About this part

Overview

Glass Panel

Outer protective glass lens only — for scratches, cracks, haze, or chips with the LCD working underneath. Does not fix blank, lined, or backlight faults. A dark blotch spreading under the glass is a swollen battery pressing on the screen, not lens damage: start with the battery.

The order numbers below are the second-generation iPod minis. The lens itself is not generation-specific: it fits the first-generation mini too, which carries no capacity engraving and is not listed here. If your mini is not in this table but is an iPod mini, this is still the lens.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right cosmetic part?

For this part you do not have to match the generation: one glass lens fits both iPod mini generations, every case color and both original capacities. Confirm instead that the damage really is on the outer glass, that the picture underneath still works, and that the clip layout and nearby hardware match what you removed. Other mini parts are not like this — the click wheel, for one, is generation-matched.

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 2nd 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 lens fits every iPod mini: confirm only that you have a mini.
