The cosmetic state of refurbished tablets: what to expect?

At RefurbishedDirect.com, we understand that choosing a refurbished tablet is a smart, sustainable, and budget-friendly option. A question often raised by our customers is: What does a refurbished tablet actually look like? In this article, we'll guide you through the different cosmetic grades of our tablets and what you can expect from each condition. 

What does “cosmetic condition” really mean? 

The cosmetic condition of a refurbished tablet refers to the device’s appearance. This does not affect performance in any way, as every device at RefurbishedDirect.com is fully tested and works just as well as a new one. However, the external condition may vary, ranging from scratch-free to lightly worn. We use four categories to describe the cosmetic condition of our tablets: Good, Very Good, Excellent, and Outstanding. 

 1. Good 

A tablet in “Good” cosmetic condition shows visible signs of use. This may include a few scratches on the screen or casing, or slight wear on the edges. These tablets are ideal for those who don’t mind a device that looks a bit used, as long as the performance is excellent. 

What can you expect?

- Clear signs of use, such as scratches or dents. 
- Fully functional, but with a more visibly used appearance.
- Great for those looking for a budget-friendly option. 

2. Very Good

Tablets in the “Very Good” category have light signs of use, such as small scratches that are mainly noticeable in good lighting or upon close inspection. These tablets offer an excellent balance between price and cosmetic quality, perfect for those who want a good-looking tablet without paying full price. 

What can you expect?
- Some small scratches or light signs of use on the screen and casing.
- A tablet in top technical condition, but with minimal cosmetic imperfections. 

 3. Excellent 

 The “Excellent” category represents tablets with hardly any signs of use. These devices look nearly new and are ideal for those looking for a tablet that appears virtually flawless. Think of only one or two barely visible scratches.

What can you expect?
- Barely noticeable scratches or signs of wear. 
- A tablet that looks and feels like it just came out of the box, at an attractive price.

4. Outstanding 

A tablet in “Outstanding” condition is in top shape, both inside and out. These devices are almost indistinguishable from new tablets and have no or hardly any visible signs of use. This is the perfect choice for those who don’t want to compromise on appearance while still looking for a great deal.

What can you expect?
- No to minimal scratches, practically invisible.
- A tablet that looks and performs like new, but at a much lower price.
