"Must have" accessories for a new Prime owner?

not even about the smudges for me, i know that gorilla glass in reenforced glass, but i have 2 cousins who have dropped their ipods without screen protectors, and ended up with shattered screens, i on the other hand, have dropped mine many times, and never once have i cracked it.

call me superstitious, but im getting one one mine, just for peace of mind.
