Laurent,
I don't recommend the LP shell protectors unless you buy extras or have stock in Super Glue.
I have a set of LP Classics that came with the "Integrated Shell Protectors". They are simply a modified washer with a rubber bumper that is intended to protect neighboring drums from lug damage when the drums bump into each other. It's a great idea, but I've had a lot of trouble with mine.
I use LP bags to move my congas from place to place. It has become a regular event that I find the little rubber bumpers at the bottom of the bag. I've Super Glued them back on, and that seems to hold better. However, they continue to come off pretty easily.
