was mentioned the official one might, just the ones in the front flap to hold it closed or in origami mode.
No verdict from me on durability since we've only had it a month, but overall, a solid 4 out of 5 for the case/cover. Maybe even a 4.5 out of 5 since I didn't originally know that the official case had the magnets on the back and is apparently a "missing feature" on mine. Plus, it's significantly cheaper than the official one.
