How to get Sharpie off my iPhone 5?

Hi, so recently I got the iPhone 5. My Mum wrote my name and home phone number on the back, and I'm so angry! It took me ages to save for it, so how do I get it off? If it helps, the Sharpie is pink.

Have you tried using water carefully? If not This is what I do and it will probably work on an iPhone. J take a black expo whiteboard marker and color over it then wipe it off. The Sharpie will come off.

Haha WTF your mom must be very very old school, anyway try some comet on it with a little bit of water you don't want to brake it

It's Sharpie, right? Take some nail polish remover or a thinner on cotton and try. That will surely help. Water won't do any good, besides it might brick your phone if you do anything carelessly. You can also try alcohol. Make sure you hold the phone tilted when doing it so the liquid will just flow off the phone if not evaporated. Use small quantity.

First: soak in soap and water for approximately 20 minutes
Two: Take a Brillo pad and scrub as affectively as possibly on front and back
Three: Take a can of windex and spray into both headphone and charging jack. DO NOT wipe up the windex.
Four: Get into a voodoo circle and slip the wrist of each member.
Five: Mix the blood with a cup of horse *** to make a vibrant pink.
Six. Drink half of mixture and spit it onto the iPhone 5 like a water fountain.
Seven: The testosterone in this mixture should effectively remove the substance from the electronic that you have saved up money for.
~If this does not work then you a *** and wasted a *** load of money on a phone that will just be upgraded in the next month or a better phone will be made.~

Olivia Grace probably has the most accurate answer on removing the Sharpie. My teacher used to write on her white board with sharpie, and then traced over it with one of those dry erase markers and scrubbed it down with water, of course though you should be careful.

I wouldn't use alcohol/nail polish if its the black version of the iPhone 5, it may remove the black paint off of it, and that'll make your phone look even worse.

But look on the bright side, now no one will attempt to steal your iPhone I suppose? LOL.

Hey you can just wipe with handsanitizer

Hand Sanatizer!

  • Will sharpie be permanent on the back of my iphone 5? Like let's say I meet someone famous and they sign the back of my iphone 5 will it stay there or will it run off. If sharpie isn't permenant what pen is?
  • Why does it hurt when you put sharpie on your skin & then take a picture with flash on the iPhone? Okay, so there's this thing at my school where you do this: 1. Draw a black sharpie square on your hand 2. Take off your phone case 3. Put your phone camera directly on the skin where your sharpie mark is 4. Turn on the flash on your phone and then take a picture. It hurts and stings a little bit. It's like a small shock. Why is that?
  • Sharpie signature on iPhone 5s? A famous person signed the back of my gold iPhone 5s today and part of it has already smudged. I was thinking of getting a clear case, but what can I also use to make it permanent? I can't even touch it without worrying about rubbing it off!
  • Keep Sharpie autograph on iPhone? I recently met my absolute idol Ariana Grande. She signed the back of my iPhone 5 in Sharpie. What can I do so that it doesn't rub off when I use it or when it rains?
