Phone creaking? Annoying the sh!t out of you? Problem solved!

[Part Four]

Here's a quick and easy fix: Buy this:

and get a cotton swab. Soak the tip in the dry lube. Then rub the tip where I've shown in this picture:

Phone feels brand new.

Soak the cotton swab, but where to wet?

Take a look at the picture of the inside case. Everywhere on the bottom, basically. Might be tough to see, but everywhere that it looks a little white/foggy/shiny.

Or tape the corners of the phone with any normal tape.

No offense, but that's cheap and tacky, somewhat invasive, and won't last long before it has to be replaced. This method is simple and gets more to the root of the problem. Squeaking plastic rubbing together.

People using tape must not swap batteries often. Tape? Just lube your **** and move on!

I have three spare batteries. I don't like charging my phone or being dependent upon access to a charger all of the time. I keep my spare batteries on hand so that I can pop in a fully charged one when I'm out of juice.

This works great. Bought some DuPont Teflon spray (PTFE is a generic name for Teflon). Did as OP instructed and now no more creaking.

Or just buy a nice silicon gel case

which also helps prevent damage from accidentally dropping it as well. I have never heard a single creak yet.

Nice guide will give this a try. Until now i just some paper to prevent creaking.
