I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have an anti-static work mat when working with iPods/iPhones, etc. I've been repairing systems, networking, etc since 1988 or so and never really had to have a mat.
When I started working on iPods in 7/2011, I had a few that when squirrel'y especially when I would swap everything over to to a new case / backplate, simply for no reason. I spent about $20 on some large anti-static mats and haven't had any issues (especially weird issues like after replacing the LCD then the systemlogic board overheats for no reason, etc).

I've seen tons of posts related to little 'weird' things going on after a simple repair, thought I would toss this out here.
