I think the Samsung gear vr is a great piece of kit the only thing that bugs me is the lenses every time I use the vr there is allways a bit of dust or a mark on the lens even after I clean them
Is there a better way to clean them or is this just a common problem

I tried "Clarity Defog It" dry wipes last night and have been very happy with it so far.

Website is here. I got 3-pack of dry wipes. Carmack tweeted that this is what he uses, so it seems like a winner. 🙂

I just use the cloth that came with it. Like a camera lens you can't stop dust.

I just got those in the mail today. Any suggestions on a better way to store them once you have opened the package? Says 10 uses per wipe bit I'm hesitant to put them back in the same pouch I just tore open.

Unfortuneatly there are 3 possible places for disturbing smudges and dust in your view and that is the lenses facing your eyes, the Note 4 display and the back of the lenses facing the Note 4. I clean the display of the phone everytime i put it in Gear VR, then once or twice a day the lenses facing my eyes and once in a few days also the back of the lenses.

I have ordered watch protectors in 36mm seize for the lenses, to see if they will help with Fog, smudges and maybe even improve the screendooreffect.

Can you link the watch protectors you ordered? I might give that a try as well.

I ordered them from Amazon.de, so probably no help for you, but when you search for "watch protectors 36mm" you should find some aswell.

Here are mine anyway, i ordered both to see if there is a difference between clear and matt.

Sorry for muddling the thread a bit -- I had a skim-fail when reading the first post and thought it was about fogged lenses! :oops:

The packets just say to "keep stored in pouch" -- the one that you just ripped open, so that's what I'm doing. No idea if that impacts the ability to use the same wipe in a couple weeks.
