Which phone case fits my phone?

For a phone case to fit correctly, it needs to be designed specifically for your phone model. Phones in the same series can look almost identical but differ in size and in the position of their cameras and buttons.

Here’s how to find your phone’s model name and choose the right case.

How to find your phone’s model name

If you’re unsure which phone you have, you can usually find the model name in the device settings.

On an iPhone

  1. Open Settings.

  2. Select General.

  3. Tap About.

  4. Check the information next to Model Name.

For example, it may say iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 16 Pro Max.

On Samsung and other Android phones

  1. Open Settings.

  2. Select About phone.

  3. Look for Model name or Model number.

The menu names may vary between Android phones. You can also use the search bar in the settings and search for “model name”.

Does the same case fit different phone models?

Usually not. Even if two phones have the same screen size, their external dimensions and the position of their cameras and buttons may differ.

A case made for iPhone 16 will therefore not automatically fit iPhone 16 Pro. The same applies to different Samsung models and generations. Always check the complete model name before placing your order.

What is the difference between regular and MagSafe-compatible cases?

Once you’ve identified the correct phone model, you also need to choose which type of case you want.

A regular phone case protects the back and edges of your phone. A MagSafe-compatible case also has built-in magnets that allow you to use MagSafe-compatible chargers and accessories.

Your phone model and MagSafe compatibility are two different things. The case must fit your phone model and support MagSafe if you want to use magnetic accessories.

What should I do if my phone case doesn’t fit?

First, check that the model name on the packaging or product page matches your phone’s model name exactly.

Signs that you may have chosen the wrong case include:

  • The camera is not correctly aligned with the opening.

  • The buttons are difficult to use.

  • The phone feels loose inside the case.

  • The case cannot be fitted properly.

  • The charging port or speakers are covered.

Do not use the case if it doesn’t fit correctly. Check which phone model you have before choosing a new one.

Frequently asked questions about phone cases and phone models

How do I know which iPhone model I have?

Open Settings, select General and then About. Your phone model is displayed next to Model Name.

How do I find the model name of a Samsung phone?

Open Settings and select About phone. The model name and model number are usually displayed there.

Can one case fit several phone models?

In some cases, a phone case may be compatible with several models, but always rely on the information provided on the product page. The same screen size does not necessarily mean that the phones have the same dimensions.

Does a Pro case fit a regular iPhone?

Usually not. Pro models may have different dimensions and a different camera design from the standard model.

Can I check the model without the original packaging?

Yes. The model name can usually be found in the phone’s settings, so you don’t need the original packaging.
