I accidentally spilled a drop of coffee on my iPhone 3GS screen. it was just a drop on the right edge of the screen. I wiped it off immediately, and the phone seems to be working just fine. Was just wondering if there's anything else i should check or do?

Cheers

Depending on your phone, it might want some cream and sugar with it

It will be completely fine. The whole front of the phone is a glass face without seams apart from the gap between the glass and home button and the edge and plastic. No coffee could have gotten in.

It was on the right-edge of the screen, like on the area between the metal band and the screen.

It'll still be fine. The only way to get something underneath that is if you use a hot blow dryer to heat up the adhesive around the edges and pry it off. A tiny bit of coffee can't make it through. Submerging the phone in coffee probably wouldn't break that seal.

You could put it into a sealed box of dry rice for a few days if you want to be really sure.
