Why do people care about fingerprints. It's a FREAKING touch screen for gods sake. You people have OCD. Take a dry cloth and run over every 4 to five days and chill.

One of the main reasons people will say microfiber cloth, or a cotton hankie/shirts in a pinch is because paper products like tissues and paper towels are abrasive and will scratch or wear away anti-scratch coatings.

Means your glasses and soft plastics like polycarbonate will get fine scratches quicker.

'You're going to guess it's ruined' ???? Guess?! Can't you simply LOOK at the screen and see if it's 'ruined'? Seems like the most obvious thing to me.

She's done it many, many times. So I'm gunna guess it's ruined.

Lol. Will Windex hurt glass? That's the best question I have heard in years! Maybe we should send an email over to SC Johnson and let them know that Windex is GREAT on glass!

Nope. It won't hurt your iPhone which, in case you missed it - is made of glass. :cool:

The same reason people care about minute cracks in their case or specks of dust under their screen or their home button not being exactly lined up or the bezel not being aligned or.....

I've been using windex to clean both my original and my 3GS for years. Not just the glass, but the whole thing! There has been no degradation on the oleophobic coating and they both look brand new.

Same here, front, back, and sides
