Home/Shop/iPod Classic 6th & 7th Gen

6th & 7th Gen — metal body, Cover Flow, 80–160GB. Got the other one? See the 5th Gen

The One With Cover Flow

iPod Classic
6th & 7th Gen

Flick through your albums by artwork, not by list. The 6th and 7th gen got the split-screen interface and Cover Flow — the nicest software Apple ever put on an iPod — wrapped in a thinner all-metal body. We rebuild it from the battery up.

What you get

  • A brand new battery on every build — 650mAh standard, or a 2000mAh battery on the flash memory builds
  • Your choice of drive — the original 80GB, 120GB or 160GB drive, tested and healthy, or 128GB / 256GB flash memory on a genuine iFlash adapter
  • Your choice of exterior — the cleaned original, or a brand new anodized aluminum front and back in the color you pick
  • A new screen lens with every new front plate — the lens is part of the faceplate. On original shells we clean and polish the lens that's there
  • Fully bench tested — click wheel, headphone jack, dock, hold switch and a full charge cycle
  • Charging cable included, ready to sync out of the box

Worth knowing: the 160GB original drive costs less than the 128GB flash memory. Spinning drives are cheap now; flash storage is not.

How the price is built

Every build starts at $159.99. From there you only pay for what you actually change.

Storage & battery

Keep the original drive if you want it factory-correct, or switch to flash memory on a genuine iFlash — each with the option of a much larger 2000mAh battery.

Housing

Keep the original shell at no extra cost, or fit a brand new front and back. A new front and back is $29. A full new exterior with the click wheel and buttons is $49.

Color

Each color is a front-and-back pairing we already build. Nothing costs extra inside a tier — the swatches change with the housing you picked.
