Thanks for the photos! Much appreciated!!

It looks like it's roughly 8.5" wide, 7/8" (just shy of 1 inch) tall/thick like a tube. A shot or two of it in the Mini 10 would be most helpful to get a feel for how it's situated and angled.

Anguish - comparing my 9 to the 10 mockup (with 3 cell) I have it appears to be nearly identical in size other than being almost exactly 1 inch wider. It's just as tall/thick and the length from nose to hinge is maybe 1/8" longer. Does this sound right to you?

Trying to accomodate that shape in a sleeve is going to be interesting. There really is no way to put it in battery first like normal without having a lot of excess material. My plan, I think, is going to be making an allowance for it where I place the front edge so that the battery is "outside" the sleeve and the flap wraps around the battery.

Height is pretty close to the same. It's definitely a little longer and little wider though. I've got it a hair over 10 1/4" wide, and the depth is a hair over 7 1/4". Height is also right around 1 1/4".

I don't have my Mini 9 with me to compare to at the moment, as a buddy of mine is borrowing it.

Here you go. Again not very good pictures but I hope these would help.

I have one in the hands of a tester as we speak. I'm hoping for a second round of detailed photos showing some described fitment issues so I can nail down the measurements. It seems that my mockup is a touch on the larger side, and then I cut it a touch generous before sending it out just to be "safe".

Right now this will be a 3 cell only sleeve. I do have a master plan for the 6 cell but need a tester for it as well.

News? Yes!

I have a UPS tracking number for a slightly used 10v that I will hopefully have in my hands early next week!

I should be doing 10/10v sleeves from the store within the next 7-10 days!! Sadly I don't have a 6 cell battery, but I have a plan for that too. You guys will laugh, but I think I'm going to use some adhesive velcro and attach a piece of dowel cut to size to the bottom of the 3 cell battery.
