S400 LCD Screen Protector are these really needed?

[slza805]

I was just surfing Ebay for extras on my S400 and come to find some LCD protectors.

Are these needed? Does Canon manufacture some sort of protector?

On a Pocket PC I see a reason to buy one to protect the screen from the numerous tapping and writing.

Any info would be helpful.

Depends how well you look after your cameras !

I keep mine in a case when I'm not using it and never put it in a pocket with keys/coins etc so I don't find a screen protector necessary.

They can often distort the screen image and make nearby buttons harder to press too.
