Well, as I had AppleCare Plus I was able to successfully exchange my iPhone 4S with the worn out sleep/wake switch for a new one. Since I'd backed up to the Cloud everything came back. That is except for my BookShare books, but fortunately the BookShare website has a History of the books you've downloaded so I just re-downloaded them again. So I guess the lesson is to have AppleCare plus so that your phone is in warrenty for the full 2 years. Katey
