1.Clear Packing Tape Screen Protector
Measure you iPhone screen and cut a piece of clear packing tape to the same size, adding an inch to the height. Dip the tape into a bowl of slightly soapy water. After a few seconds, place a drop of water on your screen and apply the tape, holding it by the extra inch, to the screen. Use a credit card to squeegie out the bubbles. Cut off the extra inch, and you've got yourself a screen protector.

4.Paper Clip Stand
Need to prop your iPhone up right away? Grab a large paperclip and uncurl it. Reposition the clip to hold you phone up. It works very well, and is quick and easy. No having to use tools, or bother propping it against something, only to have it fall over. Great for taking selfies.
5.Homemade Stylus
Here's a great one if you like using a stylus for your iPhone. Remove the ink cylinder and pen point from a pen and squeeze a piece of sponge into the point hole. This should work on your touchscreen just like a stylus, and if you use conductive foam, instead of a sponge, it will work all the much better.
6.Red Bull Interference Shield
