Use a sharp knife or wedge to remove the back plate of the iPod. Wedge the knife between the plastic face and the silver back of the iPod and pull gently. If the back plate does not come off easily, heat the edges once more with the hairdryer.
Set the face plate and innards of the iPod in a safe place away from your work area.
Fill a bowl with water and soak a piece of 400-grit waterproof sandpaper. Wet-sand the back plate of the iPod lightly with the sandpaper until the engraving disappears. Sand the back plate evenly, not just over the engraving.
Apple offers the option of having engraving of a personal message on any of its iPod music players. While great for birthday and holiday gifts, the messages can become scratched and hard to read, negating their intended purpose and cluttering the clean, stylish lines of the music player. Return your iPod to its original well-polished state by removing engraved messages.
