I've heard that canon EOS camera's LCD comes with a protector on it but I'm not sure if the 7D does.
Does anyone use a screen protector for their LCD screens on the 7D?

In short. Yes.
Invisible Shields are great.
I have one on my 400D and my IPOD.
I now buy them as presents for other people.
Get one.
Agreed. Best form of protection that costs like $20. Worth every penny.
I agree, I have one on my 7d lcd screen $9.00 aud, better to save the screen than have scratches all over it.
I didn't see this post yesterday or I would have responded--the Invisible Shield is fantastic. I put one on every small device I own that has a screen on it--I've had one on (3) phones, (3) SLRs, (2) Palm organizers, and (2) mp3 players (and probably more items that I can't think of at the moment). I've never had a scratched screen since I started using the Invisible Shields. I highly recommend them.
Thanks for the recommendations everyone.
Another quick question, does anyone find that the invisible shield affects the view/glare on the 7D screen? The screen as it stands is fabulous, and it would be a shame if the invisible shield caused glare or made it harder to see.
Also, does it just come with a protective cover for the back LCD, or does it have something for the top LCD panel as well? If not, are any of you concerned about the top panel?

However, I can tell you that the Invisible Shield comes with a top LCD panel protector in addition to the rear LCD protector.
Thanks for the extra nudge, Sean and others. I have a protector on my iPhone, but for some reason I have put off getting one for my 7D. I'll be ordering an Invisible Shield next week.

I don't like them. They add a slight shimmereffect that to me looks weird... The screen on the 7D and many other canon cameras already has aprotectivefront that you can replace for around $20. I believe this part is sold only from canon so you'd have to call them to get it but if my screen gets to scratched (in a year it hasn't yet...) then I'd get a replacement. The kit comes with a suction cup to remove the old one.
