What would be good to wipe smudges off the screen. im just afraid of scratching the damn thing!

Just a soft cloth will do, nothing more. I put a screen saver on mine and no more smudges! It's still as sensitive as it was.

Microfiber or LCD screen wipes.

Go to an optometry store (LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, etc.) and buy a cleaning cloth for glasses. Anything that is safe to use on a surface with as many special coatings as modern eyeglasses will most likely be perfectly fine for your screen.

I have this giant pack of microfiber cleaning cloths I use to wipe down my car that I carry in the trunk. It's like $14 at Costco for a pack of 20 or so.

Good call on the LCD screen wipes! i also noticed that if you try and click the screen with a cloth it will not respond, wont even highlight anything. If this is so then what the **** is the screen lock for? ha unless you have a password activated.

Yes microfibre is my recommendation as well... It's what we use at work to clean plasma and LCD flat screen TV's. You don't need a cleaner... Unless you are using an eyeglass cleaner.

Dry microfibre or slightly dampened with water if needed. That's all. NO amonia based cleaners!!!

I have a few cloths lying around and a couple in my car for the odd wipe and shine.

I say just get used to it. Its a touchscreen, you have to touch it to use it so you will never keep the smudges off. When I first got my iPhone I was constantly wiping the screen. But after a few weeks I didnt care anymore and didnt pay attention to what the screen looked like. You cant even see them unless the screen is dark.
