  2. Top cap and two screws offGive the glued top cap a brief burst of warm air from a hair dryer on low, aimed at the cap only, then lift it a little at a time round the seam; the plastic is soft, so lift rather than lever.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right cosmetic part?

Any iPod mini (1st or 2nd Gen, 4GB or 6GB) takes this bezel; just confirm you need the bottom dock bezel, not the top headphone bezel. This trim is white on every case color, so there is no color to match; check the clip layout and nearby hardware before ordering.

Is this for a full-size hard-drive iPod?

The iPod mini is a separate Apple product line from full-size hard-drive iPods. This is the iPod mini 1st Generation.

Will this fix internal electronics symptoms?

No. Housing and trim parts are for fit, finish, color, alignment, or visible damage. Diagnose power, storage, audio, screen, and control faults separately.

How do I confirm this is the right exterior part?

This bezel fits every iPod mini (1st and 2nd Gen): choose it by condition.
