I read the other reviews, many stating the phone had defects or major issues. I am guessing this was a previous batch or something. I ordered one for me and one for my wife. (to play Pokemon Go better, cause our current phones GPS took forever to lock) I did order the pearl white back cover and as I had hoped, both of the back plates were new in plastic sleeves separate from the phones.
Anywho, fast forward to ordering, I had to call in the next day to confirm I wanted the order as it is a high fraud item and they would not ship without confirmation. So, 2 day shipping, out the window as thats not happening. (dont expedite the order unless you call in the same day you order to confirm)
We get it in the mail a few days after we confirm. Both phones including packaging look brand new. On both of our phones the ONLY wear that was seen at all was the finger print readers on both phones, both had minor wear. Minor as in barely notacable and if you didnt look close, you would never notice. Finger print readers work fine on both phones.
So overall my review is, save some money, buy the refurbished phone with a 2 year replacement plan and still come out 60+ dollars saved, because its pretty much a brand new phone. (if its not, you have a replacement plan)
