    ive got a cf-19. i was out in hong kong a few weeks ago and took the TB with me to use the wi-fi connection (theres alot out there).

    any way one day it started raining and i though id test out the waterproof claims. and it was only a light drizzle (the equivilent to a bad day in england) and it held up fine.

    the only problem was that afterwards it left a lot of water marks on the screen. although its not a massive problem when the screen is bright in some conditions its still quite noticeable. i dont know if theres something about the rain out there but ive tried rubbing it with the blue cloth that comes with the TB (no fluids) but its wont go??

    what can i use to try and get rid of the marks. i assuming these marks arent inside the screen though, unless it could be condensation inside. but its smeared from where i wiped it a few times.

    thanks

    You never want to wipe the screen dry. You can spray a little water on there and then wipe with either a soft cotton or CLEAN microfiber cloth. That should do it.

    I actually use a mixture of 95% water, 5% Isopropyl alcohol (the 91% strength) and a few drops of soap. This solution cleans a myriad of things! For basic cleaning I up the ratio of alcohol to 10% - 15% but only use that on exterior cleaning...
