	[* black] Gently insert an iPod opening tool between the glass front panel and its plastic surround near the volume control buttons.
	[* black] Rotate the tool away from the Touch to pry up on the glass panel.
	[* icon_note] The key is to work slowly and gently to avoid breaking internal components.
	[* icon_note] If you are having difficulties using a plastic opening tool. You could try a razor blade, we found it easier to release the clips with one. Please be *extremely* careful if you take this route!
+	[* black] *WARNING:* As you can see in one of the pictures the glass has a plastic frame on the bottom side which connects it to the metal case. If you insert the opening tool between the glass and the rubber band and try to pry the device open you will almost certainly break the frame. The right place to insert the opening tool is between the rubber band and the metal case. A better way to open the case is to attach a suction cup to the glass and pull gently while trying to disconnect the metal holders from the plastic frame by pushing a flat tool between those holders and the plastic frame.
