How to Measure Your Device for Our Cases

To measure your Kindle for a case, use a ruler to find the exact Height, Width, and Depth (thickness) of the entire device, not just the screen, then check your Kindle's settings for its specific model and generation, as cases fit by model/generation, not just diagonal screen size.. Comparing these specific dimensions and model number to Amazon's listings or case manufacturer specs ensures you get the correct fit, preventing issues with button placement and overall size.  

How to Measure Your Kindle
  1. Tools: Grab a ruler or measuring tape (in inches or cm) and a flat surface.
  2. Height: Measure from the very top edge to the very bottom edge of the device.
  3. Width: Measure from the left edge to the right edge.
  4. Depth (Thickness): Measure the small side edge.
How to Find Your Model & Generation (Most Important Step)
  • Go to Settings: On your Kindle, swipe down from the top and tap Setting
  • Find Device Options: Tap Device Options, then look for Device Model, which usually lists the generation (e.g., "Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation).
  • Check Amazon: Use the model/generation info to find compatible cases on Amazon's website.
Why This Matters
  • Different Models, Different Fits:
    Even Kindles with the same diagonal screen size (e.g., 7-inch) have different heights, widths, and button placements across generations.
  • Avoid Fit Issues:
    Measuring the whole device and knowing the model prevents buying a case that's too big, too small, or blocks buttons/port.
