Rapid Electronics sell a 7" (800x480) touch screen with a case enclosing
the screen and RPi on the rear for £48:

lcd-75-0756

I've seen and handled one when a mate brought it to the pub.

It looks reasonably made and fairly strong. The screen is crisp and
plenty bright enough for indoor use. I believe there's room for an
expansion card but the case is not splashproof because it has cut-outs
for access to the USB and RJ45 sockets. There is no room for a battery in
the case: its just a slim fit plastic shell for the screen with a bulge
on the back to fit round the RPi.
