That??™s just basic orienteering. If you know
where you??™re going beforehand, you minimize your chances
of getting lost.

These tools are made from plastic, which helps to prevent you from scratching
your iPod??™s case, and they??™re relatively inexpensive as far as tools go, as in
about ten clams U.S. Finding them takes a bit of diligence. Any place that sells
iPod batteries probably also stocks these tools. You can always get them on
Brandon??™s Web site, www.synctogo.com, or you might try your luck on eBay.
In any event, they??™re your best choice for opening the case, but they??™re not
absolutely essential. In a pinch, you can substitute tools that you probably
already have in your toolbox, but do try to get the plastic ones.
In lieu of the plastic tools, go for a small, optical, flat-headed screwdriver??”the
smaller the better.
