What should I do about a cracked touchscreen laptop digitizer?

I have an Asus Vivobook S500CA, and I carry it around in a backpack occasionally. The digitizer cracked when some asshole decided to kick my backpack because it was slightly touching theirs. I dont want to spend the $80 to replace the digitizer for the touch feature I never even use, so what should I do? I dont want to deal with a cracked screen anymore. I want a cheap plastic cover thing that I could just replace the digitizer with, but I havent found anything. Does there happen to be some other 15.6 inch laptop that happens to have the same exact design, minus the digitizer (and preferably gloosy/non glossy plastic)?

You should have made them pay for it
