I've been using the SeidioOnline SPRING CLIP HOLSTER for quite a while, going back to when I had the same issue with my Mogul. It's not exactly a case, but works great. I've used them both with and without the INNOCASE. If you want the Innocase, they sell a combo. It's a lot easier to get out than using a case.

Just an FYI to anyone experiencing this problem. This seems like an issue which is only on "some" TP2's a I have had 3 and only one has had the issue of the magnetic case turning the LCD on. The other two have both been used in exactly the same case and have not had the issue. I am not sure what would cause this other than small variation from one phone to the other or possibly the magnets strength from phone to phone.

I have a TP2 with magnetic flap (Krusell small holster). I haven't had any problems with the screen coming on. I had this problem with an old phone -- the Motorola E815 -- but never since. In fact, I believe a magnet would have the effect of turning the phone off, not on.

EDIT: I just took the base of my router antenna, which has 2 strong magnets in it, and ran it all over my TP2. When the TP2 is off, no effect. When the TP2 is on, no effect until the magnet is at the very bottom of the phone. At that point, the light on the 4 buttons turns off. They turn on right away when I pull the magnets away.

Magnetic case = fail imho. I tried several over the years and found out that magnets and electronics are not always a good mix. I quit using cases altogether, but YMMV as far as a magnet case.
just my $.02 opinion
jigwashere, interesting test.
Gonna stick with my naked phones.
