Since there's nothing in the rules for handling normal shields as cover, any solution will necessarily be house rules.

My own take is here. The brief version: Use the DB stat in the normal manner (as an Active Defense bonus), or as a cover-like penalty to hit the defender, whichever makes sense for the situation. (Don't apply both benefits vs the same attack.)
