I used to regularly clean/disinfect my old phone with Clorox or Lysol wipes. However, the phone wasn't a touch screen. Would doing this with the Incredible damage the screen in any way? If so, how about with a screen protector (such as the Steinheil CC) on?
 
No amonia or bleach based products should be used. The amonia/bleach can actually damage the finish on the screen. (This is true for LCD monitors too.) Best to use an eyeglasses cleaner or just a slightly damp cloth or papertowel.
 
I agree with the above suggestions. In addition, I think iKlear products work fantastic. A bottle of iKlear will last me almost a year before I have to buy a new one. The travel singles are also great.

Or a tee shirt...

I don't lend my phone out much. I'm not worried about cooties...
 
I use them all the time on bare phone...never had a problem...just squeeze out as much of the juice as you can before you wipe down your phone and use a clean dry cloth to wipe it down immediately after.
 
I buy a box of alcohol swabs (the kind used to clean cuts and scrapes) and use those to clean my phone. Alcohol dries almost immediately and is great for cleaning greasy fingerprints and stuff off my phone. You can keep a few in the car, desk drawer, etc.
 
I have an electronics spray that came with my LCD TV...that works really well on touch-screen phones and won't damage the screen.
