Got the camera back

I managed to crack the LCD on my Canon SD800 point-n-shoot on my last trip to Paris. Got it back from the repair shop, charged $135 to do the repair. About half parts and half labor.

Now I'm in search of a protector for the LCD. One of the main points in favor of a small camera like this is the drop-in-pocket size. I had carried the camera in a jeans pocket or backpack across 4 other international trips before I broke it. I don't want to go to a camera case and lose the size advantage. I've come up with a number of stick-on LCD protectors aimed to protect against scratches and smudges. There are some for high-end digital SLRs that look like what I really want. But I'm not sure any of them will fit the little Canon.
