I've now received and fitted one of these soft plastic protectors:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130161855418
It is very clear and easy to apply, and does not mark the camera at all as it sticks by vacuum rather than adhesive, BUT any grease you get on it shows up badly and is hard to remove.
Without a protector, the bulk of any grease can be removed from the camera's LCD screen just by lightly wiping your finger over it, then the rest easily with a cloth. Not so with this protector.
Therefore I cannot recomend this product - except perhaps to those with very small or totally grease-free noses!
However the versions for mobile phones are fine if you're not in the habit of getting the screen greasy.

Oh Dear, not good, thank you for sharing...

I'm beginning to sound as though I'm on commission, but I'll say it again, ExpertShield protectors are fantastic and very reasonably priced.
Everyone looking for screen protectors should be aware of this excellent product.
They also have no adhesive and can be removed and reapplied as often as you like, although I have never needed to do this with mine.
No issues with greasy marks either!
They are available for K10D, K100D, K110D and *iST DL.

After my experience with the product I mentioned earlier (that is bound to be marketed under various different brand names), I can't believe that grease will wipe off any soft plastic film as easily as from the camera's bare LCD screen - that is made of relatively hard plastic.
If I do get another protector, I will look for one made of hard plastic or glass, not just another soft plastic one with a different brand name.

Oh ye of little faith !
Honestly Pete, the ExpertShield is A1. It's practically invisible and is just as easily cleaned as the screens themselves.

I bet it's made of exactly the same stuff.
Maybe I have stickier nose grease than you!

You can always buy a N*k*n. Most of their DSLR's come with a very robust lcd screen protector. And it just clips on the screen.That's one thing Pentax should offer also. Sorry for the swearing iceblinker wrote:

Thank u Martin, that solves the mystery! I thought I had seen that type before somewhere, that was the type I was after really - but not prepared to go that far!

A) £6?? Expertshield (but website is very very SLOW & frustrating)
B) Giottos
Made a mess of previous reply, picked the dummy, getting very confused!

Lilly - if the problem is smearing on the LCD, how about approaching it from a slightly different angle with one of these . They come in a range of sizes and there are even instructions on how to obtain the correct size! snip . . Maybe I have stickier nose grease than you!
