    Not as advertised or worth the savings

    Product was advertised as refurbished and fully tested and working. It arrived without a working cord/charger. The charger was dirty and not an Apple branded product. The cord for the charger was defective and did not charge the iPad or any other product. iPad itself did not come in original packing as advertised. The iPad Appears used, not refurbished. We will likely return this item as it was not as advertised and not worth the minimal savings over a new iPad.

    "Certified Refurbished" ???

    Pretty disappointed - this product was listed as "certified refurbished" but it was extremely poorly packed, arrived dirty (the bezel was grimy and there was sticker adhesive on the back side), and it had a visible scratch on the screen. Battery life is pretty poor and now I'm wondering how much use this tablet has had? I don't recommend buying Best Buy's refurbs.

    It works perfectly, it did have one fairly deep, scratch on the backside of it, but it does not affect the functions and doesn't even show with a case on it, saving $100 was definitely worth it!

    Purchased a geek squad refurb iPad. It was wrapped tight. I came with a usb cord but not the plug so that was weird. Upon arrival, I was looking at the best buy site and noticed the same item was $50 bucks less. Because there’s a fee on electronics, it was pointless to return. Just because you’re getting the best deal.
