One from Etsy. I needed one that was fabric and folded.
Sleeves ARE useless. The only thing they're good for is transporting. They aren't really the best thing you can get for an e-reader. The whole point is NOT to drop them while using them anyway. Cases are better because you can use it while using the Kindle and leave it on when not in use. You have to remember that sleeves are more for things like laptops. They store and protect them when NOT in use. |

In this case it is black and white. The OP needs her Kindle with some sort of protection all the time. That sleeve won't do it. I'm not challenging anything. I'm pointing out that that that sleeve is not what's wanted as it won't provide proper protection as it's too thin to fit a Kindle with case. Last edited by JSWolf; 06-15-2011 at 09:08 PM. |

Exactly! I've had more sleeves damage devices more than anything else too. Ever try pulling something out of one of them before?! They're made too tight!

If you do want a sleeve, get one that's not tight and will easily fit the Kindle and case and be easy to remove. Not many are like that. Might have to get a custom made one.

Some people prefer to use their Kindle naked, I'm one of those. In my opinion a permanent case adds too much weight and it's less comfortable while holding. Granted, if you let it dropped without any protection won't be the same than having something instead. And it looks like that's what Jessica likes or was looking for. By the way, I never suggested using a sleeve case plus and additional protection. And I don't even understand how you can suggest one that fits or is good when you don't even have a Kindle 3 , do you? Last edited by jocampo; 06-15-2011 at 10:03 PM. |

It'll hold a K3 inside a Kindle Leather Cover, but it's a snug fit. Lose the cover and it's a loose fit.

I am really surprised that sleeves are mostly junk. One would think that sleeves would be made to easily fit the device and a case. |

I got one of those 'universal' sleeves that fit the Kobo, Nook, etc. Since the Kindle 3 is slightly smaller, the fit is loose. However, with my silicone skin, it has a perfect fit (not too loose, not too tight).
