I have these little screen cleaners for my Ipad 2 and they are wonderful. I don't care for the film type screen covers, and I have a thing about fingerprints all over my screen. So, I just grab one of these pads (comes in a handy 3 pack)and in 4 long swipes my screen in perfectly clear. No scratches, no residue. I love them. I keep one at work, one in my Ipad bag, and one on my nightstand. (Before I got these, I was using a lint free cloth, but I had to keep rubbing to get all the fingerprints off). By the way, they costs less at Best Buy.

This review is from: Targus CleanVu Cleaning Pads for Apple iPad, iPad 2, iPhone, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy, BlackBerry Playbook TXA00212US (Personal Computers)

Since the description of this product lists the iPhone as a cleaning option, I was eager to try it. I have some specialized cleaning clothes from the eye doctor that do a pretty good job of cleaning my iPhone screen, but nothing else I've tried works very well or at all (just smears the finger prints around). Even the little glasses cleaning cloths require some effort to get the phone screen clean.

I must say the soft suede-like surface of this pad works really well, doing a quick and thorough job, BUT it is too wide for the iPhone screen if you have a surround case like I do. You can use the edge of the pad, or bend it so that only a portion of it is against the screen. The pad doesn't want to bend as it's rather stiff leather, but it will bend (in one direction) and then does a great job although it's a bit awkward to hold in that position and of course the finger straps can't be used. I'm not entirely satisfied with this solution as you can imagine, but am pleased to have a clean screen.

For a tablet such as an iPad it would be outstanding, and it works well for my computer screen in its natural flat shape.

You get three pads to a pack which is nice and I will certainly use this product even though I have to bend it for my phone screen. Note to manufacturer: Please make a version that fits the touch phone screens when they are in a case since so many of us use them to protect our phones. This is an effective method of cleaning and highly recommended for tablets and larger screens. It can be used with smaller screens, but will require extra effort if that screen has a raised edge due to design or case.

Love this handy little tool. Didn't realize when I bought it that it was a three-pack. Looked at similar items in big box stores but they were twice as expensive.
