Even without the splotchiness and/or discoloration, an extra layer of plastic will blur the eInk screen a bit. No plastic is perfectly transparent or invisible.
I have to disagree. I have an H2O and it does not have splotches or discoloration. When the light is off, the screen does look like there is no light layer. I don't know what Kobo has done, but it seem they did the light layer correctly.
