Any tips on how to safely clean this gum residue??
Where'd you buy it?
And please use tIMG tags!

I'd suggest rubbing alchohol on a q-tip.
I can not be held liable for any damages done to your iPhone by following my suggestion.

No joke, the stuff works. I'd use a needle to scrape the gum out of the screw hole after you put a little bit of Goo Gone in their with a Q-Tip or something. 😀

Just be careful as it might damage the glossy finish.
I would have said acetone, but that would really destroy the plastic.

I wouldn't use Goo Gone more than once; it degrades plastic over time.
Isopropyl alcohol next time. It will take longer, but it's long-term better on the plastic.
lol i got "goo" on my coffee table and my mom used googone on it and it took off all the layers of stain and varnish, ruining my table.
i would of had to restain my entire living room table sets to fix it and um.... i fixed it with covering the table with a doiley or however its spelled lol.
glad it worked for you though.
