I heard glass cleaners are too abrasive but water doesn't really cut it. Are there better alternatives?
Thanks,

Slightly damp cloth/tissue/paper towel... then just wipe it clean.
Works well on the case too.. keeping it simple usually works well.
iKlear is often recommended but there is a thread floating around about some of its negative aspects.

Also, a nice clean lint-free cloth should be used too. I actually like to use disposable Kimwipes that I swipe from the lab -- they're very gentle. I never use papertowels or kleenex if I can help it.

What are some of the negative aspects about iKlear. I'm currently using the product. It seems to do a good job.

Some people say it streaks the screan when you wipe it. But, someone else said if you wipe it while the screen is room temperature it doesn't streak. I just picked up some iKlear last week at the Cambridgeside store and am going
to try it out.

I have one of the microfiber cloths but it doesn't get rid of smudges that are more than a couple days old. I need something liquid but won't damage it. Water sort of cuts it i just didn't know if there was something easy which would work.
