| [* black] Now it's time to insert your prying tool. I'm not an expert here, but it works pretty much the same way it does for iPods. Only here there are just a few brackets and they are fairly sturdy, so they won't break very easily. If you have any doubts about techneque, check out an iPod guide such as [guide|610|this one]. | |

| + | [* icon_caution] Know this: during the opening process, you WILL chip little flecks of paint off of the back cover. It is virtually unavoidable. |
| [* red] Before you begin, take note the locations of the 5 brackets that are on the inside of the device, which I have marked here. | |
| [* black] I suggest starting on the side with the headphone jack. Start by inserting one tool just under a centimeter from the bottom end. Gently wiggle and slide the pic up toward the hold switch. In the process, you should hear two soft clicks. Once you've wiggled yourself a gap, swap it for a placeholder (I used a thin metal pic to pry, and a cheap plastic to hold it open). | |
| [* black] Then move your primary tool to the opposite side of the device and repeat; Only this time, start toward the top and work your way down. You will likely hear two more clicks. From here you should have a considerable gap from one side - through the bottom - and to the other. | |
| [* black] Leave your placeholder where it is and begin prying on the top edge. This should lead to the fifth and final click. |
