I read somewhere that with time the oleophobic finish diminishes and yes obviously abrasive materials wear it off faster. I hope iklear doesn't make that finish diminish quicker because of the chemicals in iklear. I wonder what the word from apple is.
i follow this rule with anything type of glass that is treated with any type of coating. Including my anti reflective coated glasses.
Water + lint free cloth.
THAT'S IT.
don't get fancy with ammonia or soaps or alcohol.
the oleophobic screen already wipes pristine and clear with a simple swipe, I don't see going past using water and a lint free cloth.
If anything, you're saving money not buying cleaning products
water + lint free cloth i follow this rule with all my lcd screens and glasses, and i follow it with my iphone as well

From apples site : Keeping the Outside of iPhone Clean To clean iPhone, unplug all cables
and turn off iPhone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide
the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid
getting moisture in openings. Dont use window cleaners, household cleaners,
aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPhone. If
your iPhone has an oleophobic coating on the screen, simply wipe iPhones
screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands and face.
Please note that the ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time
with normal usage, and that rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will
further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.

I used it as first but I agree with others that there are many other home products that are just as good.
