Do you mean screen protectors? Try the Hori ones, they're the best. You can find them in DS accessory stores or online, probably dealextreme has them, I don't know, haven't checked in a while.
The touch screen actually has another cover over it. It's the cover that gets scratched (The cover that you try to protect with another cover, lol) I want a replacement as well. I think it's called a digitizer

i think they have a touch screen ndsl replacement and a "lower screen LCD"
the difference is that the touch is under the cover LCD screen like mflo said
so just buy a lcd screen replacement
if ur touch screen isnt broken then i think u need this

luckily since its bottom screen its easier to install
good luck!
p.s. use a screen protector HORI prefered

The issue here is that the touch-screen is part of a 'sandwich' between the LCD screen, a layer of acrylic, and the bezel/frame.
This has to be prised apart and reassembled.
I'm still in two minds whether to have a go myself (Replacement touch-screen should be here any day now) or to just send it back to Nintendo and pay the £30.50.
All the disassembly guides show the DS being stripped down to the touch-screen, but stop short of showing the LCD/Touch-screen/Acrylic sheet being taken apart.

so whats the actual touchscreen material? i have a problem that a fluid is stuck between my touchscreen; i thought it was water but a chinese friend of mine said that he changed the screen once in his ds and that it isnt water in my screen, but liquid crystal from the lcd! i said naah can't be, cos the lcd screen still works fine, and therefore he replied that even the touchscreen has a 'liquid layer', and that'd be leaking in my case. does anybody know anything about that?

No.
Its one LCD screen on the bottom and the touchscreen is the little seethrough pane directly on top of it.
Its not "sandwiched" between anything, unless you have a screen protector.

Ah, I see now. Other guide talk of an acrylic sheet. Maybe they mean the actual touch membrane.
So it's a case of....
1. Strip down the DS to the LCD/Touch-screen.
2. Peel apart the touch-screen from the LCD
3. Replace with the Glass TS from DealExtreme
and possibly refit the bezel.
Does that sound right?
Found some more useful info.
The photo does seem to show that the touch element is sandwiched between the LCD and the protective shield.
