Can i take the back off of my iphone and put it in rice?

I dropped my iphone in the toilet yesterday. I'm pretty sure its done for but to be sure i want to leave it in rice as long as possible. And see if it works again.
Is it okay to take the back off and put it in rice. Or will it get in little parts of the phone and cause further damage?

You can try taking it off very carefully, but it would probably still work if you just it it in ric, e to be safe wait a week instead of three days.
Make sure to put the rice in a different container than the rice you eat all the germs from the toilet will be absorbed into the rice.

That usually doesn't work. Btw you can't take your phone back off if it's a real iPhone. The rice thing is more effective on android devices.
