Quick guide on how I replaced iPod Classic shell & Aliexpress replacement iPod Classic shell review

WARNING: Opening the iPod with razors is dangerous & silly (Yea, I'm so silly. I couldn't wait for the iSesamo tool to arrive. This is the disadvantage of ordering from Aliexpress).
Please be careful if you use razors! Plus, you can potentially damage your iPods
Use iSesamo tool! It's easier & safer.... I assumed it's easier based on Youtube videos :p
Here's a store with the most orders: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5145070
As 9th July, I still have not received my bloody iSesamo tool ordered since 31 May
If anyone is interested, I could probably do a follow-up video to see how much easier it is to get into the iPod with the iSesamo tool.

COMMENT: I've replaced shells of iPhones & game consoles but this took me awhile to open up the iPod (Yes, I know I used the wrong tool).
Please use https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Cl... to study up before attempting to open your iPod.

My main aim of this video is to show where the retaining clips are on the iPod and give you a better idea of how the clips locks in place **Hopefully**. This is technically Not a how-to-open-up-your-iPod video as I used an empty shell with the wrong tools. LOL

Overall, I am happy with the replacement shell even with the minor issues I encountered But reality is that I can't really complain because there aren't other alternatives to choose from on Aliexpress.

Also one can replace the HDD with SD card modules/SDD modules. I wish I had the money to buy them so I'm sticking to my original HDD and hope it never dies!!

NOTE: Here are the links of the store I chosen to buy from. Please do your own research as there are many other stores that sell pretty much the same items at possibly cheaper prices and better quality.
