Mobile Screen Cosmetic Grading

• All used mobile device display assemblies, regardless of cosmetic condition, have been tested for full functionality.
• Used mobile device display assemblies are required to meet the same functional specifications as our new products. Those that do not meet this standard are rejected.
• Used mobile device display assemblies are classified as A-Stock, B-Stock, and C-Stock based solely upon cosmetic condition.

• A-Stock displays are in excellent condition, often with no cosmetic blemishes.
• One or two faint scratches on the glass surface – not visible when the display is on – are considered acceptable at this grade.
• Scratches (if any) will not be deep enough to be felt with a bare finger.
• Minor wear on any integrated buttons is acceptable.
• Minor wear on any integrated metal or plastic frame is acceptable.
• If applicable, adhesive around the edge of the display assembly will have been removed and need to be reapplied.
• Battery adhesive (if applicable) may have cosmetic flaws from battery removal. Additional adhesive may be needed to secure the battery in place.

Examples of A-Stock Cosmetic Flaws

Mobile screens will be classified as B-Stock if they have one or two of these cosmetic issues:

• Several faint scratches that do not interfere with visibility when the display is on.
• One or two deep scratches that do not exceed 10mm (2/5th of an inch) in length.
• Deep scratches on the surface of any integrated buttons.
• Scratches or dents on any integrated metal or plastic frame.
• Worn edges of the display glass, including minor chips and/or separated paint.

Examples of B-Stock Cosmetic Flaws

While we do not typically procure mobile screens of this grade, C-Stock assemblies may feature more severe examples of the above B-Stock defects, and/or a combination of several cosmetic flaws. Scratches to the display surface may be more numerous and/or prominent, and could be combined with damage to the frame and buttons.

We reject any used mobile screens that have:

• Any functional issue.
• Cracked glass.
• Damage that obscures or distorts the display.
• Liquid damage.
• Missing subcomponent(s).
• Damaged cables or connectors.
• Stripped screws (if applicable).
