Default Best method to keep a G1S clean? Also, anyone get scratches?

Hello,

What is the best method for removing the fingerprints on my G1S and has anyone also recieved very small scratches (you have to hold it to the light) on the top of theirs from the backpack that comes with it?

Please refrain from sarcastic comments.

Thanks,
-Jere

you mean on the palm rest below the keyboard? use a microfibre cloth
The scratch on the palm rest? maybe they are created accidentally when you clean the palm rest with the wrong material

Yeah the Asus G1S does seem to get scratches easily. My didn't come with a bag but the bag i use still leaves lots of really thin but noticable scratches. To keep mine clean I just wipe it down with monitor wipes and vacum all the stuff that gets stuck in the keybaord or other small areas.

Nope, it's small scratches on the top of the laptop itself.

I got scratches on my G1S both on the lid and the palm rest area. They were there since day one. I checked everything on my laptop as soon as I got it.

I clean my screen with "laptop-clene" (Wet & Dry screen wipes) and after i cleaned my screen I use those same wipes to clean the rest of my laptop (goes well)
And i also got little scratches on the top of my G1S (what do you want? It's black, that's logical )

I put this on my G1S

http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/ASUSG1.html

Covers the top from scratches. Also covers the wrist pad which eliminates the fingerprints...

The fit was pretty good. Best advice is to take your time... The top piece is the hardest. Mine ended up flipping on itself and it totally sucked trying to unstick them...

FYI, everything on their site is half off right now for CES...

http://www.zagg.com/showspecial

Price is already reflected when you bring it up... I believe it's valid for 1 week after CES...

Thanks for the heads-up on the sale on the "InvisibleShield" . I ordered one for my G1S a few mintutes ago. I am very anal about fingerprints. For example I have left the plastic that came on the top of the G1S on it since I got it back in November. I also use an external keyboard and mouse as well. Got to make this baby look new as long as possible.

Get the OptiMist Prime spray (for your screen) and keyboard cover microfiber from http://www.shaggymac.com/. That stuff works like magic.
