For me, it depends. It is nice to have this solid feeling with the metal, it feels premium and sturdy. My Voyage is also very nice, and I do like the back of it as it is not slippery and not temperature-dependent - I have no problem putting it in my backpack (in the frontpocket) or in my big winterjacket's pocket, without a case.
That said, I did cave and got the Amazon Kindle Waterproof case for the Oasis 3, as I don't like sleeves that much and I prefer to just have a case around it when I read.
