Is it safe to clean the Nexus 7 screen with a dry microfiber cloth?
Why wouldn't it be? It's safe to touch it with your finger, isn't it?:silly:
as long as your microfiber cloth is clean from any dirt or sand. i got little scratch because when i wipe it, there a small sand with the cloth.
I use my tongue and then wipe it (the tablet) on my jeans. Saves me having to carry a cleaning cloth.
As above, as long as the cloth has no dust or sand on it, it should be fine.

Dry microfiber cloth is fine, just don't use any chemical-based window cleaners or stuff like that.
I usually just soak it under the sink for 10 minutes.

I send mine thru the car wash....if you spring for the wax the screen is silky smooth and shiney!

Am I the only one that runs theirs through the washer and dryer? Nothing beats the warm feel of a nexus 7 fresh out of the dryer with that fresh laundry smell
Oh, I can't be bothered with cleaning it. When it gets dirty, I just throw it in the trash and buy a new one. Nothing beats that static when you remove the foil for the first time!

I use sand paper.
Just be sure to use medium sand paper or it won't clean it.
Sandblasting followed by acid bath. Just don't do it too often or you might void your warranty.
Why clean when your going touch it again?
Sorry gents, but i think we have beaten the humor out of this one.........
OP - as noted, yes, it is perfectly safe (and is the recommended way). You can also add lens cleaner to help clean off stubborn spots.
Case closed.

I found out that nexus s battery cover will scratch easily even I didn't put my phone on the table.
I don't silicon casing that will make my phone thick. Here is how I protect my phone.

Stick a layer of plastic on it.
Ya, red looks ugly, will change to white or black colour soon.

That's what I did too, except mine is a transparent film from BestSkinsEver
what kind of plastic is that? and how did you do it?
Normal transparent coloured plastics. Just a side with gum and a a side is smooth.
Use powerful hair drier to heat the red plastic and stick it... you can spray water onit to bubbles-proof. In this case, my dad didn't use water.

I think Zagg.com had a scratch protector for the back cover.
I didn't believe those that said smudges would be problem on this phone, but it definitely is. To top it off, grit is stuck in some of my speaker holes and I've no idea of how to get it out. It sticks out like a sore thumb when the phone is clean...

Damn that sucks mine has stayed clean for the most part, I don't know what I would do either if mine got like that..The speaker holes are sooo tiny very difficult to get clean..

I have a xtreme full body kit on mine. Completely clear and has 100% clarity. You can't tell there is anything on the front or back. Takes a simple wipe of the phone with a cloth and it shines like new. No case needed.

I just throw mine in the dishwasher and it gets clean as a whistle. Top shelf only!
Ahh, finally got some replies.
The body isn't much to wipe off, but in having trouble finding something to maybe poke into the grille holes

I just installed xtremegaurd front and back. U can definately tell it's there(as far as the feel). I'm thinking about taking the screen protector off. The back I will leave because I am waiting on my atmosphere case which has a clear back to it so I still can see the back and not worry about debris getting behind and rubbing on the anodization.

I do this as well as using a magnet covered in tape (to see what actually cones out) to clean my phone weekly. I'm a machinist and **** plays hell with my phone. On my second one so far.
I don't use screen protectors or cases on any of my devices. Wondering if anyone has any scratches on the gear yet?? If so post a pic.

How did it happen? Did the gear hold up better than you thought it would?
Walkin thru a door way ay work. Hit pretty hard. New the moment i hit it i may have scratched it. Its so slight that its not noticable. Actually had a hard time takin picture. Ive dinged it a few other times but thats the only scratch.

Mine is pretty badly scratched too.. :/
I was bending down to pick up a box at the house and I hit my head into my brick around the door very minor scratch. Is held up a lot better then I had expected
Be careful with those screen protectors, especially the wet kind. I took caution when I spayed the screen but after getting the protector on I noticed to my horror that there was condensation under the camera lens! Fortunately it dried over night and everything seems OK. Maybe instead of spraying the screen I should have used a cotton swab or tissue to apply the wet solution?
Lesson learned and I won't be doing that again!

As scary as that may seem, it has been common to get condensation under the camera lens. I haven't seen anyone report a permanent issue from it. The condensation can happen just by walking from a cool, dry environment to a hot and humid environment or if you sweat a lot.

I only sprayed the screen protector and not the screen, i cant even tell it's on the screen, perfect and no condesation.
Best Buy
FYI For $40 Best Buy offers scratch protection insurance
Amazon had several types of screen protectors for the gear just not sure how well they stay on.

Can't show you... tried my best to scratch it but to no avail. Dropped it from 3m (10ft) right onto asphalt with glass first... Only a small mark on the edge not visible only by running a nail on the edge can you feel it.
I plan on doing this. I'll start out with a wet sandpaper 800 then move on to 2k dry. Any thoughts?
Have you considered just using extra-fine steel wool (0000) or a Scotch-Brite pad?
Yes I considered the first option, but I haven't seen the results of it. Have you tried using it before?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I've used scotch brite pads before on plastic. Seemed to be a lot less work than wet sanding.
