The iPad’s screen is made out of glass but it has a special oleophobic coating in order to protect it from fingerprints. Officially, it means that it’s oil resistant. It is important to take good care of the screen to get the most out of the coating. Here are some ways to protect your iPad screen.

• Don’t drop it on hard surfaces. It is glass and it can break.
• Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Clean your screen daily in order to make sure the lingering smudges don’t wear on the coating.
• Do not clean it with window cleaners, glass cleaners, aerosol sprays, abrasives, or alcohol
