| Good | Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working. |
| Fair | Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working. |
| Cracked screen | Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works. |
