Oh I know, and going from KA1 back to 6.8" HD seems so small. I was meaning that going back even further to a 6" would seem really small.

Are you sure you're talking about the Glo HD? I don't recall reading issues with the screen on it. The original Aura 6" capacitive screen had weird pattern issues, but I don't recall that with the 6" Glo HD.

Really, I doubt a protector is going to reduce glare much for you. I would definitely recommend trying without before you shell out for a protector. IIRC people have had issues with interference from a screen protector and ended up taking it off and throwing it away because it messed with the IR sensors.
