What do you use to clean your enV Touch's camera lens? I used a monitor wipe and made sure it didn't streak. It seemed to do the job to at least remove the dust. I'm looking for some "Best Practices" recommendations.  |

I am not sure about the "best practices" but for every camera phone I have had, I have always just used lens cleaner and my glasses cloth.

Oh OK, so a dedicated lens cleaner. I have a microfiber cloth, so I wonder if I just damp it w/ some water, if that'll do the job. |

You may gets some streaks with water, but you can try it. But NEVER use a dry cloth on your lens.

Good advice about not using a dry cloth. I assume that's b/c it'd cause lint/dust to cloud the lens. Thanks. |

That and using a dry cloth is more likely to scratch.

Yeah, although you would hope a good microfiber cloth would not cause any scratching. Using another dry cloth, like cotton, paper towel, etc. would more likely scratch up something as delicate as a lens, right?

So wiping it on your jeans isn't a good idea?  The lens is behind the glass/plastic that you see on the body of the Touch. Right? Whatever it is we are seeing should be pretty scratch resistant since it's always in a pocket, purse or just in general vulnerable. Plus who has glass cleaner and microfiber in their pocket all the time? Women glasses wears are excluded from that comment since its a high probability they carry it in their purses. My last phone (LG8700) never had a scratch as far as I could see and it lived in my pocket for years. Hopefully LG put some thought into this. Now my physical camera on the other hand......care is used when cleaning as it is the actual lens. |

Not that you'd carry it with you, but one of those camera lens blower/brush combos would be nice once in a while.

You would hope, but it goes with the same rule as you don't rub a dry rag on your car (it causes tiny scratches so you are more susceptible to rust or peeling) so you wouldn't do it to your lens. |

A very tightly woven microfiber cloth is best, or the cloths that you get when purchasing a Samsung Flat Panel TV. I clean my phone every night with a microfiber just to keep it in tip top shape.

I use a cleaning cloth designed for cleaning camera lens. You can buy ones that are meant to be used dry.
