I heard that you can use clear packing tape (those really clear ones) as a screen protector on any gadget. So, I wanted to use the tape instead of buying a piece of plastic for $10. But, I'm not sure if it leaves that sticky residue behind. So, does it leave the residue behind? Thanks!


Answer
I'm pretty sure packing tape will leave residue on anything. Personally, I wouldn't even THINK about slathering my monitor in tape. I'd much, MUCH rather go buy a screen cover or some sort.

What is the best thing to clean a Kindle Fire with?

Recently, I bought a Kindle Fire for my daughter for Christmas. I'm looking into buying screen protectors for it but until then what is the best thing to clean it with. We have been using Windex and paper towels. So, what is the best thing to get rid of those little smudge marks when they get out of control?


Answer
Do NOT use either Windex or paper towels! Windex contains alcohol, which will make the screen turn brittle over time. Paper towels are harsh, and can scratch the screen. Use a microfiber cloth like the ones that are for cleaning eyeglasses or dusting, and only slightly dampen with water, preferably distilled water so there are no impurities. If that isn't enough, use a solution of half regular vinegar with the water - vinegar dissolves the oil of fingerprints.
There is no need for a screen protector for the newest gadgets. The surface is harder than it used to be, protecting it from scratches. Eventually those screen protectors develop bubbles no matter how carefully you apply them, making the device harder to read.
I read about it at www.komando.com yesterday, but the reference page is only for paid members of the site - sorry.
