In this video I'll be building a $15 iPod Mini into a see-through transparent resin case. Follow along as I extract the iPod's internals from a broken case, replace the battery, and install everything into a fresh clear case. When it released over 20 years ago, the iPod Mini was the first iPod to feature the click wheel. Nowadays they're still viable and well-regarded for being one of the easiest iPods to open, repair, and modify. Stay tuned for part 2 where I'll be upgrading the storage, designing/printing a clear hold switch and new top/bottom covers.
