Well…The only good thing about this product is the screwdriver. Bluntly, it is effective and functional, unlike the rest of this product. Included are two incredibly useless plastic “tools” (if you can call them that), that are designed only to bend uselessly and cause frustrations. The “high-quality” battery caused me no end of suffering. After installation, the I-pod failed to start. I assumed it was my fault, but after several weeks I reinstalled the original battery and the I-pod worked flawlessly. examining the battery, I found inferior sweat-shop sodering on a inferior chinese rip-off battery. Opinion: stay away from this product. Spend a little extra and get a quality replacement. Caveat Emptor!

I strongly suggest to also look at some of video instructions online which are more complete than the instructions included with this product. Cracking the case was the hardest part of installation. The tools were suitable for the job, and I’m glad I saved them for when I order a different battery this time.
It had what should have been an idyllic life for any battery. It was not kept in a hot car, not dropped or tossed around, used in a charging stereo dock at work about 75% of the time… so I expected a much longer life than only 4 months.
Suggestion: While you have the thing open, stick an address label or something similar on the inside of the back case, just in case you ever will need to ID your ipod.

The instructions and case tool could be a little better, but once I went online to get some tips on opening the ipod case it went smoothly. Battery has been working well since. Battery life seems to be at least equal to the original.

The toolkit was not the best. The cheap plastic tools were not strong enough to pry the case for my ipod open. However, once I pried open enough of a space with a screwdriver to slip the included tool into the gap, it did a great job of continuing to separate the pieces safely.
The battery itself is incredible. It’s the same physical size as the original ipod battery, but has a much higher capacity. It lasts much longer than the original battery when it was new, and lasts almost 3 times as long as the original battery did when its voltage dropped and almost bricked my ipod. (it had the sad ipod face, which is the most ridiculous error “code” ever)
Delivery was quick, the product was excellent, definitely would buy from them again. One last word of advice, ignore the included directions, and go to YouTube for an instructional video on battery replacement.

What more could you want from this? It’s inexpensive, fits great, works great, and comes with all the tools you need. Resurrected my 4G 40gig iPod without issue. Instructions that came with it were adequate.
