How to Find Your Phone Model
A quick guide to identifying your exact phone so you get the perfect-fitting case
Ordering a phone case that fits perfectly starts with knowing your exact phone model. A case designed for one model may look similar to another but differ by just a millimeter in the placement of the camera cutout or the positioning of buttons. This guide walks you through finding your precise model on any device.
iPhone (Apple)
Every iPhone has the Apple logo on the back, but that alone won't tell you the specific model. Apple makes it straightforward to look up your exact model directly on the device through the Settings app.
Steps to Find Your iPhone Model
| 1 |
Open the Settings app Tap the grey gear icon on your home screen. |
| 2 |
Tap General Scroll down slightly if needed to find this option. |
| 3 |
Tap About This opens a detailed information page about your device. |
| 4 |
Find your Model Name Your exact iPhone model (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro Max) is displayed near the top of the page. |
What if your iPhone won't turn on?
If your device is powered off or unresponsive, look for the model number printed in small text on the back of the phone (older models) or on the SIM tray. It will start with the letter A followed by four digits (e.g., A2894). You can search this number on Apple's support site to match it to a specific iPhone model.
Android Phones
Android runs on devices from dozens of manufacturers including Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Motorola, and more. Because of this variety, the exact menu names can differ slightly between brands and Android versions, but the general process is consistent.
Steps to Find Your Android Phone Model
| 1 |
Open the Settings app Tap the gear icon in your app drawer or pull down the notification shade and tap the gear. |
| 2 |
Scroll to About Phone On some devices, this may be labeled "About Device" and could be nested under a System or General Management section. |
| 3 |
Look for Model Name or Model Number Your exact phone name (e.g., Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro) will be displayed here. |
| 4 |
Note the full model name Some manufacturers list both a marketing name and a technical model number. The marketing name is typically what you need when selecting a case size. |
Quick Identification by Brand
If you're having trouble locating the settings, here are a few brand-specific paths:
| Brand | Settings Path |
| Samsung | Settings > About Phone > (model shown at top) |
| Google Pixel | Settings > About Phone > Model |
| OnePlus | Settings > About Device > Model |
| Motorola | Settings > About Phone > Model & Hardware |
| Xiaomi / Redmi | Settings > About Phone > (model listed under device name) |
Other Ways to Identify Your Phone
Check the Original Box
If you still have the box your phone came in, the exact model name and number are printed on the label — usually on the side or bottom. This is one of the fastest ways to confirm your model.
Use Your IMEI Number
Every phone has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. You can find it by dialing *#06# on any phone's dial pad. Once you have your IMEI, enter it on a site like imei.info to retrieve your exact model details.
Look at Your Phone's Physical Design
Camera layout, screen size, and button placement can help narrow things down if all else fails. Comparing your device to images online is a practical fallback, though it's always best to confirm via your settings for accuracy.
Why Your Exact Model Matters for Cases
Phone manufacturers often release several models in the same lineup that look nearly identical but have slightly different dimensions. For example, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro share a similar appearance but differ in size, camera module shape, and button type. Choosing a case made for the wrong variant can result in misaligned ports, blocked buttons, or a loose fit that won't protect your device properly.
Taking 30 seconds to confirm your exact model ensures you get a case that fits like it was made for your phone — because it was.
