Does anyone know if we can use any solutions to clean the screen. The Apple store is seeling a small spray bottle the looks a lot like what I use to clean my TV LCD screen. I remember reading that we should not be using any solutions. The cloth that they gave is just not doing a good job.
Any thoughts?????

I'm using microfiber cloths I bought at a local automotive store (usually Kmart or Walmart has them too). When I bought an Apple Cinema it came with a free microfiber cloth that was REAL nice, and I keep that in my car now also. No solution needed... just a quick buff with a microfiber cloth does the trick :)
The problem with the one included is it is too small. You just need a bigger, thicker one.

I use a product called Plexus, you can purchase it in little spray bottles
(.42 oz.), works great, actually repels fingerprints. Here's the link:

PS I know it says plastic cleaner on it, but it can be used for all computer type surfaces, monitors, LCD's, etc.

I turn it off completely. Put the cloth on about 1/3 of the screen PRESS down and slide up, move over 1/3 repeat, and once again repeat.
I used some screen cleaner from Monster. It's meant for LCD TV'sa nd monitors but works well on the iPhone. Just spray a bit onto a microfiber cloth and wipe it a couple of times. Make sure that you do not spray it on the iPhone directly.

Considering it's optical grade glass, windex works great.

When I put it in my pocket the pocket material ends up taking off all of the finger prints, so i basically never clean the screen. If i were to though, then i just use the cloth it comes with.
