Verified purchaseMy son smashed the screen of our 6 year old ipad and it was going to cost £100+ to get it fixed, not really worth it gien the age of the tablet. It is great to be able to get an already refurbished but much better spec'ed tablet for a similar price. Ordering and delivery is great. I would however like to have a comparison chart or more details of each item so you can really compare the different models you have chosen - hence 4 not 5 stars.

Verified purchaseAmazing service - iPad delivered a day ahead of schedule, and 48 hours after order. In great condition and worked perfectly straight out of the box. Wondering why I never bought a refurbished one of these before, it’s been everything I expected and more, and at a great price. Thank you.

Verified purchaseNot a bad buy at all. I was very skeptical about buying a refurbished item as i’m team brand new. However decided to take the plunge as i know i only really need the ipad to read in bed when i wake up early or late into the night. The ipad itself looks good with just a few negligible small scratches you’lld barely notice. Screen is fine, picture quality also fine. The battery does take some time to charge but also the battery doesn’t run out when left idle, i did test this out for a week and so far it’s been all very good performance. Comes nicely packaged with a new cable and adapter. I was also sure to read the reviews of the seller before making the purchase. Overall a good buy for me.

Verified purchaseI was really nervous about buying a refurbished ipad from backmarket but I am really pleased bought fair so expected a few dings and dents but nothing that affected any buttons the screen was perfect and in a case hides everything.

Verified purchaseResearched long and hard for the right iPad for me before finally settling for this model. Compared prices at various outlets before finally settling for one refurbished and classed as “excellent” from Back Market at a very competitive price. Communication was excellent, delivery time as promised and the iPad itself is like new, I’m absolutely 100% delighted with my purchase.
