Excellent.
A near-perfect phone with a flawless screen and a body that looks like new. You may find one or two extremely faint micro-scratches on the casing, but these won't be visible from arm's length.
Great.
In very good condition, with light signs of everyday use. Minor scratches or scuffs to the screen or body may be visible on closer inspection, but they'll have no impact on how your phone works.
Good.
More noticeable signs of everyday use, with visible scratches or scuffs on the screen or body. A great choice if you prioritise value and functionality over a near-perfect appearance.
Good to go, straight out of the box.
