So you broke your iPod, and now you don’t know what to do with it.
Well I decided to turn mine into a wallet.
Now, you can too!
If You Are Having Trouble Seeing The Tutorial
You can download this in a larger version on DeviantART - http://element-spirits.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d47yokj
DISCLAIMER:
Make sure your iPod is unable to be fixed by Apple OR make sure you are ok with completely destroying your iPod.
As you can see, my iPod had its LCD screen broken, and I had a spare iPod.
This tutorial is with an iPod Video - U2 edition. Smaller iPods will not hold as much stuff, so take care.
No, I do not know if this will work with an iPod Touch.
MATERIALS :
1 Broken iPod
1 Small Flathead Screwdriver
1 Large Flathead Screwdriver
1 Pair of Pliers
1 Pair of Scissors
1 Hairdryer
2+ Small Hinges
1 Epoxy
WD-40 (or other lubricant)

Signing UpStep 1Melting Glue
We will be melting the glue that holds the two halves of the iPod together.
Grab your (mom’s) hairdryer and point it at the base of the iPod.
Since we don’t care about ruining the electronics inside, set the Hairdryer to ‘High’ and start melting the base.
After about 5 minutes, start moving the hairdryer around the edges of the iPod. Spend about 30 seconds on each spot.
Go around the entire iPod about 3 times to be safe.
