iPod Classic Fat Housing Kit - 5th, 6th, 7th Generation
This is a pre-order item. Pre-order will end July 9th. Our estimate for completion will be Mid September. We will begin sending parts shortly thereafter.
This custom-made metal housing kit replaces your old iPod housings from the 5th to 7th generation. It gives your iPod new life by showcasing the original electronics which features USB-C charging and Bluetooth so you can charge it and connect wirelessly to bluetooth speakers.
Our metal housings are made for modding and serviceability in mind, with plenty of space in our housings and disassembles easily with 4 included fasteners.
Features
- Designed around our custom PCB that features Type-C charging and blue tooth
- Includes our custom front and rear glass inlays with 3M adhesive pre-applied
- Front and rear metal housings attach together with 4 included fasteners, so assembly/disassembly is simple.
- Our electronics have solder points to add a taptic engine modification or small speaker for an audible click (not included)
- Room for wireless charge coil (not included)
- Added clearance for battery connector - it's easy to break these, so we made it more accessible
-
Our extra thick design fits our PCB and:
- iflash quad with our 380 mah battery (iflash sold separately)
- iflash solo with our 3800 battery (iflash sold separately)
-
OEM slim hard drive with 3800mAh can barely fit if all foam is removed.
- Charge coil not recommended in this configuration: We have tested the OEM HDD stackup with a Magsafe magnet installed over a period of 72 hours with no loss of data, however, we cannot recommend this configuration
- Dimensions: 103.5mm x 63.8mm x 17mm
Includes
-
1x Front housing
- 1x Rear housing
- 1x Retainer - This holds the ipod electronics
- 1 x Custom front glass
- 1x Custom rear glass
- 4x Main body fasteners
- 1x Package of short fasteners for inside components
- Custom Electronics board: Type C (charging only), 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth pre-installed installed
- Power Flex cable to connect the custom electronics board to the ipod power connector
- Audio Flex cable to connect the our custom electronics to the ipod
Not Included
- Boxy Pixel ipod Button kit (Required!)
- 3800mah Battery (Required!) USA shipping only. Search 405570 3800mah Battery if you are outside the USA. This battery is roughly 4mm thickx55mmx70mm. If you find another battery that is smaller in size, it will fit. Otherwise, assume that it will not.
- Optional Taptic module (vibration) or click speaker
- Hard drive: We recommend swapping your HDD for the iflash quad or iflash solo. A slim hard drive can fit, however it will be very tight.
Notes
-
Tools: You will need a small phillips screw driver and hex drive for assembly
- Image of brass version is out of date. It will have the same shape as the black and silver versions! I used an older prototype so you could see the color
- If using Generation 6 or 7 electronics, the click wheel will sit slightly inset from the front face of the glass
- If using a "slim" apple hard drive, it will be a very tight fit. We suggest removing foam from the HDD and you may need to carefully un-tape the battery to remove the bump.
- Type-C is for charge only, not data, no fast charging (Type A to type C cable). The 30 pin connector remains unchanged
- Important! We do not have a large enough sample size to know the tolerance of the OEM components such as button heights, etc. Although we think we settled on good dimensions, there is a risk some adjustments may be needed. Be sure to reach out to us so we can help.

Notes
Anmerkungen:
-
Diese Teile werden nicht in Massenproduktion hergestellt und wir nutzen mehrere Maschinenwerkstätten, sodass Oberflächenbeschaffenheit , Textur und Farbe zwischen den Chargen variieren können. Die Farben können je nach Bildschirm, Beleuchtung und Variationen bei der Eloxierung auch unterschiedlich aussehen.
-
Bitte lesen Sie unbedingt unsere Rückerstattungsrichtlinien für stornierte und zurückgegebene Bestellungen.
-
Weitere Informationen zu internationalen Bestellungen , Einfuhrgebühren und Zöllen finden Sie auf unserer FAQ-Seite. Wir ändern den Wert der Sendung nicht und haben keinen Einfluss auf die Gebühren/Zölle/Steuern Ihres jeweiligen Landes.
-
Messingteile werden im bearbeiteten Zustand geliefert und können Oxidation/Verfärbung aufweisen. Kleinere Bearbeitungen oder kleine Kratzer sind möglich. Gehen Sie davon aus, dass Sie die endgültige Oberflächenbearbeitung mit einem flexiblen 3M-Schleifpad durchführen müssen. (Der 3M 7448 funktioniert normalerweise gut). Tragen Sie nach dem Polieren Klarlack, Poly oder eine andere Beschichtung auf, um den Glanz zu erhalten.

Assembly Instructions
International Customers
We are located in the USA, and want everyone in the world to experience Boxy Pixel products worldwide! It is important to understand a few points:
1. There are two shipping methods available. DHL and USPS (United States Postal Service). DHL is very fast and comes with insurance, but can be expensive. The USPS slow shipping we offer can take many weeks, is not reliable, and is not insured.
2. If you do choose uninsured USPS for your international shipping, we do offer third party insurance to help in case it gets lost. This is "route" insurance. It is not expensive, and is worth the cost. Deselecting this option at checkout will waive all insurance. If your package is lost, we unfortunately cannot send a refund or replacement.
3. If an item gets shipped back to us due to delivery problems, we would need to charge additional fees if you would like to attempt delivery again.
4. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer
5. We are prohibited from shipping batteries outside of the USA.
