Not My Favorite Otterbox

I had an Otterbox Defender on my Blackberry 8330, and I loved it! So I immediately jumped at the chance to purchase one for my new Nook. This is a quality case that adds a good deal of protection to a valuable device.
The case feels good and rugged, but not too bulky and cumbersome. I like that it still fits in the travel case I have for it (though it's a tight fit). The edges of the touchscreen are very close to the case edges, which makes using page turn swipe a little more difficult, though not impossible.
My main complaint is with the screen protectors. The cover for the main reading screen casts a pretty bad glare, which seems to defeat one of the main benefits of that style screen. Because of the glare, I removed this protector which will obviously leave an important component fully exposed. Fortunately it's not a screen that ever needs to be touched!.
I wish the touchscreen protector extended all the way to the hard case so that my finger couldn't feel the edges.
