Will a screen protector/case help prevent a cracked screen?

We've got 3 TF300t's in the family now and love them. I'm interested in the situation of the folks that have had their screens crack. Were they using screen protectors and/or cases with their TF300t's? And if so which brand and type? If this has been covered before sorry in advance, just point me to the thread. Thanks.

After reading all the posts here regarding cracked screens I've come to the conclusion that 95% of them are caused by the dock and not the pad itself. If this is indeed the case I don't see either a case or screen protector helping out in this regard. However, in my opinion a screen protector will reduce the wear on the screen itself (dings, scratches etc) which will help keep the screen stronger in the long run. And having a case of some sort does add a little cushioning so for accidental drops there is MORE chance of your tablet surviving than without. I just received my Secondshell case from Amazon yesterday and already I feel more comfortable handling my tf300. For an extra $30 a case is a pretty good investment in my opinion.
