The disassembled shuffle.

On the left, from top to bottom: shuffle / loop and power switches; bottom and top caps and metal brackets; four Phillips #00 retaining screws.

On the right: battery and logic board; case with electronics removed.

The case appears to be one piece of molded Aluminum. It feels sturdy.
