Worth repairing back cover before trade-in?

[tensigeka]

Hi,

I have a S9 phone and am looking to replace it wiht S22.

Vodafone offer £360 trade-in credit for S9, but phone needs to be without any significant cracks. I smashed a corner of the back cover so I am pretty sure it wouldn't qualify (everything else is fine - screen, battery, camera etc).

I can get about £70-80 for the phone as-is, or I could get the back repaired (for ~£80, e.g. by iSmash) and then use the trade-in to get £360. Seems like a no-brainer. Am I missing something? Anyone done this before?

Hi @tensigeka 

Yes I'd choose to get the back of the phone repaired before Trade In.

Buy one off eBay for a fiver and replace it yourself! Then, trade it in.
