We are usually able to get all parts off without ruining or breaking any of the parts. The only questionable part,whether you're heating or stripping the parts off, is the plastic buttons.

who is the "we" u are refering to

This is really dangerous if your not careful, like earlier they said that that you can get Colorware to do it, in my opinion that costs too much 99 $

Not sure if you saw my question earlier...Any issues with the stripper you used on the plastic buttons of the iphone? I've found leaving them most solutions for any period of time tends to ruin them.
