Cleaning the screen?

Hi what is the best way to remove the finger prints from the iphone screen. The little cloth that comes with the phone only moves the finger prints around and does not really do anything. I need something that is safe for the screen as I do not want to break my phone.

I MAC, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

You can buy a package of microfiber cloths for a couple of dollars and you get two large sheets/cloths. They work very well for removing fingerprints and anything else. I've had my iPhone since the first of October and I haven't even used a quarter of one of the two cloths. I cut off a quarter of one of the sheets. I clean my entire iPhone every couple of days.

Get the power support anti-glare film set sold at apple stores. I almost never have to clean mine because the anti-glare film has a matte finish and doesnt pick up fingerprints and smudges much. It also makes the phone a lot more useable in direct light and protects the screen. Goes on easy without bubbles too.


I agree I got this when i purchased my IPhone this weekend and before i even did anything put this film on. Im rather OCD when it comes to keeping my electronics clean and this def helps

I buy packages of iClean at the Apple store. They're little individual wipes, and they come with two nice clothes. You can also buy a spray bottle of the same stuff. Works great. I don't know how Apple feels about using glass cleaner, etc. on it, but I wouldn't do that. I did it in a pinch when I ran out of my iClean cloths, and it kind of left a bit of a weird, stickiness on the screen for a few minutes. Scared me. won't do it again, although it didn't hurt it with one use.
