IPod stuck in middle console between front seats

[Jek]

Hi hoping someone can offer me a solution. I put my iPod across drinks holders and shut lid (picture 2) and somehow my iPod has slid into gap (picture 1) which the lid, when open, occupied. I can now neither open lid nor get my iPod out. Is there a way to get the lid off without breaking it? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I did the same thing last year but it was 2 keys on a ring that fell down the side. Couldn’t open flap but I used a strong magnet on the lid which grabbed the keys and eventually with moving it to the side enabled lid to open again.
