Step 2Opening Your Ipod Mini
Unlike the standard iPods which have two halves, the shell of the Mini is a single piece of aluminum with covers on the top and bottom.
Although you could use the "brute force" method of prying open your iPod with a screw driver, there is a little-known but very elegant way to open your iPod that will leave virtually no signs that it was ever opened!
First, put your iPod on "hold" by sliding the switch. Heat up the glue gun and place a small amount of glue on the top cover and glue the stick to the cover.
Don't worry, the hot glue, when dry will come right off without leaving a mark!

Very clever. I wish I had read this tip before I "brute forced" mine w/ a screwdriver and left a mark.
