Help needed! iPhone got gum all over it

Any tips on how to clean this? There is some gum residue also on the back of the phone. Had gum in my shirt pocket and didn't even know it 😟

I work with paint, tape, anything like that --

Yes, Goo Gone is the only true way to get out gum.

I would highly recommend that you spray it into a cloth or paper towel (folded to make it thicker) -- not too much -- and then slowly, with multiple coats, get out the gum.

Definately do not spray directly onto the iPhone. It looks like Windex or Mr. Clean, but there is something bizarrely slimy in Goo Gone!

I'm especially enthusiastic because today i got out a piece of gum on pants that I haven't worn for months because of the gum.

Throw your gum in the trash can people!
