Which backplate?
Reasons to replace a backplate
-
Scratches, dents and pry marks
Years of pockets and desks, or a rear cover levered off with the wrong tool, leave a plate that never looks clean again.
-
Someone else’s engraving
A second-hand iPod often carries the previous owner’s name or a capacity that no longer matches the drive inside.
-
Bent, loose or won’t clip shut
A plate that has been off and on a few times can lose its clips; the case gapes and the click wheel or screen sits proud.
