I bought a mobile phone from renewed and although the screen was perfect, there was a chip taken out of the body on one corner. Deep enough that your nail gets caught in it if you run it over. On top of that it was really dirty and had the previous owners dead skin in the seam between the screen and body. I used renewed rather than ebay to not have to deal with this kind of thing - very disappointed.

How much did it cost?

[@psalm1tree466]

I will tell my experience with Amazon renewed. First I bought an Apple iPad fifth generation. Long story, but then some months later I bought an Apple iPad sixth generation. I use them for different things. Mostly I use the Apple iPad sixth generation when I do art work with the digital art program procreate. I have had one, maybe two, minor problems with the fifth generation. Not often, but sometimes, when I am trying to type a comment under a KZbin video, the page will freeze up. Then I have to delete the KZbin app. Then I have to reinstall the KZbin app. It doesn’t cost any money and isn’t much trouble. The other concern I have with both of them is that they tend to get pretty warm in the back. I have learned to prop them up in such a way that they are getting pretty much air flow to the back, so then there is no problem. Maybe it’s not because the products are renewed though, but they just seem to get warm like that. As for the Apple iPad sixth generation, I have had it for some months now with absolutely zero problems.

It's been great. No scratches and the battery seems to last as long as I've seen on reviews for new ones. In fact it only had a little "crimping" that wristbands get normally from use. Otherwise it looked new. It came with a thank you for choosing us card and a charger cable. Only one issue really. I couldn't get the tempered glass screen protector I bought to fully adhere to the screen. So I finally got sick of it and ripped it off. And discovered the previous owner already had one on it lol.

Ok, don't know why I stopped to watch this, but wow, the amount of Dumb, coming off this video is nearly too much to keep up with. I'll try to keep this simple but 1st off all, nearly everything you said about cerakote was incorrect. To start with, the process is no harder than powder coating, I've seen more people have issues applying powder coating than cerakote. Cerakote has a line of colors nearly equal to powder coat, and you can also add in gun candy for a wider range of colors. Next, you do not have to sand blast anything, you can hand sand or use scotch bright pads. Next Cerakote does have a single stage air dry version as well that doesn't require baking. As far as all the problems you have had, from what I heard the issue is user error and using simple green instead of acetone AS RECOMMENDED!! there is a reason it's recommended. Now, as far as your "loop" keychain..... who in the hell in their right mind would think keys are going to fall off a carabiner as opposed to a metal " loop" with an OPEN GAP ini it? a 2 year old could see a carabiner is more secure than your " loop" ... I'm sorry I can't, I just can't anymore.

[@donlipton6264]

No. This guy is too generous and lenient on Amazon.....what rigorous process??? They used the phone for an hour and decided it was "fine". 2 days later this beautiful phone, brand new screen and everything--- screen problems. The screen looks all statitlc and in order to get a better picture you have to push and press sides and sensors and well-----im returning it. If they send me another crap then I'm punishing Amazon for the year and will purchase ZERO tech items. You ARE inheriting someone's problem. Yeah there's a decent warranty on the phone but not your time and stress.
