I use this neoprene bag to carry my PaperWhite and Fire HD8:

The Paperwhite is naked, the Fire is in one of these cases:

I put the screen side of the PaperWhite up against the Fire inside the neoprene case, so the Fire serves as rigid protection for the PaperWhite screen nestled up against it.

This setup works well for me. I get to use the PaperWhite naked, so its small and light. The added bulk of the case on the Fire doesn't bother me, but a case on a PaperWhite does.

The neoprene case would be too large with only a PaperWhite inside. Usable, but you'd have extra room in there. But it fits the Fire perfectly. It's a tight, snug fit with both the Fire and PaperWhite in there. The fit does relax a little over time as the case stretches from use. But you have to be careful and support the zipper when you slowly close it around the corners of the Fire. If you man-handle the zipper around the corners without taking any care, you will eventually have zipper problems (ask me how I know this!)
