I'm still waiting for my Xoom to arrive. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll have it. In the meantime, I'm preparing myself for my new "toy". I already ordered a case, but, could anybody recommend me a screen cleaner? As far as I know, the Xoom screen is a fingerprint magnet, so I'll probably need one.

All the best,

John.

Yep. Micro fiber cloths work great, and usually I don't even have to fog up the screen with breath. Just wipe off the fingerprints. (and, boy, does the XOOM get the fingerprints! Screen AND back.)

Since I wear glasses, I have two or three lying around from when I bought new specs, and one in the leather case I carry my XOOM in. You could probably go down to your local eye clinic and grab a few.

I went and bought that. I keep one in my sleeve for my Xoom. I also gave one to my girlfriend since I bought her a Xoom as well. They work very well. Couple swipes and screen is clean again.

I was using my microfiber cloth that came with my Nexus One, but its too small to handle the Xoom screen.

I strongly believe phones with touch screens should, out the box, from the manufacturer, come with a sleeve and cleaning cloth. Both my G1 and N1 did. We pay good money, throw some extra goodies in. Even the Xoom box looks like a kids puzzle box.

Good practice at keeping the prints low is to wash your hands often. Don't touch your face or hair.

I use these disposable dry wipes my wife found at one of the office supply stores. They lift the grease off better than any microfiber I have ever used.
I've got a box of those at work, but I like microfiber better, myself.

My wife managed to find a small 10-pack labeled especially for touchscreens (pic attached.)
I've never tried their microfiber, but I'd assume they'd be quite good.

I've been using the polishing cloth that came with an Apple cleaning kit I bought a couple of years ago for my laptop. I'm using the micro chamois, and only the micro chamois. I am not using either the wet wipe or the dry wipe in the kit. It's from a company called iKlear. I'm impressed enough to order a couple of them from Amazon right now actually. It does a bang up job of cleaning fingerprints etc.

How about a product called invisible glass? I've used it on my cars and it's been nothing but great and wondering how it would do with the Xoom's screen. I own the invisible glass problem is I don't own the Xoom yet to test it out:)

I've tried all of the best buy/electronics cleaners but...I find that this Dust Off brand LCD and plasma screen spray works really well...its just a little can and 1 or 2 sprays is plenty...and honestly the best cloth that I've found is just one of the micro fiber clothw from the automotive section at Walmart....its like $5 for a big package of 10 cloths and they're plenty big for the Xoom's screen size....they never cause any scratches on the screen or leave lint...they've worked the best outta all the rest for me and they're micro fiber and cheap....can't go wrong!

Just my opinion haha

+1 for the shirt. I tried some screen cleaner wipes in little packets, for travel convenience. They left too much liquid on the screen and didn't work well. I've used the microfiber cloth that came with the Xoom or with some glasses I've got. But, after many months with my Xoom, I'm just using my shirt sleeve (when wearing long sleeves) now. I've learned not to fear scratches and I've been pretty happy with my shirt since...

I have been using a product called Brillianize from Kleenmaster. I use this on all my tablets and phones with screen protectors and without. You just spray a little on the screen and wipe it over the entire surface and buff it off. Best product out there IMHO.
