Fitment Guide - Method 2
These tools can be had for as little as $10-15 and can even be found locally. They are simple to use and nice to have in your household toolbox. Make sure you zero before use and take the outer most measurements — remember the golden rule, your phone is sliding in a slot.
The above example for ordering is:
- Depth: 11mm (rounding up)
- Width: 74mm
Three Recommended Methods
1. Manufacturer Provided (Simplest)
Navigate to your case's online product page specifications from the manufacturer or retailer. Sometimes they're printed directly on the packaging. The above example is:
- Depth: 12mm
- Width: 82mm
If your case has larger protrusions, it's recommended to verify with a ruler/caliper. The manufacturer dimensions may include include unneeded additional distance.
2. Digital Caliper (Most Accurate)
These tools can be had for as little as $10-15 and can even be found locally. They are simple to use and nice to have in your household toolbox. Make sure you zero before use and take the outer most measurements — remember the golden rule, your phone is sliding in a slot.
The above example for ordering is:
- Depth: 11mm (rounding up)
- Width: 74mm
3. Ruler (Caution Required)
Be careful with this method — it's extremely easy to take inaccurate measurements. You'll need a:
- Ruler
- Hard Straight Edge
Use the straight edge to align your phone to the zero of the ruler.
Repeat on the other side to take your measurement.
The above example for ordering is:
- Depth: 11mm (rounding up)
- Width: 75mm (rounding up)
Which dock size do I order?
Once you have your phone/case dimensions — choose a dock size range with your dimensions in the middle. This allows the greatest freedom to fine tune fitment. For the above example, you would order:
- Depth: "7 - 15mm" OR "9 - 17mm"
- Width: "77 - 85mm" OR "79 - 87mm"
And that's it! Hopefully the process does not seem too complicated!
Will my wallet, kickstand, grip, or attachment work?
Docks can accommodate these up to a:
- Depth: 5mm + unused dock depth
- Width: Your dock's max width minus 20mm
For example, a dock with a "77 - 85mm" width size can accommodate an attachment with a depth of 5mm + unused dock depth and a width of 65mm (85 - 20 = 65mm).
If your attachment bulk is towards the middle or top of the phone, the depth limit is negated as seen above.
