Question Cleaning the Back of the Kindle Fire(?)

After just two days of Fire ownership, I'm noticing a lot of smearing on the back surface. I don't see any cleaning information in the User's Guide or on the product page, so thought I'd see if anyone here has any suggestions for, or experience with, cleaning this type of material, particularly with water or other liquids. Rubbing it with a dry T-shirt helped some, but not completely. Thanks.

I'll give that a shot; thanks. I didn't even think of having to worry about prints, etc., on the back, and my cover is delayed until Monday. Guess I need to grasp it more by the edges in the meantime...

people tend to think about the front of the device more than the back...but i've found the back tends to take more damage over time (the back isn't protected by gorilla glass). I usually get a case primarily to protect the back.

A very damp microfiber cloth is what I use. Just a little water goes a long way.

yup it works fine to get the gunk off of it, but it does leave a light streak. I don't mind since I am not seeing it while I read.
