From what I read he's pulling all screen covers from the Apple Store (both online and their retail shops). The reasoning is supposed to be that by selling screen covers (whether they be protective, anti-glare, or whatever) it implies to the customer that the screen isn't hardy on it's own.
Stupid reasoning, and I wouldn't be surprised if they make a similar decision regarding cases at some point in the future.
However it's not an outright ban on screen covers, as even Saint Steve doesn't have the power to prevent other retailers from selling such products, nor does he have the power to sue every manufacturer that tries to make one (not that he'd likely have any grounds to stand on even if he tried). It does make it difficult for case manufacturers though, as if they want to be sold directly by Apple, they can't include a screen cover in the package.
Just more stupidity on Apple's part.
