In the case of the third-generation Shuffle teardown , like with all recent iPods, Apple doesn't make it easy to crack the case. And although only one screw had to be removed, iFixit describes how it had to insert a "metal spudger into a crevice between the rear cover and the rest of the Shuffle" to get the device open.

iFixit publishes customary tear-down of the 3G iPod shuffle
Macworld —
... It seems almost cruel doing this to something so minuscule, but the size of the iPod shuffle didn’t stop the guys at iFixit from doing what they do best—purchasing an Apple product as soon as it hits the market and exposing its innards to the whole wide world . Given that the whole thing weighs just a shade over ten grams and, once you get past the anodized aluminum enclosure, is held together by a single screw, it’s no surprise that the entire process consisted of barely ten steps and required hardly any effort. As you’d expect, the parts inside the iPod are tiny too—a small ...
