iPod turtle Touch 6th Generation Repairability Score: 4 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

While very difficult, opening the case and replacing components is not impossible.

The battery is adhered with pull tabs that should aid in battery replacement.

Many components are soldered together, requiring either a very difficult or a very expensive repair if any one part breaks.

There are no external screws. Instead, a combo of clips and adhesive makes it difficult to open the case.

Ribbon cables connected to the logic board run over the top and connect on the bottom, making it difficult to remove the board or disconnect the cables.

And of course, a big high-five to our pals at Creative Electron for their awesome images and expertise!
