The Sky Condition Checker is a tool which captures photos of the front and back of your phone and uses AI to assess for any damage to the screen or to the back of the phone.

You don't have to go through the Sky Condition Checker but it will only take you a couple of minutes and as we would like to guarantee the quoted value for your Swap if no damage is indicated, we can only do that if you complete the Sky Condition Checker steps in full.
