Step 3: Getting the Size Right
You dont want your sleeve to be too big or small.
Use carboard to make an square with the same surface area and thickness as your device you can sew with this inside of the fabric and not risk the integrity of your device.
TURN AROUND THE FABRIC
unless you want the thread to be visible,. it looks kind of cheap if you do so.

Step 4: Marking Area
Mark with a pen the outline of your device and where will you sew.
Take in account your device isn´t flat, Use a paper and carboard version of your device to sew with it inside so you get the size right.

Step 5: Sewing
Pretty straightforward
sew 3 sides of the fabric where you marked them.
make sure the fabric is backwards so you can turn it around and it looks neat.
