I am trying to open my first iPod to swap the battery. And I know that choosing the 6th gen for this wasn’t the smartest move, but the opening tutorials made it seem doable.

I‘ve followed the tips of inserting the tools vertically and if necessary prying inwards. But I never heard any click. And reading to just pry a bit harder I may already bend the backplate (1st and 2nd picture). Also the front and backplate don’t seem to separate (3rd picture).

Additionally the crease at the top and bottom is so narrow that I can’t get the tools in (4th picture).

Does anybody have any tips for me?
