Custom iPad, MacBook and Kindle cases: find your model
A custom iPad case, a custom MacBook case or a custom Kindle case is made for the models listed with it, because dimensions, cameras, ports and button positions can change between generations. Check your model first; it is usually quick and helps you avoid ordering a case that does not fit. For a custom laptop sleeve, check the measurements instead.
Custom iPad case: find the generation
Open Settings, then General, then About. Model Name shows which iPad you have, for example iPad (10th generation) or iPad Air 11-inch (M2). Sizbo lists iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro cases by screen size and generation, for example iPad 10.9 (10th Gen) or iPad 11 A16 (11th Gen). Some entries cover several generations that share the same size and shape, such as iPad 10.2 (9th/8th/7th Gen).
The iPad case protects the front and the back; the designer shows the printed area for your model with a dashed line.
Custom MacBook case: the A number
Turn the MacBook over. In the small print on the bottom you will find "Model A" followed by four digits, for example A2681. Every MacBook case in the designer lists its A numbers in brackets, such as MacBook Air 13.6 [A2681]: pick the one that contains yours. The Apple menu, then About This Mac, shows the screen size and year if you want to double-check.
The MacBook case is a slim, low-profile, vented case with a scratch-resistant printed surface. Cases are listed for selected MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with 33 to 41 cm (13 to 16 in) screens and the MacBook Neo 13, each by its A numbers.
Custom Kindle case
On most Kindles, open Settings (or All Settings), then Device Options, then Device Info, to see the model; the menu names vary a little between models and software versions. The Kindle case is a folio in vegan leather that covers the screen and the back. It is listed for Kindle Paperwhite 5 (11th generation), Paperwhite 6 (12th generation), Paperwhite 6 Signature Edition, Kindle Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature Edition.
Custom laptop sleeve
The laptop sleeve is not cut for one model. It comes in three sizes with these inner measurements:
- 33 cm (13 in): 31.2 × 21.5 × 2.5 cm,
- 36 cm (14 in): 31.6 × 22.5 × 2.5 cm,
- 41 cm (16 in): 36.3 × 26 × 3 cm.
Measure the width, depth and thickness of your laptop and choose the size it fits into, rather than going by screen size alone. The sleeve has an outer layer in PU leather.
Designing the case
- The designer shows the printed area of the model you chose. The dashed line is the product's edge: keep faces and words well inside it. Anything outside is faded in the designer because it is not part of the product.
- Laptops and tablets are large: use the original photo from your camera, not a small copy. The designer warns you if a photo is too small.
- A pattern or a wide landscape suits a laptop lid; a portrait suits an iPad or a Kindle held upright.
Compare the cases on the laptop and tablet cases page or start in the designer. For your phone, the phone case guide explains how to check the model.
