Of the 3 covers you listed, I like the Amazon the best. The others look like they could interfere with the keypad. The Amazon case/cover leaves the K3 clean and unrestricted. Note the caution at the end of this post.

There are some other options you may wish to review on Amazon.com (or elsewhere). These are cheaper options and seem to leave the keypad unrestricted, best I can tell from the pics.
JAVOedge book style (~$17)
JAVOedge flip style (~$17)

TrendyDigital (~$32)
Marware (~$30)

I didn't provide links to the last two as I figure you can do your own search. But I ordered a Marware flip, a lighted Kindle case (gift), and a JAVOedge flip case to go along with a couple of K3s that are on order too.

One note, if you get a case that is secured by the spine (Amazon case, lighted or not), get some of the Smak-Dab clips to secure it to the back cover. Else you run the risk of cracking the K3 where it connects to the cover if you inadvertently try to open the cover from the back instead of the front.

Feature-wise I like the lighted K3 case as the built-in light will turn off when the K3 goes to sleep (if you go to sleep while reading). Plus, it draws power from the K3 and you don't need to deal with extra batteries or an extra device to tote around. I just personally didn't want to pay the price and for me, went with cheaper options. Hope I don't regret that!
