I don't really think it's in any "danger" in an oversized sleeve. But as it shifts about in there, it's easy to see where buttons could be bumped. That sort of thing shouldn't matter too much, but it's a bit of a nuisance. I also tend to think from a protective standpoint, a case should be a bit firm as well as padded--the semi rigid cover/case front and back help spread any impacts towards the edges of the screen, and padding helps to absorb the energy of the impact. That really works best if you're dealing with a snugly fit case though.
On the other hand, my 1st gen iPhone has no screen issues at all, not even a scratch, and it has no protection on the front screen. None. I routinely toss it into a purse loose with other objects, and it's been a non issue. My husband carried his iPad around in a non padded sleeve in another non padded bag for weeks without a problem. These things are built to be carried around and used. I don't know about you, but the iPad just plain FEELS less fragile than my Kindle does--maybe it's the lack of plastic?
