This is not about protection when reading.
This is about cover being attached permanently to the device.
When you use a typical flip cover ala Sony Reader PRS-500, the cover is attached to the device.
So:
You pick reader from your night table, carry it to the loo, flip cover open, read for 3 minutes, flip cover closed, go to wash your hands, then you go to the living room, flip cover open, read for 10 minutes, flip cover closed, put reader on the table.
When you use sleeve cover and you remove it and you have to put it somewhere. In the above described scenario you would most probably just leave the sleeve on a nightstand.
Another scenario.
You go to the park with kids and sit on a bench while they are playing in the sandbox or making rounds on bicycle.
With flip cover you sit on the bench, take out reader, flip it open and read away ... When it is time to go home, you flip the cover closed, put it into bag or breast pocket and start looking for your kids ;-)
With sleeve, you sit on the bench, take out reader, pull down sleeve, you have to find a place to put your reader down, so you can open bag and store the sleeve, then you pick the reader ... You are basically juggling with reader, detached sleeve, bag, whatever.
Now, imagine reading in Metro train. Holding yourself with one hand.
