	Opening the iPod can be challenging. Don't get discouraged if it takes you a few tries before the iPod is opened. Insert a plastic iPod opening tool in the seam between the white plastic front and metal back of the iPod. Once you've inserted the tool, run it along the seam to free the five tabs holding the iPod together.
	Continue to run the opening tool along the side of the case until all five tabs have been released.
