I was considering it but got cold feet when I've been told that you could damage it when cleaning it. When I open/close my laptop I leave a ton of finger prints. I'm not too good with delicate hardware stuff.

I clean mine routinely and it's fine for me. I did recently start keeping a thin cleaning cloth on my keyboard for when I close it though. Oil from my fingers on the keyboard was getting on the screen.

Why are you touching the screen when you open/close your laptop??? Do you close your car doors with the window?

  • Car door windows often have a significant frame of several cm and it's still quite easy to have your fingertips touch the glass while closing it.

    On a laptop I would imagine it's actually more likely that fingertips would touch the screen while opening it.
