In this Instrucable I use an old 3rd- or 4th-generation iPod Classic, with a broken hard drive. Useless... or is it?
So far, I have been unable to make a design that doesn't involve carrying around a screwdriver, paint can opener, crowbar, iPod opener, etc. Feel free to tell me your ideas—and please do!
UPDATE: Nickels put into the dock port and pushed can open it and pop tops (the tabs found on soda cans) work, although they bend a little.

For this you will probably need an iPod opener. Insert it into the seam, pushing them apart about a millimeter, and slide it slowly down the side. Repeat for each side until open. I find usually that the dock end is best left for the last side.*
When you take one half off, don't be afraid to break any wires**. You'll be gutting it all anyway.
*Sorry I don't have many pictures, I wrote this after-the-fact.
**Unless, of course, you need them for the parts you want to salvage...

Too bad i don't have an ipod for this!
Would an mp3 work?
And to get a broken iPod, just take a trip to the dump! They're there by the thousands... (jk)
our population is 520 or something very close to that :P
I just don't feel like emailing someone right this instant....
ides /idz/
Alsoplural noun (in the ancient Roman calendar) a day falling roughly in the middle of each month, from which other dates were calculated.
ides of March
The 15th of March in the Ancient Roman calendar, on which day Julius Caesar was assassinatedSo this is a play on words. Theoretically, a soothsayer told Julius Caesar to "Beware the ides of March!"
You did a great job yourself on this iPod wallet.
The cool thing about this is that the iPod fits on your pocket just fine, so this iPod wallet is the perfect size to use as a wallet. Nice job.
Have you come up with any ways to open it other than with a prying tool? (I'm not sure if I mentioned this in the Instructable, but I stick it in the dock hole and push up on the white part.)
