It worked! I've been using my old iPhone for music and am very excited to be able to put more than 20 albums on my iPod.

I bent the back a bit, but what the !&&*. It wasn't working at all and now it does. I used to drive Volkswagens so I'm used to holding stuff together with bailing wire and duct tape.

Actually, it's not bent that bad and I saved money.

A Leatherman helped as did a utility knife, per the comments above.

Also, be very careful with all of the tools. NEVER, EVER push down with a tool when you have flesh on the opposite side, numbnut. You have to finagle a bit, but you can keep your hands out of the way.

Finally, a rubber mat helps immensely. You should have a prepared, stable, protected work surface whenever you're working with tools of any kind.

Thanks so much!
