    • Use the edge of an iPod opening tool to pry the plastic cover off the headphone jack side of the Shuffle.

    • Remove the plastic cover and set it aside.

    Make sure to insert the tool right between the plastic cover and the steel cover. If you go too deep, you will pry the steel cover and bend it. The plastic cover is taped to the steel one with some low force glue.
