No matter how hard I try, I can't separate the two parts of the iPod. It would help if I knew how the clips work and what the opening tool is supposed to do. Just pushing it between the two halves opens only a tiny crack andf doesn't spring a clip. Is the plastic front part meant to flex inward to release the clip? If so the plastic doesn't want to bend. Maybe it's hardened over time? So should I be levering downward or just pushing straght in? I'm baffled because others seem to make it look easy.
