Prepare your device
1. Do not run a factory reset.
We'll need to look up specs and verify that your tablet is in working condition. After that, we'll run a factory reset with you in store.
2. Do back-up your data.
Choose a cloud service like iCloud or Google Drive, or back-up using your computer or another device.
3. Remove your accounts.
For Apple iPads, remove the device from your Apple ID. For Android tablets, remove the device from your Google account.
4. Bring original accessories with you to the store.
The availability and condition of everything from the original packaging, such as manuals, adapters, and charging cables, may affect the trade-in value.
