I'm noticing 3 faint horizontal stripes across the face of the display apparently from the hinge lines of the smart cover. They do seem to wipe off, but I wonder about the long term effects.
Anyone else seeing this?
Is a microfiber cloth the best way to clean the screen?

I've noticed that too. I've been using a microfiber cloth as well to clean the screen and it's been working alright.
It's just the finger oil that was on the screen when you closed it. The stripes are from where the inside of the cover doesn't come in contact with the screen. The microfiber inside the case soaks up some of the resedue except for where the 3 seams are recessed. The screen cleans up easily with a good cloth just like it does with fingerprints.
I had a case that only had one folding seam inside the cover, and it left a similar single grease stripe.
Mareware will be shipping a nice thin microshell that covers the back and works with the Smart Covers.
In the meantime, I have simply stuck self sticking round clear tiny rubber feet that you can buy in sheets. Put one in each corner (or more) to keep the back of the iPad off the surface of tables, etc. They peel right off with no harm and look like they came on the iPad.
