Excellent product I was surprised to see not a mark or blemish on the phone. I would certainly recommend Backmark for a quality product. Kind Regards Dave

Never used this company before, so I was a bit wary. Shouldn't have worried though, the item was delivered on the expected date and the quality of the phone was brilliant. I will definitely be using them again.

My phone arrived very quickly after ordering. Problem is charging cable does not fit the phone. I do not have any other to use.

The quality was as described - a few scratches on the side, but once in a case it looks as new. I went for this model as I already have one as a work phone, so it feels familiar. Everything works as expected, it arrived promptly, complete with charger.

Does everything as required. However, the fingerprint scanner is a bit unreliable- so a bit disappointed with that. Otherwise, great purchase!
