What really matters is the dimensions of the T1 compared to the Kindle Touch which is what the cover was designed to fit.
Here are the equivalent dimensions in inches from the Amazon and Sony website specs to go with the mm dimensions that soloist66 posted.
Kindle Touch: 6.8" x 4.7" x 0.40"
T1: 6.875" x 4.375" x 0.375"
The height is nearly identical. The difference in width is not as large as you suggest. It's only about 0.16" narrower on either side of the T1. The covers are meant to be an extremely tight fit with the device that they are designed for. Therefore, they can accommodate a slightly smaller device and still be a good fit. Plus, one strap is elastic which helps to hold the ereader very securely.
I already had 2 other Oberon covers so I knew what to expect. I use a Kindle 2 cover with my 950 and a Nook Color cover with my Nook Color. My main concern was whether the straps would cover any buttons.
I think it's excellent news that the the Kindle Touch cover will also work with the 650!
Many people have been modifying the Oberon Journal and using Velcro to attach the 650 inside.
I will post pictures later this weekend.
