I bought this and recommend it 100%. I have it on my K-5 IIs, and it comes with two - one for the main/back screen and the top screen as well.

ACMAXX 3 0 Hard LCD Armor Protector Pentax K5 II K 5 2 K52 K5II MARK2 Mark K5D | eBay

Can't recommend it enough.

Agreed. It's the first accessory I bought for my K5ll and it fits wonderfully.

I bought a K-5iis a little over a month ago. After reading about the scratch resistant glass, I opted not to protect it. It now has smudgy fine scratches mostly in the center of the screen. I am very careful with my cameras and can only figure the scratches either came from clothing or possibly belt buckle. I have owned Pentax cameras starting with the K-100. Those screens were plastic so I used protectors. Any advise on how to remove these fine smoky looking scratches?

You could try a non-abrasive polish like Flitz that can be used to polish minor scuffs. I use it to tone-out the scuffs on my ND grad filters. Works fine but does not totally remove the deeper scratches.
