Does anyone know how to replace the entire metal case?
I dropped my iPod a few days ago and am wondering if it is possible to replace the metal case completely.
Is this a good question?

Yes. The back metal housing can be purchased cheaply.
However, unless you have the proper equipment and know-how, I wouldn't recommend doing this. It requires knowing how to completely disassemble the device, de-soldering, soldering, transfer of parts from the old device to the new housing, etc.
It can be done, but I stress, unless you really have solid soldering skills and a lot of patience, accept the fact that you can "trash" the device with even the slightest mistake.

Where can you get this part? My search for it was unsuccessful.
I get them wholesale. You can contact me at (850) 849.1234 on Monday / afternoon and I can give you a quote on parts. I might have one or two in stock.
