How to clean your phone screen and camera lens
This is an interesting subject. Many times I have read to not use wet-wipes or other wet cleaners on a phone screen. For example, here:
There are other similar articles. There was a link I came across
awhile back, that claimed that alcohol or any wet cleaner fluid,
can seep in the edges of a LCD screen and eventually ruin it --
can't find that link now.
However, these links explain that use of some types of wet cleaners is OK:

There is another link, that says do not use ethyl alcohol, use isopropyl alcohol (70%), as the latter is less damaging to the oleophobic layer on the phone screen:

So, what to buy? There are lots of products, but I have ordered these:
MERRY'S Lens Cleaning Wipes Cleaning for Glasses Lenses
Sunglasses Camera Lenses Cell Phone Laptop Lens Clothes 100ct

100pcs / lot Swap Prep Pad Wet Wipe Alcohol Wipe for Antiseptic
Clean Skin Care Jewelry Cell Phone Clean:

So, perhaps the Merry's lens wipes for the camera lens, and the
alcohol wipes for the phone screen? The Merry's wipes have
isopropyl alcohol and benzethonium chloride -- the latter is an
antiseptic, but how will that affect a phone screen?
