I bought this case for my 7yo son to use. I was looking for a sleeve that looked somewhat masculine and provided decent protection and this case gets the job done. I haven't had issues with the velcro not staying securely closed like another reviewer. Another reviewer commented that you can't charge the Kindle while it's in this case - that's not true. You can place the Kindle in the case so that the charging outlet faces toward the flap and plug it in. No, you cannot close the case while it's charging, but I'm willing to live with that. I do think that the case is a little overpriced, but when I bought it, this and the other Timbuk2 case (Timbuk2 Ballistic Envelope Sleeve Case for Kindle Fire HD 7" with 360 degree protection, Black PU/Black Perf/Black Perf (will only fit Kindle Fire HD 7")) were the only Fire HD sleeve choices and I preferred this one with the plush interior.
I was hesitant about buying this for an iPad mini because of some conflicting reviews on the size. But I want to say that it fits perfectly!! I have a clear, snap on, back case on it. Was snug the first time I put it in case but loosens up enough to be easy. It does offer some protection. I keep mine on the coffee table where my kitties like to push everything onto the floor. I'm not worried at all with this case. It's stiff on the outside, but very soft inside. I would strongly recommend this case if you're looking for something to keep it safe & protected indoors. Can't attest to drops on concrete or anything like that but I'm VERY HAPPY I ordered this case!!
I use this case along with a case cover for my Kindle Fire HD for added protection, and it works perfectly. In addition, it's reasonably stylish. Although I'm obviously not going to try it out, it seems to me to provide great protection from the elements and any sort of normal falls (such as from a desk or table) onto a hard floor. It's a bit of a snug fit since I've already got a leather case cover, but I feel much more secure taking the kindle out in public than I did before.
The only drawback for this is the price. I bought this as part of a promotion and received a good bit of a discount, but it may be a bit pricy without the discount.
I am happy I found this case. The interior is super soft, and I have confidence that the memory foam will cushion any falls or blows to my Kindle Fire HD. Happily it is less bulky than it seems in the photos. I didn't care for the colors or patterns when I was searching for a case, but since I've settled on the Black/White Polka Dots, I've come to like it quite a lot. It is easy to find amongst lots of other black cases, luggage, accessories, etc. Also the outer material seems very durable and not prone to stains or dirt. I don't think you can lose ordering this sleeve. I highly recommend it.
I purchased this sleeve case in the hopes that it would fit my iPad mini and it does.....perfectly. It's extremely well made and sturdy. The inside has a great lining that won't scratch or mar my screen in anyway. The Velcro closure is very tight. This probably won't be very protective if I happen to drop it from a high height, but it's definitely got more cushion that a neoprene sleeve. It's a nice thick padding so I feel my iPad is protected well. This is my first Timbuk2 product purchase but I will most certainly look to the brand for future purchases.

About Timbuk2
Timbuk2 was born in a San Francisco garage and raised on the backs of hard-working bike messengers. Since 1989, we’ve manufactured good-looking, tough-as-hell bags that you can truly make your own. Timbuk2 bags outlast jobs, relationships and sadly, even some pets. We work hard and play harder.
THis sleeve is awesome, it fits the ipad MINI just right. If you have a case on the mini it may be really tight though. I had the Speck case on mine & you have to really carefully squeeze it in it's so tight. But if you want the mini without a case & want to use it in all it's glory, this is a great carrier to have. It's a natural size for your hand, feels super light still & I take it everywhere with me now. The memory foam is really nice & the soft interior doesn't effect your device at all, in fact it may help keep the screen smudge free.
Not a perfect fit for the 2nd generation Nexus 7, but I like the way it fits firmly in it so that it doesn't shift around a lot. The Nexus 7 is a bit taller than the Kindle Fire which this case is made for so it is a bit snug getting it in, but the flap easily closes since there is extra room due to the Nexus 7 not being as wide. Every Timbuk2 bag and sleeve that I have bought have been of excellent quality and this one is no exception.
This is my second of these Timbuk2 cases. The first one was purchased for my Kindle Fire and when I got a new Kindle Fire HD for Christmas, I had to have the same case because I loved the original one so much. The pattern is nice. It has a plush interior that keeps my Kindle Fire HD safe and scratch free. This case is form-fitting so I can easily slip my Kindle into my purse or bag without it taking up too much space.
This isn't the perfect case, nor is it the worst case. For the price, it is a durable, well build travel case. If you're looking for a padded enclosure for your Kindle Fire HD 7" this is a good option. Padding is thick and the velcro is strong. Just don't open this case in a quiet room :P The velcro works so well and is so loud, I actually woke my wife up one night.
This is a really good sleeve for your electronic device. I use it for my Kindle Paperwhite & it fits perfectly inside. I dropped it once & nothing happened to my Paperwhite. Can find nothing to complain about with this sleeve. Love the color & all aspects about it. Would recommend it to anyone who wants protection with style.
