I used the pin method and there is a noticable improvement in the volume. The speaker is recessed inside the phone pretty far and unless your sticking an entire sewing needle into it you will not hit the speaker. I used a staple and inserted the end in about 1/8th of an inch. Some of the "holes" on the speaker cover are not open all the way through so although you see like 10 holes, there are really only 4 or 5 that you can push the pin through.
