Every repair shop ends up with a drawer full of pulled screens. Cell Phone SandBox buys them. We’re an LCD and OLED buyback built for repair shops: you send us your broken iPhone, iPad and Samsung screens, we test them, and we pay you.
What we buy
We buy more than most screen buyers:
- A/B/C-grade screens
- Broken Samsung Galaxy screens
- Frameless Samsung OLEDs
- iPhone and iPad screens
iPhone, Samsung and iPad all go in one screen box. There’s value beyond the working screen, so don’t toss the cracked ones. If you’re not sure about a screen, send it.
