I got one from fabrixcases for my iPad 2, now that I have changed to the mini, I can actually send it back to get it altered to the Mini's size!

that's too big.
I have the larger one for my iPad. Bought it when I got the original iPad.
Dave said he will be making a iPad mini specific pouch soon.
The small one is a perfect fit for a naked mini. I ordered one and the fit is like its made for it. I wish it was bigger so I could put my mini with the Smart Cover and a back cover, but only a naked mini will fit.
Care to post a pic? How's the opening for the charger at the bottom? Sounds great if it's a perfect fit.
I'm guessing you meant the medium size one as the small is sized for an iPhone. Love to hear it's a good fit for the naked mini as that's how I prefer to use it--ordered one a couple of days ago and looking forward to using it.
Check out this iPad mini / 7" tab tote bag I ordered from eBags.com!

I'm so happy I found this! It was just what I was looking for! It's currently on sale for $17.50.

Nice find! From the dimensions listed, it looks like a perfect fit for the iPad Mini in a case or folio.
Nice sleeve and functions as a stand, sweet! I always loved the look of handgraft products but find them a tad too expensive.
I got this A case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009XCCC52/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
Did not like it at first, but the fit is excellent and its growing on me. The sleep function works perfectly.

Just received this leather sleeve (medium size) in black and could not be happier. Very sturdy--leather is thicker than I expected, and fits my naked mini perfectly. It's not too tight but snug enough to keep the mini in place even if held upside down. Quality overall is very good.
And before someone asks, I don't own a smart cover (and don't plan to) so I'm sorry but I can't test to see if it fits with the cover on.
If anyone is interested in pics let me know and I'll try to get some up tomorrow.
Of all the sleeves I've tried, nothing is as nice as Sena Ultraslim.
I have matching ones for my smartphones & iPads.

On the topic of sleeves etc, I bought one of these amazing handcrafted leather briefcases, some time ago. It's a masterpiece of craftsmanship & quality. It's literally flown all over the world with me.

Same here, I just got my iPad mini and the sleeve in this morning, great timing. The iPad mini is a brilliant thing, I think I'm going to use it a lot more than I've used my iPad2 the last year. And the sleeve is awesome too
I just received my Kajav Berlin case and am really impressed. The leather is super soft and it has magnets in for holding the case closed and activating the auto-sleep/wake sensors. The front panel folds back similar to how the first Apple case for the iPad original did to give it a nice resting angle for typing and a standing up position for watching movies etc. The leather is going to take a little bit of working to ensure the iPad mini stands up for movie viewing safely as it currently wants to fall backwards a little too easily but that's just because the leather is so new I think and it'll soon sort itself out.
Sorry for the really poor exposure, I quickly shot the photos on my iPhone and didn't notice the massive exposure overcompensation at the time. If anyone wants more/different/better photos then just give me a shout.

I found the following slip case and really like it. I'm currently using an iPad 3 with a black leather SmartCover and DodoCase Bookback. I really like the combo, but I'm wanting to move to the iPad Mini once it goes Retina. Love the contrast baseball stitching.

The only thing I asked for that's different (since these are handmade) was to have a top edge like the following rather than a notched one like in the first link:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/109983706/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-free
I'm going to grab one of these and hang on to it for when I move to the Mini. I'm a med student and the appeal of having an iPad small enough to fit in my white coat pocket is my motivation.
PS - the person who runs the Etsy store doesn't have the iPad Mini size in right now, but says to expect them very soon. (Thus the reason I linked to the Galaxy versions.)
