Replace a damaged rubber control button cover.

O que você precisa

Accessing the internals of the 4th generation Shuffle is extremely difficult, as the rear panel is both glued to the front case and secured by metal retaining clips. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to remove the rear panel without inflicting cosmetic and/or structural damage.
Before proceeding, be sure your Shuffle is switched off.

Use a heat gun, hairdryer, iOpener, etc. to heat the back of the Shuffle until it's slightly too hot to the touch.
If using a heat gun, only apply heat for a few seconds at a time. Check the temperature of the metal - if it gets too hot to handle, let it cool.

Use a combination of iPod opening tools and metal spudgers to pry the rear panel away from the Shuffle by the seam nearest the ON/OFF switch.
There are no clips on the top and bottom of the rear panel. With the Apple logo upright and facing you, all the clips are to the left and right.
If you use a metal spudger, you will scratch the housing.
You can try to pull on the rear panel by the clip. If you use too much force, you will bend the rear panel. If it feels stuck, stop and heat the glue to soften it.

Remove the rear panel from the Shuffle.
There may be a piece of black rubber covering the logic board, or it may come out with the rear panel. This piece is part of a rubber seal that goes around the edges of the rear panel and covers the controls from the inside.

If present, remove the thin black moisture seal covering the Shuffle's internals.
Remove the single 2.1 mm Phillips screw securing the logic board to the front case.
