These buttons (volume-up, center, volume-down) when pressed in certain combinations, can fairly eliminate the need to take your phone out of your pocket or bag to do regular tasks.

These button controls are very simple and easy to remember. These tricks should work on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
