Where can I find an iPhone SE case similar to the Casecrown Lux?

Where can I purchase a solid-color Casecrown Lux case for my iPhone SE? Failing that, what is the most similar case that I can purchase?
I have an IPhone SE, which I have no intention of ever replacing until Apple starts making phones for people with regular sized hands again. This may be a while, so I want to keep the phone in a case in the meantime.
For quite some time I have had a casecrown case, I think it is similar to this one in Purple Amethyst (but in red). It is the perfect case, slim, correct texture, and has successfully protected the phone from many injuries over the past years. It has finally itself degraded though and needs replacing.
Unfortunately the company doesn’t make it anymore, and I can’t seem to find it (preferably in a solid color, and best if that color is red or black) for sale anywhere. Googling is hampered by the existence of many old links and reviews.
So, where can I get this case? Or, which case is the closest (in size, handfeel, and matte solid colorness) that still is purchasable for the SE?

I have a black leather iPhone SE sleeve that is no longer available from Apple, but here is a reseller of a case advertised to be identical (whatever that means). You pop your iPhone SE into it and it fits very snugly; it's tough to get it out again. The case is black, matte and solid (not much or any texture from the leather, surprisingly).

In an effort to use less plastic, I bought a Pela case - and really love it. They are biodegradable in a home compost pile (or so they say), and seem like a good company to do business with. And it looks like they make one for the SE!

Response by poster: Now the proud owner of the black, matte, 2 piece case that koroshiya suggested. The price point of the Pela is just too high for me; plus since the last one gave me several years of use I am not too worried about the plastic.
So far I'm happy with the Incase, although I still mourn my nice shiny red Casecrown. I also can't say if the Incase will be as robust, I'll need more time to take that data :-)

Response by poster: After a month the Incase seems fine. I still occasionally have to remind myself that my phone is not red, but it is in one piece so yay!
