    Was looking for an upgrade from a Mini but didn't want to pay the price for a new 32GB. Product looks and performs like new. Only complaint that there is no manual when you buy the refurbs.

    This is a great iPad. Bought for my father and he loves it. Only issue I had was with the cable for charging it, was not strong enough to charge the iPad.

    I purchased this for my 3 year old granddaughter it is used for learning games and you tube kids only. It has a lot nicks in the unit itself and the battery life is TERRIBLE! I only need it to last about a year. Hope it doesn’t disappoint.

    Didn’t hold a battery charge for more then an hour or two, and that was just on a homeschool app. Couldn’t update the iOS system so it quickly became useless.

    I was impressed with the attention to detail in refurbishing the iPad3, the price was exceptional. Bought the iPad as a replacement for one that had been broken beyond repair. Purchased primarily as a gaming device display provides a crisp clear picture.

    I could not set up my icloud account on this ipad. After several frustrating attempts I took it to the Best Buy store to have Geek Squad assist me. They did not have any success either. I returned the ipad and purchased a new one.

    I got this for my mom to take to her many appointments. She is not very tech savvy, but she is able to play several games on the ipad. She now has games to play while she waits. She really likes it.
