I don't think the screen protector is going to do much to prohibit the screen from cracking on impact. The screen protector is mostly protection against scratching. I almost went without any case, but then decided a case is useful in protecting against impact damage possibilities. In my situation though, I was just trying to be extra careful. It really seems to me that the IPhone 5 is built well enough that it likely doesn't need a case for normal every day relatively careful use. AS was mentioned though there can be the possible slip out of your hands issue.
