I keep those very worn out T shirts for cleaning the smudges, they been washed so many times they are lint free. Just cut them up in nice neat squares and nobody will know you're a cheapo.:D

Honestly, I'm certain there are many of us that find the round smears of oils/finger spots annoying when we turn off the iPad...what works best for you, to remove them easily?

I've been using a small micro-fiber cloth: about 3x3 in size.
I don't have an iPad yet and I'm curious. Does one have to press that hard on the touch screen as to leave finger prints?:confused:

It's actually not pressure caused...just contact based. Imagine rubbing your finger tips very softly against the lens of your glasses...a film of oil (all be it natural) will leave a haze on the smooth glass surface.

The same thing occurs with the iPad. Not a design flaw, just the politics of dancing I guess :D

Your iPad will know the difference.

Do a Wikipedia search for micro fiber and read the article. Look for the diagram of cotton vs micro fiber on the right hand side.

They are two completely different animals with micro fiber being light years better for cleaning an iPad.
