  You can mod the zune with an ssd i think.

I tried that and failed, a 1st gen 30gn Zune with 32gb, 256gg msata card and no luck.  I would love to mod the zune, found this sucker for $10 at the flea market and after I put a new battery in it works like new.

  I got for a friend of mine years ago a leather case (for a video5.5) to use with his thick 6th generation. It wasn't the perfect fit, but it did the job. Maybe we could ask the guy selling the thick back cover with the battery if he has or know about cases for thick ipods

He already made one, Alex will send me a sample to test it out. I believe he said it's made of leather
 
Edit: I found his response.
 
 
"The first batch of cases‎ has some problem. I'll upgrade it.
I have three colors now, black, brown and white, which would you like?

  I think I can see in the pictures that the click-wheel is pushed forward.

I actually like that, it adds a bit of depth. But yeah, it might not be too good for the guts.

Does anyone know of a method to remove scratches from the screen part of a 5G cover?
 
I accidentally scratched it from the inside, then tried to remove it with Polywatch (which is made to remove scratches from plastic watches, but works on all kinds of acrylic surfaces). This only made it worse and now the screen's kind of dull.
 
It's not a huge deal, but I want to sell this iPod and need it to be as perfect as possible.

Thanks, but I am aware that I can just buy a new cover. Don't like wasting stuff though.

You could get just the lens bit of the front cover - that wastes the minimum, I guess!  Only its hardly any cheaper than buying the whole front cover.

The Videos are just one piece, unlike the classic that have a glass piece.

Let us know once you get it, post some pics pls (and the price of course)

  So for most of this thread that I have read, the batteries you guys use mostly come from eBay. Is there not a decent one available from Amazon at all?

 
 
Yea, We need to start a thread that keeps track of the models of batteries that work well, average and fail early for each Ipod version. 3g 4g 5g 5g etc.
 
The "One Song Battery Test" should be a good standard of testing to track at least the first time charge.

@ThinWalls
Did you resolve problem *PANIC* ATA: Error 80000000 in RockBox load?

Apologies, but did I post about that specifically somewhere at some point?  I don't remember, so can't answer the question!
 
Rockbox seems to work for me now.  It occasionally crashes, but, so far, always comes back after a reboot (seems to be changing themes that is most likely to lead to a crash).  This is a big improvement on the original firmware, which had developed a tendency to crash unrecoverably, requiring a complete resynch.

Oh yeah, sorry, didn't take in that you were talking about 5th gen.

Hey to all of you,
 
I just wondered, hmmm,  a neighbor mine has a very old ipod 4th gen.
Is that "upgradable" to more GB than just 40?
And if yes, how much more and how?
 
Bye,
