• Opening the case is a tough and potentially dangerous task. A good amount of force is required to wedge the plastic opening tool in between the case seams. The case may be damaged if this step is not done properly. Make sure not to hurt yourself while opening your iPod.
• Insert the small plastic opening tool into the seam in between plastic display panel and the metal back panel. The angled edge should point towards the metal back panel.
• Hold the tool in place once it is wedged inside and the two panels are separated.

• Gently enlarge the existing crevice by wiggling the large opening tool and moving it to the right.
• Continue doing so until the right side of the iPod is loose.
