The condition was better than described, looked absolutely brand new. Hands down this has been one of the best tech purchases I've made on Amazon. Everything that should be included accessory wise was in the box, no signs of any use.For anyone buying one, just remember, the Tab Active 3 still gets security and system updates so don't be in a hurry, lets the update processes complete and that way you start out right. There will be the usual system updates from the Play Store including play store services and also those from Samsung. There will be quite a few since the Tab Active 3 has been out for a few years and you're just letting a fresh system catch up. Once done you'll have a great functioning tablet with a very good display, good CPU performance and best of all, durability.The battery was as good as new too.The one other thing you need to pay some attention to is putting on the rugged cover that is included. It is Samsung original equipment so no worries there. It's a really tight fit and the online manual at Samsung explains how to put it on. Basically you insert the top portion first, angling it in and pushing it into the case and then the bottom left corner (holding the tablet in portrait mode) and then the right. It took me a while and then I realized that just warming up the bottom ends of the case very slightly made all the difference in the world. The manual says to use two hands to slip the bottom corners on, believe it. Don't bend the tablet and don't press down on the display. Warming the bottom of the case (a hair dryer set on very low) does wonders. You don't want to heat the bottom case corners too much, just a little. You will feel them become easier the bend a little. STOP at that point and install the rugged case. You'll want to press down on the corner of the tablets case close to each side of the very corner and you'll get it. At first you'll thing it will never go on but it does. Compared to the Tab Active 2, the case for the Tab Active 3 is much stiffer, almost the same as for the original tab active. Patience is your friend. So long as you never use high heat and just enough to slightly warm the bottom corners you can repeat the process without harming the case or the tablet.Also, remove the stylus before putting the rugged case on, it helps it flex. When inserting the stylus note that it is not round but square with rounded profiles. Don't force it in, it should slide in although it will be a bit tight at first. It clicks when fully inserted. It can be a bit tough to get out the first few times.The Tab Active 3 has Gorilla glass so you really don't need a screen protector, that is the whole idea behind Gorilla glass and it's an upgraded version from the previous Tab Active models.The WIfi, Bluetooth and the GPS are awesome in performance. The GPS especially is outstanding.The best part of this purchase though was the seller (Farmug Store). They really know what it means to meet and exceed expectations.
