This enlarged screen-grab does full justice to the Nu-Screen's infomercial-inspired product page
My iPad screen is a filthy, greasy mess. No matter how often I clean it with a microfiber cloth, within a few touches I have soiled it again.
It?s not that I have particularly oily fingers. It?s just that the iPad?s screen seems to be oleophilic, slurping the grease from my digital pores and slathering them over the screen like a redhead slaps on the sun lotion. I have gotten used to it, and barely see the dirty streaks when the screen is lit. But it causes me great embarrassment when somebody else flips open the cover and is confronted with something that would make an English pub toilet look clean. Clearly I need to do something.
And whatever I settle on, that something won?t be the Nu-Screen HD, a $20 blob of wax squeezed into a ChapStick tube. This magical unguent is rubbed onto the problem screen (iPad, iPhone, or any touch-screen device) whereupon it magically stops scummy smears from forming. It leaves a ?slippery smooth, non-greasy, shiny surface? that stops you smudging the screen, no matter how dirty you are.
The magic ingredient here is carnauba wax (which is, I believe, what M&Ms are made of). It also contains various other oils and waxes, along with cetyl stearyl alcohol. Alcohol and grease, in other words, which is pretty much what my diet consists of anyway, making the Nu-Screen HD double as a tasty snack.
If this works, I?m guessing that other waxes would also work, too, and not come in a tiny $20 package. If anyone has tried this out, or wishes to point me to a place where I can test it, I?m game. Otherwise, I?ll stick to my current solution: wiping the screen clean with my novelty, microfiber nerd?s necktie.
