Hey everyone,
I picked up a really nice felt sleeve on ebay for the iPad mini and thought I would do a quick review. I actually got the idea from some other users in another thread...so props to them.
I really wanted to use the mini naked but still wanted some protection. Picked up the sleeve on ebay here:

Overall, I am really impressed with the sleeve (specially for the price). Build quality is great and it has a nice feel to it. The hand burned apple logo isn't perfect, but is pretty close.
The mini fits inside perfectly. It does have a little room to spare so it slides in and out without any problems (i.e. it is not a super tight fit). It will not come sliding out though if you are carrying it in a bag or something. I also did try to see if the mini would fit with a Smart Cover on. It does...but it is a little snug. The Smart Cover material against the felt is actually what makes it a little difficult to get in and out due to friction, but it definitely does fit all the way if you want to carry it like that (image_7 of me holding the case has the mini inside with smart cover on, showing that it goes in all the way even with the cover).
Took it to work today and a lot of my co-workers were impressed. Product is hand made and ships from the UK. The order was fully processed on Monday 11/21 and shipped out on the 22nd through Royal Airmail to California. I received it on 12/3. Not too terrible considering there was a holiday in between.
