I don't know if you've noticed, but there is a little lag in the phone waking up when you hit the power or home button to wake the phone. I downloaded an app that wakes up my screen as soon as it senses that I am opening the flap. It is a LOT faster than hitting the power or home button.
There are a bunch that do the same thing. I tried a couple of free ones, but they didn't work. This paid one has a free trial if you want to try it out. I picked this paid one because it had the best reviews. It says you might have trouble with a dark colored case, but it works great with my dark Titanium case..

I HATE the added bulk of any case and this one adds next to nothing in bulk to the phone. I also HATE how stick on screen protectors look after a few weeks of use. Scratches all over them, edges coming up, finger print/oil magnets and nothing feels as smooth as the naked glass on your fingers. So i decided to try out the Samsung flip cover. I LOVE IT! It pretects the screen when ever it is in my pocket or my work bag and adds next to no bulk to it like a regular case.
Only down side is that it doesn't offer much protection in case of a fall. I don't drop my phones so I'm not worried about that. My flip cover is only "closed" when it's in my pocket. Any other time when it's on my desk at work, on my night stand or anywhere else where I can see it i lay it down with the flip cover "flipped" so I can still see my notification light. Even on my OEM car dock it fits with the flap flipped back. Not only can you see your phone like this, but it also protects the back of the phone from scratches. Taking pictures/video with it is a little awkward at first with the flap hanging, but you get used to it pretty quick.
I also like that you can use the phone during a phone call with the cover closed so you don't get face grease all over your screen.
