About this part
Overview
Replacement housing or trim part for iPod 4G Monochrome. Use it to restore fit, finish, color or visible damage rather than to fix an internal electronics fault. The panel ships bare: the click wheel and the screen are not included. Lift the wheel off your old panel (it is held by double-sided tape, not screws) and transfer it, or add a click wheel on the order form.
