I ordered the Slim Sleeve for both the Touch and Fire and received them today. They aren't available on Amazon until 11/15 (at least the Fire one), but I ordered straight from Timbuk2 since I had a 20% code from a previous recycle.

The sleeves have the usual Timbuk2 quality and design. The Kindle/Kindle Touch version is smaller (as expected), but a Kindle Keyboard can almost fit (won't close). The Fire sleeve fits the Kindle Keyboard almost perfectly even though it's not listed as a compatible device. As with most Timbuk2 cases, it has velcro closure, but it's small and IMO perfect because it's big enough to keep the sleeve close, but not too big where you'd worry about scratching the device when sliding it in/out.

Here are some pics, but obviously i'm still waiting on my Touch & Fire, so I used my Kindle Keyboard as reference. I really like the simplicity and style of this sleeve and can't wait to get my Touch & Fire to really put them to use!
