Screen protectors and cases

I am a new Galaxy S2 owner via Walmart as of Friday and was curious as to the community's opinion on screen protectors and cases... since I paid $300 + tax and plan on keeping my device for a while I'm thinking of going with a Zagg Invisible Shield and this case (for the kickstand, seems like a good idea for use with the S2):

I just bought a "Ballistic" brand case for $19 and 5 screen protector for $2 from ebay. I will post a review and pictures once I get it. I'm using a psp screen protector on the phone right now, (better than nothing) and being careful when setting it on tables and such. Touch screen response is the same as before, even though the psp screen protector is kind of thick.

Thanks for the feedback... I purchased two cases, the one I mentioned and the Seido based on Atmazz's post. The one I described is burly enough to use at a concert or sporting event where my phone may be in more "danger" and the Seido is slim enough to offer protection at home or work.

I did invest in the Zagg Invisibleshield... I've never had a screen protector before, even when I bought the original Droid upon release - hate them LOL I even removed the pre-applied one from my Triumph. It is taking getting used to but again, $300 is a lot of money for me to spend on a phone so I want to ensure it gets treated right.
