How to Find Your Exact Phone Model Before Buying a Case

Two phones from the same brand may look nearly identical but have different sizes, camera modules or button positions. Check the exact model before choosing a case: it is one of the most effective ways to avoid unnecessary returns.

1. Find the model in your phone's settings

On an iPhone, open Settings → General → About. On many Android phones, use Settings → About phone or Device information. The precise menu varies by manufacturer and software version.

2. Check every part of the model name

Pay attention to suffixes such as Pro, Pro Max, Plus, Ultra, FE, 4G and 5G when present. Different versions are not automatically case-compatible, even if their screen sizes look similar.

3. Distinguish fitted cases from universal accessories

A moulded back cover normally needs the correct cutouts for cameras, buttons and charging ports. A belt pouch, bag, armband or universal car mount might instead depend mainly on the phone's outer dimensions and its protective cover.

4. Check before completing your purchase

• Full brand and model name, including the variant.
• Whether the listed product explicitly supports that version.
• Cutouts, camera clearance and button placement on fitted cases.
• Inner dimensions for universal pouches and belt holsters.
• Added thickness if you already use another cover.

Frequently asked questions

Will a 4G case fit the 5G model with the same name?

Not necessarily. Check each version against the specific listing.

Can I choose a case by screen size alone?

No. Screen diagonal does not describe the outer dimensions or the camera and button locations.

DFVmobile sells mobile accessories, not smartphones. Search the store using your phone's complete brand and model name, and read each product description before ordering.

Final tip: if a listing does not confirm compatibility with your exact version, do not assume it fits; verify before ordering.
