I used KYDEX V Sheet - 0.118" Thick, Black, 12" x 24" Nominal, and cut it to size with a dremmel. Paid $16 for mine (currently $8 w/ FS) and it worked great.
EDIT: I noticed that the above link doesn't bring you right to the sheet I used. Make sure you change from 8x8 to "0.118" Thick, Black, 12" x 24" Nominal"

for me, I just used a sharp utility knife and bending and it would break along the scored line.
I've always ordered this off Amazon. $14.20 each when in stock for Prime shipping.

The .093 might be easier to work with, if/when it's ever in stock.
The sheets they come with are a different type of plastic and just more flexible by nature, so the thickness isn't a good comparison.
Maybe ask these guys if they can get you a bigger piece? I think that's even thicker than what I got on Amazon (.118"). Seems expensive though. http://www.casstrom.se/en/knife-making/kydex-black-33-mm-0125-15x30-cm.html
If you haven't read, getting that Kydex sheet in to a GR2 is going to be really tough.
