Buying refurbished is just the smart move: same phone, same performance, noticeably less out of your pocket.
The honest bit first. The screen has minimal scratches and some pressure marks. These are the reason the price is better than you'd find elsewhere, not a reason to worry about everyday use.
Screen: Minimal scratches present, along with pressure marks on the display.
Casing: The casing and home button are black. Minimal nicks and scratches on the body.
Battery: The battery has been replaced with a brand-new non-original unit, so the phone shows Apple's note that it cannot confirm it is a genuine Apple battery. The battery health reads at 100% and performs just as well as the original. The notification will disappear from the lock screen after a few days and be archived in Settings.
Functions: Functional and in good working order across its system functions.
Overall: A working iPhone SE (2020) at a price that reflects honest cosmetic wear. The pressure marks are real and disclosed upfront, but the phone does its job reliably.
Warranty: Covered for 12 full months against faults, not accidental damage. If it stops working as it should, we sort it out.
In the box: Generic USB cable. Original box not included.

There is only one, and it might be in someone else's cart right now. A cart does not hold it, checking out does. The first person to check out claims it, and we then hold it just for them for 2 hours to pay. Settle within that window and it is yours. Let it lapse and it goes back up for whoever is next in line. Pay before 13:00 on a weekday (not Friday) and it is packed and dispatched the same day.
Door to door, anywhere in South Africa. Every device is local stock, sent via The Courier Guy with a tracking number the moment it leaves us. No imports, no customs queue, no waiting weeks for a parcel from overseas.
The price you see is the price you pay. Because it ships from right here, there are no surprise VAT bills or import duties landing after checkout, the kind that catch people out when they buy refurbished from abroad. What you pay is the whole story.
