Well, I personally recommend the wipes because after I use them on the iPhone, they make my iPhone feel like it just came out of the Apple packaging. Believe me, Christopher, I do have my reasons for recommending it. It sucks to read messages like how it's weird we are having problems with our iPhones when you don’t have any. And hey, don't waste your time on those wipes, either.

Just, if you use one, make sure you only do it on your finger. Don't do it on the home button itself. Especially not if the type you're using has lotion or aloe etc. in it, as that most likely will make it worse.
