This is my new toy and I'm very paranoid to scratch the screen. So does anybody have any secrets to clean the screen? Thanks!

screen protector
Most popular around here are...

I think
Also, use smooth cloth (which I don't do), I've heard using the windshield waxing stuff helps keep the screen pristine too.

Lenscrafters Lens Towelettes work great! When I break open one I get a lot of milage out of it as I clean my glasses, PDA, and then wipe my monitor screen last! By that time it's dried up! ;)

Great idea wellsjs. . .since I never wear my glasses.....I have a whole bottle of that stuff from DOC still. Also, thanks for the links, bought some screen protectors today.

I use a Memorex blue computer cleaner cloth. Works great on my NX80V...anti-static as well.

I have used Rain X on all my pda screens in the past, even the plastics ones. It cleans and leave a nice slick surface.

I suggest first blow off the dust (with compressed air for example) and than use micro optic cleaner (your photo-store should have those) and nothing else.
Any spray or cleaner might damage the surface, so simply do not use them.

Whoa? RainX? I really wouldn't suggest that at all. I remember my brother used that to clean his interior Rear window, and man it was just WACK! haha I mean it clean the window like a champ, but the leftover resizadue was very unkind to the eyes haha.
In my area there is a new 99cent store, and they now carry tons of visor/vx cases, screenprotectors, and stylus. But the screensize differs a bit.
Just used the eyeglass wipe like the last user mentioned.

My newest discovery is microfiber cloths. They sell them for eyeglasses and towels. Grabs all the gunk off the screen (like skin oil) very well. I got mine at Costco in the Auto Towel area. They're yellow and were reasonably priced. Great for dusting, too (though not with the same cloth you use on your clie, of course).

Agree with spiral and freecia:
1) screen protector
2) cleaning cloth (I have one from 3M)

Another name for you microfiber cloths is - like i mentioned above - micro optic cleaner.
But remember, first clear off the dust (with compressed air for example) cause even with those microfiber cloths dust can lead to scratches on the surface.

I would guess car glass is quite different to PDA-glass, so I wouldn't use it.
