No I didnt. I actually got one of those neoprene type sleeve/cover for it. 
Jake-TeamAI had one that he didnt want. So while at the Pizza Event cache 
back in the Spring... I gave him a few bucks for it. He didnt like this one 
as it was really tight and it is. But it fits really snug and protects the 
GPS well. So other than it being really tight to get the GPS in and out 
of... it works great to protect the unit. I've dropped the unit a couple of 
times now and it is well protected in the shock proof case. I thought about 
those screen protectors... but would rather protect the whole unit. I might 
get those screen protectors for my PDA though. Are you referin' to the ones 
that are advertised on Geocaching.com?
