Before diving into the sticky stuff, let’s make sure the front panel and rear case are squeaky clean for a perfect bond. Grab your trusty spudger and gently scrape away any stubborn remnants of old adhesive. Then, with a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol or Goof Off, wipe down all the surfaces that need to stick together.

– Grab that home button like a pro with a trusty pair of tweezers!
– Now, gently lower that button into the cozy round spot at the bottom of the front panel. It’s like tucking it into bed!
