Picked this one up off the bay.
How is that? Thought it looked good as it has a pocket in the front. Is there any padding inside? Add some additional pictures if possible

Does it hold the ipad mini tight enough without the Smart Cover that it won't fall out on its own?
Now that I stretched the leather by using the smart cover, the mini slips under garvity without the smart cover. However, I recall that the mini without the smart cover was fairly snug when the sleeve was brand new. I did not test slipping without the cover when new so it's hard to say. You may be ok if you don't stretch the leather.
Not trying to be an ass, but.. why?
I can see this sentiment for any kind of hardware accessories. But for a sleeve or a case?
I'm just curious. I promise i'm not trying to argue with you about your opinion.
I am fan of Radtech Sleeve since My iBook G4 day til my current MacBook Aluminum Unibody. But I feel like $30 for sleeve, it might be too much.
I ended up get Sleeve from nedrelow instead, it made from Wool texture like with reasonable price, $19.- (Minimum depends on color)

I'm extremely particular and anal when it comes to design and aesthetic.
I want my Apple products to match too. I would only dress my iPad mini with Apple's Smart Cover; having anything else on my iPad mini would cheapen it.

Smack a Burberry sleeve on it. Makes it expensive!

Or buy a pair of Burberry socks that are very stretchable.. Two sleeves!!
I am waiting for picasso labs to make their sleeve for the ipad mini. I emailed Alex already and he said that he is working on one and it should be available soon. I am pretty excited, just wish that there was more information available.

I am trying etsy.com for a sleeve to go with the iPad mini and a smart cover... I ordered this from etsy...

The person who makes these has like a million designs and their are about a million other people on etsy who make a million other versions... to me it seems you get something higher quality and more unique for the same price as what I am finding online.
I will only use the sleeve when I throw my iPad mini in a bag, otherwise it just going to be the smart cover.
I just went to Five Below and bought a small case with a handle to carry it around. They have lots of accessories for iPads. This case is light as a feather btw.
I had a sleeve that I used for the Kindle Keyboard (generation 2) that fits the ipad mini like a glove.....sans "Smart Cover"! It's got a nice felt interior and won't scratch the iPad. I don't know if they are still available or not. Here is a link to it on Amazon. I plan on using it when I travel till Incipio makes a Smart Feather back cover for the mini. The Smart Cover & Smart Feather back combo was perfect on the iPad 2.

Does the iPad hit the zipper at all inside the case? How are the pouches for cables and storage?

That sleeve would work out real well and I'd just slip the Mini into the carry case I bought. It doesn't look like they are in stock though at Amazon.
Size: It's a perfect fit so there is zero movement in the case. If I stand my i5 up in the front pocket the zipper cuts right through the numbers on the time.
F/F: I really like the fake swade look and feel. I can't speak to durability but I have never had issues with Casecrown so I imagine this will hold up as well. The padding is enough IMHO. If I push on the side when the mini is in there it has a good amount of "give". The tabs for the zipper are large, a bit large for me but not offensive. They are slightly curved which makes them easy to grasp.
Price: Picked it up off the Bay for $14 with free shipping.
I really dig the case and am so glad I ditched the smart cover. I hated that thing!
