iPad Any freaks like me?

Just wondering if I am OCD crazy. I keep a microfiber cloth around near my Air and wipe it down several times at day. I hate seeing it sit there with finger prints all over it. I wish they would make a glass that didn't hold any fingerprints at all.

I agree it's quite disgusting. Not something I would expect from such an expensive device.
 
*Hand up* :p , with it being my first iPad i clean it everytime i put the cover over it! haha.
 
Have a micro fiber cloth in the house. I wipe the iPad once a week at least or when there's too many fingerprints.

I wipe my iPhone a lot more than the iPad. But then, I use it way more :)
 
Yup i a freak for cleaning my screen... I rub it on my belly to clean it lol
 
er...I sorta...kinda... do that except it's my Macbook Pro cause I keep wondering why nothing happens when I keep touching the screen..:eek:
 
We take our iPads everywhere so they get wiped off for germs... But not for keeping the back and front spotless. They are in cases and that's as good as it gets.

I clean my iPad Air, iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5 using Tech Armor Complete Cleaning Kit with ExtraMove formula and 20 Cleansing Wipes

I use the microfiber cloth and some of the cleaning solution and wipe it down until it is spotless. I am kinda like you but I do this 1-2 times a day.

Never bothers me while I use it, but if I see it sitting somewhere, I'll give it a quick wipe on my tshirt. Plus, having a white iPad helps a lot with this!! :apple:
 
I rarely wipe mine down. I think I'd wipe it down a lot more if I had a black device. I don't notice any fingerprints on the bezel of my iPad, and when the screen is on, I don't notice the prints on the screen either.
 
I have a microfiber cloth specifically designated to wipe down my rMBP after I'm done using it. I also have another microfiber cloth to wipe down my iPhone and rMini if I notice fingerprints. And yes, I even have a microfiber cloth that I keep at work to wipe my iPhone down if I notice finger prints. For this specific reason, I always go the white/silver iPhone/iPad route.

Yes, I'm pretty OCD.
 
I'm like that with both my iPhone 5c and Note III. Luckily for me I work in a cellphone shop. Plenty of microfiber cloths available.

Yup, wipe it all day. Plus usually wash my hands before using it! Despite having a screen protector and full case!

You might think that you will hide it now but wait till you have kids and the iPad will keep them quiet/busy for hours.

Believe me, when you have kids your priorites take a drastic change from where you are today! You will see:p

Agreed - before kids I thought I knew everything about parenting and how I would or wouldn't act. With kids, changes everything, while my kids a tad older now (turning 8) they still muck up my iPad and iPhone with grimey hands. That's another advantage that Ghost armor has for me.
 
During the week, I usually don't have time to be bothered so the screen maybe gets wiped 1 or 2 times Monday through Friday. On the weekend the screen and whole iPad usually gets cleaned a couple of times a day. I also throw it in a zip lock bag if I use it in the kitchen for recipes.
 
It's not just you. I wipe my new rMBP screen a few times a day. After seeing how ratty my 6 year old MBP became, I'm hoping I can keep the new one in pristine condition. I also hope I'm not mortal. Optimistic, I know.

Yeah if you have smart cover or smart case on it makes the smudges even more than your fingers. :D But yeah I like having a clean screen.

Take off the Smart Cover, roll it into the triangle grab it and clean the screen with the flat side down. Not a lot of people know to do this!
 
I let my brother and father try it today and just spent 15 minutes wiping it down. I need help, lol.
