Looking for fold case recommendations (lemm.ee)

I can't quite seem to find a case I'm happy with. I usually get a plain clear all TPU case that is both pretty thin but good for drops. I don't care if it yellows and I don't really like the tough/OtterBox style bulky cases. I have the google case and my problems with it are the lack of camera bar coverage, I've already dinged mine, and how hard/not drop friendly the front half is. The back seems a little too soft, one of the corners is slightly torn from the previously mentioned drop, but I'd rather that than what the material of the front is. I picked up one of these from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/314678008376 but it doesn't close all the way, doesn't fit great in some spots and is also a little too hard, otherwise it would be great. At this point I'm leaning toward just using the google case and trying to find a skin to cover the camera. I'm also willing to pay a bit more if it hits everything I want. Anyone have good suggestions?

Magnetic is really important for me, how is that case with drops? I imagine it's pretty stiff/hard?

Very stiff and no real padding. So all the force is being transferred I'd presume. I'm thinking this chonky phone is fairly tough for that kinda stuff... I hope anyways
