For me, too thin means too hard to hold. I've got very small hands, and the beginnings of arthritis. I do better holding a reader in a cover, because I need more to hold on to. The only time I didn't use a cover on a Kindle was my K2 that I kept in a sleeve because the covers made for them used that hinge system to attach and they were known for cracking the bezel.
My thumb joints can't take the motion of squeezing and holding something so thin. Also, I read while laying on my side in bed and prop my Oasis using the cover.
That first little basic Kindle with the thin narrow page turn buttons was horrible to hold and use. It was too small and those buttons were a nightmare.
