Just as good as new!
I was looking for an iPad for digital planning, casual gaming, and overall media consumption. I’m visually impaired so I needed something a bit larger than my phone. I didn’t need the latest or greatest. This iPad Mini 6 generation looks like new. I didn’t see any dents, dings, or any scratches. This iPad is capable of running the latest version of iOS and supports the second generation of the Apple Pencil. I’m very happy with my purchase and would totally recommend this product for anyone looking for an iPad. The refurbished versions look like new and you can save a little bit of money.

Could have done a better job. :(
Little disappointed :( Refurbished doesn't mean turn it on to see if it works then throw it in a box and send it off. You could have at lease cleaned the thing!! If you would have cleaned it, you would have seen the two deepish scratches on the glass. The back had dirt and grime all over it. Seems to work pretty good though. It's OK, not bad enough to take back. You could have done better. BTW When you ship them in future, don't use a box that is 4 times bigger than you use for the ipad box. The box arrived busted open and you could see what was in it. I was expecting the ipad to be gone, thank goodness it wasn't..

Perfection!
I’ve never been an iPad mini fan until I decided to use my gift cards and rewards points on one. I’ve been missing out on these. My mini has been amazing! One of the best tech device I’ve ever owned that I can grab on the go for note taking and sketching. I’m a lifetime fan of the mini, now.
