Hey guys
Quite a while back I bought the case mate tough and long story short, I messed up the screen protector. I took it off and ever since then I get horrible little hairs and dirt sticking to my screen. Is there something I can use to give the screen a good clean? I just think that the screen protector may have made the screen slightly sticky. I already have a micro fiber cloth but it doesn't seem to get rid of whatever is causing it

I use the same wipes that I use on my eyeglasses to clean the screens on my cell phone and other portable devices
OR
baby wipes...just dab it a bit...and use ur microfibre cloth in circular motion
n done..
thanks i'll try it out and see how it goes!
I use alchohol wipes - they seem to do the trick
I use a little handwash soap + water, and then again with just water. The same way I clean my eyeglasses.

Ohmygod
He was talking about his device, and you tell him to wash it with water O.O
I'm sure you're talking about the screen protector, cause I did clean it the way you described

what i use to clean my phones screen is the spray that u get for lcd tv's and they usually come with a microfibre cloth.. i usually spray the screen and wipe it starting from a corner and polish it using the other side of the cloth.

you can also use some after shave because it is alcohol based, it will evaporate and make the phone feel like it was new
I am using wipe from MacBookPro
You can use an lcd screen cleaner or some stuff called goo gone, i got at walmart
Anyone have bubbles on their crespo screen protector? I have mine in top and bottom and the very beginning of the screen. Is it due to the curvature of the screen?

They usually disappear in a few days if you have just installed the screen protector.

not if you are a pro screen protector installer like me .. there must be dust particles in those bubbles you are seeing. they won't automatically disappear. best is take off the screen protector, clean the phone surface, and apply new screen protector. be sure to apply in a clean place with lots of sunlight so you can see any dust particles.

Have a light scratch on my screen. Can't feel it with a finger but can see it.
What can I use to minimize it / buff it?
Was thinking about buffing it with car wax, then thought about tring to use car clear coat scratch remover.... thoughts?

I've heard that people can use toothpaste to remove scratches before you can give it a try
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda premium
You can buy glass scratch removal kits off the internet but I'm not sure how they would work on a screen or even if they would damage it more
Dunno about the scratch removal kit, but people said toothpaste makes it worse.
From what people say in the iPad forums, the only way to remove scratches in the oleophobic coating is to remove the whole thing by buffing it out. You can't just do the scratch or it becomes obvious when the screen is on that you've buffed out a section of coating....
Everybody says to just use a screen protector (for light scratches), remove the coating entirely, replace the screen, or send it in to apple, who will 're coat the screen.

I bought a bottle of clean screener with nice soft cloth. Does the job nicely. Fragrance free wet wipes will work nicely too.
I just use my glasses cloth. Simple as that. I dont have a screen protector either

Thanks guys. Really appreciate Your replies .
I'll look up for the screen Cleaner then.
thanks again

I try to use only a micro fibre cloth. I get them at camera stores. I use them on my dslr camera lenses, so I trust then
A little glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth works nicely...with or without screen protector.

I just generally use a soft clean microfiber cloth to get rid of finger prints but for things that can't be removed with a dry cloth I use a biodegradable glass cleaner that does not contain any ammonia or alcohol and a clean microfiber cloth
.
Yesterday i bought the Spigen glass.tr screen protector
it's a dry protector and no wet solution needed
the biggest problem any one can had is the dust under the screen protector
anyway
i installed the protector after cleaning my phone screen very carefully and i was sure that there was no dust there
and of course after the installation there was some dust between the protector and the screen
i was very mad . it's a 30$ protector
i removed the protector and using some alcohol (the white one that u can find in any drug store )
i cleaned the protector
then i made sure that the protector stays wet with the alcohol and i applied it then used the squeegee to remove any small drops of alcohol between the screen and the protector
and now its perfect no dust and no bubbles at all
i wanted to share this with everyone having trouble applying his glass screen protector

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered mine yesterday and was looking for a solution to this ahead of time. This should work great!
So no hazing or issues with the alcohol coming in contact with the edges (case or what have you)?

How did you remove it? Most stories I've read of someone removing have led to a problem in the area where they first pried it up.
Usally whn this happens i just get tape and stick it under the screen protector without removing it totally or screen and remove the dust. And lay the screen protector again. Always works for me.

Mime ghost glass comes with an anti-dust film. All I did to install was wipe the screen down to remove oils, stick on the film and remove it, and put the glass on. Not a single bubble or spec of dust on the first try.
Great tip!
One has to be OCD about cleaning, to ensure dust free surface before application!
I was able to install it in one go without any dust particles!
I had it in a very well lit room on my workbench with table lighting + my ledlenser headlight looking at the screen from various angles and gave a final wipe with the included mf cloth ( had cleaned the screen prior to final wipe with included ipa swab quite a few times)just before removing the film to install glas.tr.
Not to mention I minimized airflow throughout the room which really helped to prevent dust movement and recontamination of the screen surface!

not if you dust is on the middle
and if you have a cat or dog , it will be a miss
i use your method always when there is dust at the corners or edges so it easy to remove it
Thanks for this. I ruined and discarded a glass screen protector because I tried to remove dust using the old tape method. By the time I was done so much other stuff had landed on the sticky side that I gave up. I then tried water but it was too sticky to make a difference. I may buy another one now knowing I can use rubbing alcohol!
If you're really nuts about no hazing from alcohol then use some true 190 proof Everclear.
Also, use a bunch of bursts from a can of compressed just before you apply the protector, but be careful to not blow anything on the exposed backing.
I would use an isopropyl or ethyl type alcohol, no acetone.
I've always just gone into my bathroom, run the shower at hot until the mirror glass begins fogging up, clean off my phone screen, apply the protector.
The steam will weigh down the dust particles in the air allowing you to install your screen protector without finding dust immediately after you just cleaned it.

That sounds like an interesting idea too. Only downside I might see is if the steam gets between the glass and the phone, and the steam is from impure water (no tap water is perfectly pure), and those mineral deposits become visible in between the glass someday. But I'm probably overthinking it. Will have to do an install myself in a few weeks, tough to decide between the steam room and the alcohol methods.

That's why I said "as soon as the mirror starts to fog up" instead of "wait until everything's so foggy you can barely see in front of your face".
You can also wait until you start seeing some steam, then open your bathroom door a crack and turn off the shower. That'll stop the accumulation of steam but still allow you to proceed with the installation.

can you elaborate on this? what kind of problem, i know i have a replacement on the way from MIME (amazing customer service btw), so i'm curious why peopled are having an issue with removal...
I've just seen a handful of stories in this forum where people have peeled up their glass and when they've put it back down, the corner they peeeled from won't lay flat.
