I live in Manhattan, where no matter how often you clean, there is a lot of dust. When I bought the case, I thought the front filter was removable and easy to clean. Unfortunately, it is not.

Has anyone come up with a solution for the front filter that solves the dust problem? It's a great case, but considering they thought to put in other removable filters, it seems like poor planning to have overlooked the front fan.
 
I'd buy Demciflex (200mm - 300mm) round or square filter to place at the face of the case.

I have Corsair 760T case and also the Demciflex filter kit for it to keep my case clean from dust.
From here (3rd pic) you can see that i have Demciflex filter placed over front stock filter: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3272328/show-newest-system-upgrade-components.html#19158458
 
I'd say just remove the front panel and wash it with water. The flow of water would have to be opposite to the intake of the air, so just run the water through the inside flowing out. I own the case and there appears to be no hardware attached to the front panel, so just run water over it, let it dry, and put it back on!
