Thought this might help.
To avoid damage to your LCD screen you can purchase a clear plactic adhesive cover tailor made to fit your screen. I have a Sony with 2.5in sceen so was paranoid about it breaking as it takes up most of the back of the camera. These covers i have dicovered are available on ebay and probably from good camera shops. Only a few dollars its worth it.
