hey my ipod touch is stuck in it's iworld crystal case, i slided in the bottom part of the case and now i cant remove it because its very tight. what should i do?
lol. Break it open. What else you gonna do?
You can try getting a match and carefully melt some of the plastic and then crack it open.
you can also use a lighter or some sort of fire, put it far enough of so that it doesn't burn the plastic but close enough to weaken it. I think that should make the plastic malleable.
That isn't going to help.
It isn't an Apple product. Apple could care less and will probably laugh.
oops! sorry.. I missed that it was an accessory case. Must have been groggy from shoveling snow.

You slided in the bottom part of the case? I think you slid it in....

Okay, how about posting something helpful, rather than critiquing his grammer/spelling? That was of no help at all.
And i agree with what somebody had said above, put it on a radiator or something of the sort, and let the plastic expand.
Try putting it screen side down on a sunny window ledge for a few minutes.
I just spent most of the past week trying to get a Logiix Klear Slider off my 2G iPod touch. I tried those plastic grip mats you get for opening jars, scissors, wire cutters and heat from a hairdryer to try and get it off. Nothing worked. I could get the bottom part off (eventually) but not the top. I was wary of the suggestions of putting a flame anywhere near delicate electronics. Less than 5 minutes in the sun and it slid off like butter.
And there was much rejoicing.

I agree.
Heat will help, but you need to be cautious, using a flame is very risky and something I wouldn't try.
I just spent about a week trying to get a case off as well (not the iPod Touch, but a Nerf case for my DS, nearly cracked the DS in half, but it was just a matter of working until it finally came out, being really careful) so I wish I would have some idea like this to try first. I love it when the case you get to protect something nearly does more damage than if you would have left it out of the case.
Good luck!
How to remove your ipod touch from your incase case
Remove the bottom piece and then breath hot and heavy into the opening. You will be able to slide out your ipod touch out of the case. The condensation from your breath will provide enough lubricant to remove the case since the ipod casing is hard and slippery.
