Hands-On: Degrease Your iPad with the LensPen SideKick [Macworld 2011]

I realize a lot of people don’t care about how nasty their iPhone or iPad screens get—but I do—and I know I’m not alone.

Well those of us who like to keep a clean screen have a nifty new tool at our disposal: it’s called the Sidekick, and from what I saw, it works great. Peep the video to see how it works.

    I have a nifty tool tool, it’s called a cloth.

    I like using micro fiber detailing cloths, they be cheap and surprise they be washable.

    Nice recurring business for the company selling replaceable “heads”, but talk about a product that simply is not necessary – just use a cloth! $19.95 plus a new head every month or 2 and more damage to the environment from all these disposable carbon heads? No thanks.

    i have to agree with ryan. a cloth works just fine. why do we need to promote more disposable plastic products to pollute the oceans and add to landfills?

    of course, with the amount of fingerprint oil you get on a touch screen you’d have to carry around like 5 cloths every day and wash them every night in order to keep the screen clean, whereas I guess you could carry around this one cleaning tool forever and keep a spare pad handy.

    yeah a nice microfiber cloth would work well too, i use those currently but they get dirty really fast and then leave oil behind

    I’m not a big fan of wal-mart but you can get Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 15-Pack for $9.95
    We leave them in all our carry bags, in the cars around the house. Throw them in the washer, wipe and repeat.
