Won't break my finances but I will probably cry a bit , lol ...
I like this one and is actually the one I own: Timbuk2 Nylon Kindle Envelope Sleeve |
A sleeve will do you no good at all once you have the K3 out of the sleeve to use it. It will be very unprotected in case it gets bashed or dropped. A sleeve that doesn't fit the device with a case is of no use overall.

It doesn't really protect the reader. The chances are that the reader will need the protection while you are using it and because most sleeves don't fit the reader with a cover, you take a greater risk of damaging your reader. Sure, a sleeve can be cheaper, but it's only partly useful. You still need a cover.
