Hi guys, I just bought my s view cover but there is a big problem for me...I really hate dust and dirty. I really appreciate if someone knows how to clean it, water or something else. Thank you.
Some rubbing alcohol should work. It helps with my yellow cover.
water and a clean smooth cloth should be fine
what about the inside part, the part which lands over the screen? My white one has got dirty as hell which makes the screen dirty as well!!
Vanish cleans the suede inside of the cover. apply, use soft toothbrush to aggetate the dirt and then rinse under cold water, use base of your hand to screed the excess water out and leave it out to dry. I suggest doing it without the phone attached.

Since you are in Holland, I always clean my screen with
'Swirl Brilpoetsdoekjes'. You can get them from Albert Hein 0,90c for 10

A bit of breath and a sunglasses cloth (Rayban ones are great) does the trick for me...
including getting the bits of dust etc that gather at the edges of the screen...you can poke the edges of the cloth down into the bottom and sides and fish out the bits that on the XDA1 would end up under the screen.

I use glasses cleaner wipes.
You can get these from all opticians.
They arent wet with solution so you dont have to worry about your screen
They are slightly damp and have alchohol base so they are great.

after 2 weeks of using, my screen is super dirty now.......... i am looking for the most efficient way to clean it..... (wipe on my shirt doesnt clean it at all....) and i am constantly getting the rainbow effect on the screen........... anybody has a solution?
buy a good microfiber cloth
I use a "dust off" for all my electronics and that works wonders.
i wouldnt advise you to use your shirt though

Exactly! I use a microfiber cloth everyday and use LCD/Plasma cleaning spray when it gets real dirty.

ya, even then, i dont think i would ever use any type of "chemical" that isnt water
DO NOT USE CLEANING SOLUTIONS.
This phone has an oleophobic coating on it, unlike LCD/Plasma TV's. Unless someone does a study on the effect of cleaning solutions on that coating, I wouldn't risk messing it up with a cleaner.
Here's how I clean my screen. You have a clean microfiber cloth, which is good. I start by going over the screen in circular motions, using medium pressure (I'm not a buff guy, so use lighter pressure if you are). Then i gently blow on the screen to very slightly fog it up, and immediately go over it again with circular motions. Switching between clockwise/anticlockwise helps. If any spots are left, I go over them with slightly harder pressure, but never in a scraping motion ... just circular buffing.
Note that the cloth used for cleaning needs to actually absorb the oils, so maybe yours isn't in such great shape and is just smearing the oils around (hence the rainbow effect).
Since there have been so many threads on this, someone should go out and make a tutorial video on cleaning your screen
Are y'all playing in the mud or something?
I have had no problems wiping the screen the few times it has had a print or two on it...

haha! a video tutorial will be super handy!
okay.... so... im about to buy a microfiber cloth as you all suggested! YAY!
Get a good microfiber cloth. I personally love Fossil's (the watch company). I use it for my glasses mostly.
Hold the phone with your left hand, cover it with the microfiber cloth, use the bottom of your palm on top of the screen, wipe like crazy in every direction for 2-3 seconds, you're done.
LOL. You can wipe it anyway you want, no particular way, just wipe. It's fine.
+1 on Micro Fibre.
How often do you guys change your microfiber cloth? Mine's getting a bit grimy from constant use and dust. Is it even washable? I'm using one that came with my Ipod Touch.

This is quoted from Autogeek.net http://www.autogeek.net/mi101.html
Wash your microfiber in the washing machine with detergent only. Tumble them dry on low heat or no heat. High heat will literally melt the fibers while fabric softener and bleach will eliminate the electric charge that makes microfiber so effective. Avoid those three laundry habits, and your microfiber will last indefinitely.
I just received my new One X today and the screen looks perfect when it arrives (with the seal broken because the vendor inserted the SIM card for me...). But after I started using it for a few moments and left some fingerprints on the screen, I noticed a very weird mark at the bottom of the screen near the home button.
It doesn't feel like scratches because I couldn't feel it with my fingers and after I wipe the screen using a microfiber cloth, it becomes invisible. But whenever I touch the place using my finger or exhale towards there which moistens that place slightly, the mark shows up. I suspected it might be some kind of glue, but it doesn't feel sticky and I just can't wipe it off.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated. Sorry I'm a new user and can't post external links for my pictures...
What does the mark look like, does it look like a scratch ( a straight line) or something else? Its possible for a scratch to be superficial enough that you can't feel it.
On the other hand, maybe its just residue from the film that was on the screen (to protect it in shipping). Wiping with a bit of glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth should help dissolve something like that.

Thanks for your input.
The mark looks like a label (wish I could show you the pictures somehow) and that's why I suspected it might be glue from some sticker.
I just tried the lens cleansing liquid and no success. Now I'm thinking maybe it really is a superficial scratch because after I wipe the entire screen using microfiber cloth I can still see these marks from certain angles.
Decided to ask for a replacement. Do they usually send the new phone or the refurbed phone as replacement? The store is Walmart Wireless.
I got a huawei U8800, which for some reason, the creators thought its a good idea to GLUE the factory screen protector to the screen.
So I used various liquids in order to try to remove that glue, the list varies from soap, WD-40, olive oil and some other stuff.
I am not sure, but chances are that the liquid that got inside is the WD-40, which DID clean the screen from the glue, but now the phone is filled with it from the inside, and even if the phone is flipped upside down, THE LIQUID KEEPS GOING UP!
the phone functions, but it looks horrid, EVERYTHING WORKS, but the screen looks like it has a bubble bath theme to it.
what do I need to do? is the phone screwed? can WD-40 dry up?
this is the second phone this month that something has happened to it, the first one was a cobalt with an extremely small ram amount, which caused it to malfunction after several minutes.
wasted $500 on phones this month...
WD40 is better than olive oil inside the phone anyway...-.-
You should try to unscrew the phone and clean it from the inside...
I love using those disposable lens wipes to clean my phone screens.
But with the flip screen being so fragile, how do you clean it?
Gently with a soft, clean microfibre cloth. DO NOT use any liquids. My wife's cleans up fine this way (even after she used it after a fried chicken meal - sheesh!)
I use a microfiber towel sometimes with a touch of warm water if needed...Works well

I always used a lens wipe for my note 10... I really wanna do the same with the flip.
I guess that's a bad idea?
Alcohol 75%. I know this might sound bad but use a very little amount each time and you will be fine

Samsung specifically warn about alcohol-based cleaners as it eats eat the polycarbonate top screen layer.

I've use this method for 15 years and it's the best way to clean lens and plastic optics. Water can actually increase the ability of a particle or object to cut into a surface ie wet car tires .
•Use common sense it the screen has something like sand on it, blow it off!
•Shake out the -clean- of cloth before each use.
Wash as needed, rinse very well, never use as kind of fabric softner unless you want streaks.
Best to use RO or deionized water for the final rinse(s).

Isopropyl can nearly instantly fatally craze acrylic plastics... it will also poison LCD displays, destroying them.
Be very careful on what you use it on.
I stopped using it on plastic glasses many years ago because of crazing.
It's in your face real.
