Ifoam Foaming Lcd Screen Cleaner With Microfiber Cloth For Mac

Click to expand. First off, before having a knee-jerk reaction of having to buy one, pause for a second and ask yourself what REASON you have for buying one? The 'classic' reason has been, to prevent the oils (from your fingers) to transfer to the screen which can become permanent However, with the aluminum macbook, this is a COMPLETELY moot point because of the glass panel covering the lcd screen.

Cleaning it doesn't require a microfiber cloth. You are no longer cleaning an lcd screen, you're cleaning a piece of glass. It is just like a nose print on a glass window or mirror. Just wipe it off with a damp paper towel. I instead, have gotten the moshi clearguard for the purpose of preventing crumbs from getting inbetween the keys there's no need to waste money on outrageously overpriced accessories that serve no practical purpose. We already pay the apple tax for the design of hardware and software.

No need to line the pockets of the accessory makers. First off, before having a knee-jerk reaction of having to buy one, pause for a second and ask yourself what REASON you have for buying one?

Plus I don't think they're overpriced for $15, it's a nice microfiber cloth although it could be cut and made yourself for much less =) why are you getting crumbs into the keyboard in the first place lol. Do you notice the plastic over the k/b much?.edit. I just googled the moshi clearguard and man!

That looks awesome. I'm thinking about getting that now over a shaggymac lol. It looks very transparent and I guess instead of crumb worries, I can worry about spills and not getting shiny keys lol thanks for the recommendation!

Thickness - you know the length and width, but how about height? There are a lot of cloths out that claim to be microfiber but they seem like a very towel.

If it is too thick, it may not be able to close, or even worse, damage the hinge over time. If it is strong enough to have a tag sewn onto it and sustain machine washing 'time after time,' it may be on the thicker side. Serves NO purpose - so if you put a barrier between the GLASS (not the screen itself) and keyboard, the oils will remain on the keys.

By the auction's own admission, grease and oil are removed by adding a little bit of water. What makes that different from any other cloth or even a paper towel? If you leave the oils on the keyboard long enough, they might become permanent. (i say 'might' because i haven't seen keyboard wear like that since the Pismo/Lombard keyboards and it could be from oil or just plain wear and tear) In essence, you're not correcting or even avoiding the problem, you're just enabling it.

You're just putting the newspapers over the vomit/spilt milk (a la 'Big Daddy'). The keyboard cover will prevent the oils from getting on the keys in the first place. I did some research for you. Your ebay 'ultrasuede microfiber' cloth appears to be 1mm thick Source: Shaggymac's cloth appears to be 0.6mm thick Source: shaggymac's website Radtech's Screensaverz (competing product) appear to also be 0.6mm thick Source: radtech's website so it appears that your ebay cloth is almost twice as thick as the commercial products. Let us know how it turns out. If it works, then it is a great low cost alternative.

I've also seen large microfiber cloths at best buy in the computer section, but that was 3-4 years ago. 2 potential problems. Thickness - you know the length and width, but how about height?

The increased thickness could come at the expense of not being able to close properly. But, we won't find out until it comes in the mail, right?

It does not serve the purpose of keeping the screen clean. It serves the purpose of keeping the GLASS clean. My main point of contention is that because the screen is behind the glass, you don't need anything special to clean it because all you're doing is cleaning glass, not the actual screen. And you certainly don't need any special material to clean the plastic keys on the keyboard. While i recognize that having an extra layer on a keyboard is unnatural/bothersome, it prevents the problem of oil on the keys in the first place.

The moshi clearguard is supposed to be ultra thin 0.1mm, instead of silicon keyboard protectors (supposedly 0.5mm). Others have already remarked about it (the moshi) in a separate thread, so i won't clog up the forums with a new thread, but if i notice something different that I haven't already read before, i'll definitely post it when i get it.

My main point of contention is that because the screen is behind the glass, you don't need anything special to clean it because all you're doing is cleaning glass, not the actual screen. My point is that the actual LCD screen and glass covering are made of different materials. In the past, people were going to great lengths to damaging the screen, using cleaning solutions that didn't have ammonia or alcohol. Now that there is a glass panel, such care and precautions isn't as important anymore. The link i had was to the same material, specifically 'ultrasuede microfiber.'

Whether it is in a shape of a square or a dog, i believe it to be the same material. I think the material is of high quality, but the thickness could be a problem. You want to protect the glass/screen. I'm just saying that a special cloth is not necessary for glass; for a bare lcd screen, sure, but not for glass.

I use a squeegee when I wash my windshields at a gas station. I don't use a microfiber cloth because I don't need to. (an exaggerated example, but the principle is the same).
