You know, Solon, I used to think so. But I've been using rubbing alcohol for years and I haven't had that happen yet to any of my devices. I don't know what 90% rubbing alcohol would do to them though, which is why I specified 70%. I didn't say but I do specifically use isopropyl.

While I've never known it to damage any screens I've used it on, it is fairly effective at dissolving oils. Yes, like the oil in one's fingertips but also for things like urushiol oil (poison ivy, etc.). I'm badly allergic to urushiol oil so anytime I even think I've come into direct contact with it, I use the rubbing alcohol spray bottle within 30 mins after exposure, if not immediately after, followed by antibacterial soap and water, and it prevents the rash.
