Do TV makers offer glare free protective covers for the TV, like a pane of clear plastic? I've never seen one.

I mean from damage. LCDs are soft. What if my kid throws a water bottle at it or something. I want something to keep damage away from the actual LCD screen.

Warning: This is a warning you are not gonna get from the dealers or the manufactures. LCDs have very fragile, very breakable PLASTIC screens. Screens because there are two. The "inner" screen of my 7 mos. old Sony Bravia 42" is broken. Broken by a 34 lb., 3year old throwing an empty plastic cup. The screens are plastic because they can be and it prevents the screen from being reflective. It also makes them CHEAPER to make. No warranty, no repair. If you have children or children visit, do not buy LCDs.
Plasma have a glass screen like all other TVs except LCDs.
Plasma is better 42" or larger and in dark rooms or basements and for viewing sports. Most plasma brands also have anti-glare coatings. When I can get another $2000 together I will get plasma.
Dont buy an expensive TV then cover it up.

Just clean the surface with a clean cloth. Anyway, every LCD can only last for 60,000 hours & you can extend its usage life.
