Probably should start around the bottom like dock spot or whatever its called.

The kit came with stuff to take the casing off?
It didnt come with directions either?

thats wierd i never heard of swapping out the batteries, good idea though.

my roomate just changed his, i'm not sure how he did it but i know he had trouble at first. So you'll probably get it if he could.

same ipod i have. i ended up putting it in a vise and squeezed the metal back just enough to create a gap between the plastic and the metal. then i just stuck the tool in the gap and pried all around.
