Got my Geek squad certified refurbished iPad mini 6 in great condition! There was some sticky stuff on the back but other than that it came looking almost new with no dents or scratches at the back and none on the screen. It started up fine and I have been using it for 4hrs and more daily for 11 days since purchase with zero issues! Bestbuy even provided me with an Apple 70W charging brick and a new Bestbuy USB-C cable. Definitely worth it and glad I took the leap!!

For the past two years I've used an iPad Pro 13.9", and also an iPad 10". Now having bought and used the iPad mini 6, I'm getting rid of the other iPads. The Mini is so portable, I find I'm taking it everywhere with me. In the past I'd be reticent about pulling out my gigantic 13.9" in public as it draws attention; not so with the Mini. It's diminutive but I find I can do everything I need to do on it, and it's super low key. It also uses my Apple Pencil. I got a fantastic case for it as well.

I bought this IPad mini as my first “big purchase” and I love it:) sometimes I do wish that I had a bigger screen but the fact that I can fit this in my Brooklyn 28 Coach purse and take it anywhere with me without it being a hassle to carry around!

The iPad mini 6 came in excellent condition. I was nervous after reading reviews of receiving damaged refurbished models but mine works great and is perfectly fine. Screen is in great condition, no scratches or dents & dings.

Although this iPad is refurbished, it works as if it’s brand new. I bought this size because it’s perfect size for traveling esp on a plane and i even take it to the gym with me to watch shows or sports while running on the treadmill.

I didn’t have the highest of expectations with it being refurbished, however when it came with huge dents and gouges out of the metal and no charger at all, I was a little annoyed. I guess thats what you get for getting refurbished but just be careful! Other than the cosmetic issues though its amazing!

Perfect size for everyday use. Obviously not for heavy editing or video. Battery life needs a boost but that’s about it.

I’m about to start nursing school and they had a great Black Friday deal going on with this refurbished iPad mini. Works just as great as a new one and I saved an amazing amount of money!! I would absolutely recommend!

The iPad is super functional with so many perks, and i absolutely love the nostalgic feeling of Touch ID along with new and refreshing features like the Apple Pencil 2. I will be buying more and you cannot absolutely cannot beat the prices of Best Buy!

I bought the latest iPad Mini, and the packaging was satisfactory. However, there were too many scratches and dents on the surface, so I had to return it. These flaws significantly affected the user experience. I hope the manufacturer improves their quality control to ensure customers receive flawless products. Looking forward to a better shopping experience in the future.
