Qmadix Rolls Out Cleaning System with Foam Cleaner

Posted: 25 Aug 2011 11:39 AM PDT

I have tried out several different cleaning kits and other items to get the smudges and smears off the screen of my iPhone and iPad. Many of them have a microfiber cloth and then a spray solution. I know you can spray directly on the cloth ideally, but lots of people (like my wife and kids) spray the screen directly. I don't like that because I fear the liquid will get into the gaps and break something.
