OCD? Scared of pressing home button with dirty hands?

I'm a locksmith. I have dirty hands all day minus the few times a day I get to really wash them well and outside of work. I know how it is. I either use my otterbox defender or the assistive touch button.
That's what I do as well when I don't want to touch the physical buttons with dirty hands.
Is your iPhone new? Because if it is, you just wait a while - Come back in a few months and you'll be like "Haha I press my home button with all sorts of **** on my hands now and I don't even care!
"yea its the iphone 5. idk they wont look dirty but ill think they feel dirty and particles can get there lol.
It's not actual button. It's the part where dust can get in. The small opening that lets it click
I get that, however a sticker on the home button may help keep the dirt out, if you're THAT worried/OCD.
Stop worrying and enjoy your phone. Yes it's a work of art in more ways than not, but it's meant to be utilised more than glorified. It's ok to get it a little dirty, and if it really bothers you you can open it and remove it after a while.
Given the OCD you have to define dirty. If It's mud that would be a problem. If you wash your hands 20 times a day not so much.
wear gloves? what the hell i dont know what to tell you, keep your hands clean?
This.
It's really not that hard. If I'm getting my hands dirty, I always wash my hands before I pick up my phone.
I never touch any of my Apple devices with extremely dirty hands (after eating, greasy hands, dirt, etc.) unless I absolutely have to (ie. my hands are greasy, phone is on lap and I have to get up to wash my hands).
Not OCD, just taking great care of a great product that you invested a lot in.
OT: Not worth going into the details, but if people are going throw around behavioral terms the OP is anal retentive, not OCD.
