Has the oleophobic coating worn away on anyone else's phone? My screen was amazingly resistant to prints but now, less than 3 months later, it's worn off, shows prints and dirt like crazy.

BTW, what the hell is Tapatalk?

It's an app for reading/posting on blog forums. It's pretty nice. Works on many sites other than AC.

Mine has worn off as well... makes me wonder about the cleaning cloths I was using to wipe it clean.

I've had my MXPE since December and while it seems to get smudged easier a simple swipe on the fabric of my shirt or pants (once or twice a day) leaves it spotless.

I started this thread and like others the coating was short lived. Fingerprints are now the norm. Too bad!

It certainly seems to show more fingerprints, now, after 6 months but it still cleans up with a simple wipe on my shirt.

What did you use to clean/wipe the screen?

More often then not, a cheap micro-fiber rag from Harbor Freight. I would often breath a "huuufff" on it first as well.

Mostly lens cleaning cloths that come with eyeglasses. Apparently I have "acidic" fingers, according to what I found online.

Interesting, can you link what you found online?

True, thanks...

My local savings & loan has a table full of advertising giveaway items just beside the teller windows and one of them is a microfiber eyeglass cloth. I snag one every time I'm in there.
