    ^^^ this is the way to go. You can pick up a box of swabs about 1 x 1 from walmart or other drug store for cheap. They are not non-streak so you will want a soft cloth such as microsuede to buff the screen a little after you clean it.

    if you want to do it NOW, get a Q-tip and put it in rubbing alcohol then tap the Q-tip on a tissue so it doesn't have alot of RA on it. then rub it softly on the screen as you rub across screen pat with a kleenex that is all soft things. good luck let us know what you end up doing.

    SOOKS,

    Sorry to go OT a little but how did you get your replacement so fast? I thought replacements get shipped out at the same time as the others? Just wondring since my GF may need a replacement.

    i wonder if most people took this screen protector off...i left mine on, my gf left hers on as well. mine had a few tiny bubbles in it when i got it, i just smoothed the thing out with a credit card and the bubbles have been gone ever since. i don't even notice its on there to be honest...other then the tiny scratches on it. i'm still debating on what type of screen protector i'd upgrade to if i were to ever take it off.

    I also received a replacement today. Or should I say it will be delivered today. I think they set aside replacement phones for the ones who return and ship 2 day. Mine shipped on 11/28 and it will arrive today (Same issue with the screen). I will be sending mine back if it has the same issue. But in the interim, I am using a credit card.

    OK back on topic. Rubbing alcohol works wonders even to just get finger prints and smudges off or just to clean before you put on any type of protector like GA, IS or Phantom.

    just a word of caution, i wouldn't use any paper goods (tissues, paper towels) on this phone. paper goods are products of trees and contain very fine particles of wood. these wood particles can easily scratch the finish on your screen.

    a microfiber cloth would work well for removing fingerprints/polishing the screen.

    What sooks took off is not the shipping screen protector you left on yours. Two totally different things and screen protectors have nothing to do with the way the clicking ability of the screen has. That's a physical defect in the screen/button design for the click technology on the screen.
