Very Good Cosmetic Condition
Superior grade
A device in Superior grade has been well looked after and shows only the lightest traces of previous ownership.
Any minor scratches on the screen or housing are so faint they are invisible when the display is on and the device is held at a normal viewing distance.
The overall appearance is clean and presentable, and most people would struggle to distinguish it from a new device at a glance. A great choice for buyers who want near-new looks without the new price tag.
Good Cosmetic Condition
Superb grade
A Superb grade device shows moderate signs of everyday use but remains in solid cosmetic shape.
The screen may carry a few small to medium scratches that are visible under direct light, and the edges or housing may show scratching of varying lengths from regular handling.
One or two minor dings on the frame are possible. None of these marks affect how the device looks or feels during normal use, and it remains a tidy, fully functional handset at a great price point.
Fair Cosmetic Condition
"Cheap as Chips"
Cheap as Chips grade devices are here for one reason: maximum value.
These handsets show clear signs of a previous life, with medium to heavy scratching on the screen and housing, scratches up to 1-2 inches in length, and possible dings or marks on the sides and frame.
What you will not find is any cracking to the screen or body. Everything works as it should under the surface, and if you need a fully functional device and cosmetics are not a priority, this is the grade for you.
