What is the name of the clear sticky plastic thing that comes on your brand new cell phone screen?

What do they call that thing on the screen of a new cell phone. It is like a clear or blue color very thin plastic, It is sticky and you can peel it off easily but does it have a name and can I buy it somewhere?

thnx in advance

Update:

thnx for the answers guys but it is definitely not a wipe. I don't think the screen protector is the same as these thing. Screen protectors are thicker, this stuff just comes on the screen with the phone when u first purchase it.Yes it is there for protection purposes but I don't think it is the same thing as the screen protectors that are sold everywhere,it is a very slim film, it is pretty much like a tape.

Btw, how do I answer to your responses.I can't figure it out. Do I have to be a different Level or something? All I was able to do is Add Detail to my question so that's how I am trying to response to your responses.

    They are called "screen protectors"...should be able to get them at any office supply store or in the phone/camera section of the store.

    We use them on our phones and our digital camera...really helps protect from scratches.
