They should be more convenient for getting the aluminium casing off than a credit card I don't really have any experience fixing phones (or anything else for that matter), but I recon repairing the button should be one of the easiest things to repair on the phone.

Hy there!
Did you manage to get it repaired?
Where can I find instructions on how to open the iPhone (mine is 16GB)?

Thanks in advance,
Bonny
