does this increase/decrease glare on the screen? Also, can you still operate the buttons on the screen with this cover on?

On mine it decreased the glare. And yes u can work the buttons. I bought it to keep it from getting wet and it serves the purpose.

Any covering such as this will diminish your view of the screen somewhat, but I have used this cover and I didn't lose much visibility. I could still see the display just fine and I could operate all of the buttons as well. This cover is one of those things that you wish you had when you are 2 miles from your car and it starts to rain since the Ace series of metal detectors are not waterproof. I have used mine a few times and I am glad it had it with me.

Won't reduce the glare because it is clear plastic but it doesn't interfere with operating the buttons at all. Hope this helps.

I have the Anti-Glare version and it works well. Not too overly bright (which is good when reading at night). The only negative is slight streaks or smudging you can see if the light is reflecting against the screen.

I don't think it affects the glare. If it does, the difference would be small. If you want to reduce sun glare, you would need a matte finish. I had one of those on another tablet; it was great for glare but it definitely did cut down the sharpness and brightness of the tablet. I removed it. This does help for fingerprints quite a lot on the nook, but doesn't eliminate them.

It doesn't state that it is anti-glare. When you apply it you can't tell that you have it on. It looks just like your original screen but I have not had any kind of glare issues with it at all.

not really. cuts glare on glass surface but doesnt do anything for over all screen fade out that seems to appear in sunlight.

No, this does not block the view area or any of the soft buttons at all. There is enough 'dead area' around the active screen where this wont make a difference. The protector works awesome.

I don't think anything can completely control glare and reflections. I do use mine in a very bright room (big windows, no blinds) and I'm quite happy with it. If you have a big source of light that's reflected in the screen you will see glare. I do have it on a mount that lets me swivel the set to avoid the worst of the reflections. Hope this helps.

I don't think it helps with the glare, but I put it on about a day after I got my Kindle so I didn't have much time to notice any glare.

I haven't noticed any glare with mine; It looks exactly like the computer screen itself, can't even tell I have a screen protector on.

Glare, no, but it will wash out the picture depending on how strong your lighting is

Looks like this was answered below. I will say that I don't use this anymore. You can't see the screen because of the glare. It's even worse is you use polarized sunglasses.

I would say it reduce more than 60% of glare, assuming there is a light source directly shine on to the screen. It helps a lot when you are using your laptop under direct sunlight; also you would see no glare at all if you use it indoor!

No,its a great screen, best ive ever had on any device, but doesn't greatly improve anti glare

You will get some glare. Still worth it given the led screen is protected and looks not bad

There will be a reduction of glare but with a trade off of screen clarity. I guess it depends on which you think is worse.

Simply no, in terms of glare the monitor is within normal level besides it comes with some kind of hood that you can cover the surroundings of the monitor which from the other hand control the excessive amount of external lights that can have effects on the monitor. For me, I used it once only to test it and I have not used it anymore because the monitor is clear enough in my well-lighted office.

I don't have a screen protector on. When its not in use the flap on the case protects the screen perfectly. I also don't use outside so glare would not be a problem for me personally. I personally would not use anything. It is really just situational.
